Earlier last week, I shared my perspective on how I see the future of post-monolithic PLM systems. If you missed that, please check my article – A post-monolithic PLM world: data and system architecture. I can see a future of PLM services, built on top of an open cloud platform…
Earlier this week, I was traveling to the PLM Innovation conference PI DX 2022 USA that took place in sunny Atlanta, GA. I’m still digesting the events and presentations I’ve seen. In my article today, I’d like to speak about the presentation I’ve made during the conference, which was speaking…
Manufacturing has always been a competitive and complex industry, but it has also been one that is constantly evolving. In order to keep up with the competition, cost pressure, and growing supply chain complexities, manufacturers are turning to digital transformation. This involves using digital technologies to create a “digital thread”…
Engineering and manufacturing systems are moving to the cloud. Born in the cloud, “cloud-native” systems are more efficient, scalable, and reliable than traditional systems. A big part of this shift is data-centric architecture. Data-centric architectures move away from monolithic data management systems towards granular and flexible data model that allows…
Earlier this week, I shared my thoughts about connected PLM and how the organization of a semantic data layer can provide a foundation to build a new approach in data aggregation and communication. For the last two decades, semantic technology was used for a number of projects, and data management…
Connected PLM transformation is one of the strong trends I can see happening in the market of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The main drivers of this process are going deep into manufacturing transformations – new connected products, global markets, competition, supply chain complexity, changes in business models, such as switching…
Data is at the heart of every PLM technology and system. Therefore from a very early stage of PLM development software vendors put significant attention on how to create the best data modeling capabilities for their PLM system and technologies. A few months ago, I published my article where I…
As COVID hit the world, the PLM industry, like many other industries, made an interesting trajectory from traditional (physical) events to very large online conferences and a huge number of various online webinars, video recordings, and digital media. Just before COVID19 shut down the entire world, I attended the PI…
The question of standards is the one that always touches the nerve of PLM people. Stan Przybylinski did again by commenting on my Who needs PLM standards article. Stan brought up a question of data locking and the growing importance of standards in cloud-based offerings. Here is the passage: While…
Everyone has a dream. What’s your dream? If you’re a user, you would like to have a system that will read your mind. If you’re a business owner, you would like the system to magically adapt to every single need you will have as you go and use the system….
