Decide4ECO

Decide4ECO uses data space for sustainable product development

As part of the Manufacturing-X initiative to create trusted data spaces for manufacturing industry, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) is providing funding to the Decide4ECO consortium project headed up by PROSTEP. The project will address the question of how products can be developed and manufactured in a more sustainable manner and how this sustainability can be evaluated. Integration in data ecosystems plays a key role in this context.

Collaboration needs to become more digital and synchronized

The hyped-up topic at this year’s prostep ivip Symposium was without question artificial intelligence, which was addressed in Expert corners, workshops and even in several presentations by customers. Generative AI in particular promises spectacular time savings in application areas such as automatic code generation. However, the question I ask myself is what AI can do to better help tackle the real challenge posed by digital product development, a challenge that the prostep ivip community has been grappling with for over three decades: namely cross-enterprise collaboration.

OpenDXM GlobalX

Data exchange with integration in the PLM and Office worlds at Witte

Ease of use and maximum security when exchanging data are not necessarily mutually exclusive. This is reflected in the experience made by WITTE Automotive. The global manufacturer of locking and actuating systems for the automotive industry has replaced its existing data exchange solution with OpenDXM GlobalX. The new solution can easily be integrated in both the PLM world and the Office world.

The automotive industry cannot develop all the software itself

The automotive industry is facing a number of simultaneous challenges, which are usually described by the acronym CASE, which stands for Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric. In an interview with the PROSTEP Newsletter, Jens Poggenburg, a member of the management board at AVL, explains how the global automotive supplier from Graz, Austria is dealing with these challenges.
