IoT - This research report, based on a survey of 234 product development professionals, examines the current state of Internet of Things (IoT) adoption by product design teams, its perceived importance, and what features and capabilities teams consider important when making decision about adding IoT functionality to their products.

AR/VR - The term Industry 4.0 denotes a cluster of technologies that’s poised to fundamentally reshape manufacturing and bring about a new industrial revolution. These include 3D printing (AM), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed reality technologies, more commonly known as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

IoT - Predictive maintenance is not a new concept, but as the cost of industrial IoT sensors and infrastructure continues to come down, cloud-based predictive maintenance solutions are becoming an intriguing option for many companies in the manufacturing and industrial sectors.

IoT - For this report, the editors of engineering.com interviewed companies on the leading edge of implementing products as a service with a view to describing and categorizing the types of products that can be delivered as a service and the technologies that make it possible—one company in high-tech manufacturing, another who helps ensure access to clean water in developing nations, and a third in the mass transportation industry.

Advanced Manufacturing - When researching industrial robotics, cost is a critical factor, but finding accurate information is a challenge.

Electronics - Heat, like most things, prefers the path of least resistance. But it is not welcomed everywhere. Sometimes, heat is the enemy, such as in the design of consumer electronics, where powerful chips are squeezed into tighter and tighter quarters.

Advanced Manufacturing - Given the increased adoption of 3D scanning for reverse engineering, it’s important to understand what the technology is and how it works in the real world.

Design Software - In this research report we will detail the relationships between a team’s ability to meet their cost targets, the type of BoM management system they use, and their satisfaction with that system. The results are striking

PLM/ERP - Digital Transformation may be defined in a number of different ways by analysts or enterprise software vendors.
