End-to-end Digitalization is Determined by the Digital Twin

The digital twin is an important, if not the most important, enabler for the digital transformation of business processes and the development of data-driven business models. This is why it is the focus of numerous digitalization initiatives in a wide range of industries. Companies however face a number of challenges when it comes to implementing the digital twin. One of these challenges, albeit not the biggest, is the fact that their existing PLM capabilities are most likely insufficient for this purpose and need to be expanded.

PDM/PLM Provides the Foundation for Digital Transformation

The products from agricultural machinery manufacturer CLAAS are becoming ever more complex, and this also true of the associated development processes. Talking to PROSTEP Newsletter, Dr. Kai Korthals, Head of Digital Product Engineering, explains how CLAAS intends to master this increasing complexity and looks at the role that PDM/PLM is playing in the company’s digitalization strategy.

Accelerating New Developments for OpenPDM SHIP

During the last year, PROSTEP gave a boost to the development of the OpenPDM SHIP integration platform. The functionality was expanded in several areas, such as interfaces with CADMATIC and ShipConstructor or NAPA and NESTIX conversions. Continuous development of expertise in shipbuilding-specific software solutions remained high on our agenda.

What PLM strategy looks like in a VUCA world

What does PLM strategy look like in a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA)? This was the key question addressed at the first PROSTEP CONSULTING DAY. In three live sessions, those participating learned how our capability-based PLM strategy consulting helps them master the challenges posed by digitalization.

Whitepaper - Potentials and Challenges for the Digital Twin in the Shipbuilding Industry

Potentials and Challenges for the Digital Twin in the Shipbuilding Industry – Survey

Everyone is talking about the digital twin – even in the shipbuilding industry. But is there something like an industry-wide understanding of what companies in the maritime industry mean by the term ‘digital twin’ and what they expect from it? To find out, PROSTEP conducted a cross-enterprise survey of shipyards, owners, suppliers and classification societies. Due to the novelty of the topic, we assumed that companies have different ideas about the digital twin. In many cases, it is indeed still considered a vision or a marketing buzzword. But there were also positive opinions: “We shouldn’t let ourselves be intimidated by the novelty of the topic. Many things already represent the ‘state of the art’ and can be used for innovation,” said a shipyard representative. At companies already implementing their first digital twin projects, the level of maturity of these projects varies widely. A key finding of the survey is that better collaboration between all the parties involved in developing and using digital twins would be desirable, but the uniform standards needed to achieve this are lacking.

MBSE/MBD extended Designs through the Digital Thread to provide Digital Twin Results

Today, companies in the automotive, aerospace & defense, shipbuilding, consumer products and other verticals have invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours building PLM, ALM, production, scheduling, execution, and quality solutions using standard COTS business applications. The focus is to use standard functions and processes in these tools to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Now the challenge is how to integrate these systems to provide a “higher level” of process management that cuts across business systems. PROSTEP’s OpenPDM can provide integration across the enterprise level set of applications with the focus of “re-use” and “federation” of data while maintaining “system of record” from the business systems responsible for authoring that key set of data elements.

PROSTEP is PLATINUM Sponsors at SIEMENS Realize Live 2021

Leading SIEMENS systems integration partners, PROSTEP, is now a PLATINUM sponsor at this year’s SIEMENS Realize Live 2021 event. As a longtime SIEMENS partner, PROSTEP gives SIEMENS users the engineering products and services to successfully increase productivity, reduce costs, and provide end-to-end traceability with an integrated engineering framework, OpenPDM. OpenPDM connectors extend SIEMENS’ offerings giving users the ability to connect systems of siloed groups more easily. As a result, this enables enhanced collaboration and speeds the workflow of information by providing the latest product information to all users.

SET Level Partners Present Simulated Traffic Scenarios

Before automated vehicles are allowed to take to the road, their safety must be tested using numerous simulations as not all driving situations can be tested on real roads. In the joint SET Level project, PROSTEP is working together with 19 partners from industry and academia on developing an appropriate simulation technology for this purpose.

PROSTEP as a Partner for AGILE PLM Development

Companies in the manufacturing industry face the challenge of responding flexibly to new market and customer requirements. Their IT organizations and PLM landscapes must also meet this challenge. More and more companies are therefore adopting agile approaches and need development partners with the relevant expertise.

This white paper describes how PROSTEP supports them in the use of agile methods in the PLM environment.
