Mass electrification of all systems has impacted every industry, expanding electronics, electrical distribution systems, and embedded software in today’s products.
This brief compares and contrasts different perspectives to E/E systems development. It provides details on a new and holistic method, allowing engineers to identify and resolve integration issues far earlier in the design lifecycle, helping organizations avoid costly, late-stage project delays.
Rapid advancing digitization is transforming traditional, mechanical products into smart, connected ones. In the 2020 Product Development IT Ecosystem Benchmark Report from Lifecycle Insights, more than half of the respondents cited customer demand for smart products as their first or second most important challenge in product development.
This brief shares findings from a Lifecycle Insights study on the types of solutions that improve organizational performance in product development, with a core focus on industrial design.
The pressure of consumer and market demands is driving product complexity upwards. As a result, the NPI process is harder to manage. In response, many organizations are making targeted investments in digital transformation initiatives to help improve their NPI processes.
Join us for a discussion between Supplyframe CMO, Richard Barnett, and Lifecycle Insights Chief Analyst and CEO, Chad Jackson, as they review findings from a 2021 NPI and Sourcing study commissioned by Supplyframe.
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.

Vehicle programs drive the structure of today’s global automotive supply chain. To better gauge the state of supplier program management today, Lifecycle Insights executed a research project called the 2021 Automotive Program Management Study. Today’s automotive suppliers must deal with more complicated original equipment manufacturer requirements, truncated schedules, and other challenges that make it harder to keep programs on time, on spec, and within budget.
This report shares the findings of Lifecycle Insights’ 2021 ROI of DX Study. It offers new insights into the various drivers motivating manufacturers to invest in DX improvements, the benchmarking methodology used to compare companies, and the enablers of DX initiatives that are providing different manufacturers the ability to better manage the rising complexity demanded in today’s market.
Profitability requires the right balance between cost and performance. This is a complex undertaking when designing plastic parts. Manufacturers want to drive down costs and time-to-market while maintaining or exceeding product performance levels. Suppliers and job shops must have accurate project estimates before providing a quote to avoid taking on unprofitable jobs, or losing work.
This report focuses on the plastic part design cycle. It introduces a progressive approach to address these challenges,
Join Chad Jackson, Chief Analyst and CEO, Lifecycle Insights, and Paweł Chądzyński, Sr. Director Product Marketing at Aras, as they discuss the role of Systems Thinking and PLM platforms have in effectively managing accelerating product complexities.
