Engineers and designers grapple with new, significant challenges to their product development processes. These processes now require radical change to successfully and succinctly develop next-generation products, while keeping pace with consumer and market demands.
This brief reviews those challenges, revealing the emerging collaborative approaches and technologies that can minimize disruption during this period of ongoing product evolution.
The fluid power industry is now entering a period of change. The components and systems are increasing in complexity. All these issues are converging, creating a set of demands that fluid power manufacturers have to now fulfill to create next-generation smart, connected products and systems.
These products must be configurable from the top down and bottom up, while minimizing energy expenditure, and maximizing uptime. It’s a complex balancing act, but one which fluid power manufacturers need to master at every point in the product development lifecycle to survive and thrive in this dynamic market.
To achieve this, a company’s product development IT ecosystem plays an important role, helping organizations develop smart, connected products on time and on budget. This brief shares findings from a Lifecycle Insights study on what solution types improve organizational performance with a focus on mechanical design.
This eBook provides an overview of the latest advances modern companies are harnessing to develop more complex machinery and equipment on shorter schedules. We highlight several common development challenges and the progressive approaches, including practices and technologies, that best address them.
This eBook examines the methods and key technology enablers that keep manufacturers competitive during the transition to smart, connected products. It also shares exclusive findings from the Lifecycle Insights 2020 Engineering Executive’s Strategic Agenda study.
Model-based definition (MBD) initiatives are on the rise, replacing traditional drawings and benefiting companies across the development lifecycle and beyond. Engineers often share an MBD with internal and external stakeholders. Each party uses different CAD applications that can produce minute but important variations in the model.
It is hard to build a successful startup, especially for hardware products. Startups must find product-market fit, secure financing, find the right people and much more. The goal of the Lifecycle Insights 2020 Startup Study is to uncover approaches and practices that can increase the chances of success.
This survey-based eBook documents the biggest challenges that startups face today and recommends solutions that startup leaders can put in place to drive success.
Simulation has expanded. It now includes every stage of the development process, from concept design to executable digital twins in operation. Analysis now delivers value across product development. The Simulation Digital Thread is a fundamental building block to applying simulation throughout Product Development.
Simulation-driven design enables better design decisions and reduces development costs. Yet, many fail to realize the real business value of simulation due to technology shortcomings. This eBook discusses shortcomings up the typical approach and recommendations to overcome those challenges.
