   What You'll Learn

  • Digital thread basics across ideation, realization, utilization.  
  • Digital twin use to predict performance before prototypes.  
  • BOM governance and configuration across the lifecycle.  
  • Multi-CAD, ALM/PLM, ECAD/MCAD, and simulation control.  
  • Cost modeling tied to design decisions and change.  
  • Supplier, manufacturing, and service collaboration flows.    

    Why It Matters

  • Fewer physical prototypes via immersive visualization and VR.  
  • Faster, auditable change across domains with workflow.  
  • Stronger compliance and sustainability reporting.  
  • Higher first-time-fix and service profitability.  
  • Lower IT overhead with configuration over customization.

FAQ

Q: Who is this for? 
A: Engineering, IT, manufacturing, and service leaders evaluating PLM modernization.  

Q: What makes this different from basic PDM? 
A: It extends beyond CAD vaulting to requirements, cost, change, manufacturing, and service with a unified model.  

Q: How does it handle multiple CAD and software domains? 
A: It manages MCAD, ECAD, ALM/PLM, and simulation data with governed relationships and reuse.  

Q: Can it scale globally and connect to ERP? 
A: Yes—open, extensible platform with SAP/Oracle integrations and enterprise connectivity.  

Q: What measurable outcomes should we track? 
A: Prototype reductions, change cycle time, compliance report time, reuse %, first-time-fix rate, and service margin.
