By intelligently automating product design data exchange, you can save countless hours, reduce errors, and benefit from security and traceability simultaneously. This webinar shows a simple, cost-effective solution for secure and automated exchange of CAD and related product design data from within your PLM system’s web clients.
Data-driven, digitized manufacturing enables rapid innovation, product differentiation, and faster time to market. Yet simple mistakes still happen, and they can have big consequences. When mistakes happen in automobiles, airplanes, and other complex engineered products, it can cost millions of dollars or more in manufacturing delays or retooling, unhappy or lost customers, missed market opportunities, product recalls, reputational damage—even litigation. You may have seen a headline in May 2021 where a defense contractor gets hit with a $13M fine for defense export violations. In short, they sent technical drawings of parts for fighter airplanes and weapons to the wrong place. Also, in the automotive industry, cybersecurity incidents have risen sharply, up 605% since 2016, with over half of the incidents in 2019 caused by cybercriminals intent on disrupting businesses, stealing intellectual property, and demanding ransoms.
By intelligently automating product design data exchange, you can save countless hours, reduce errors, improve data integrity and benefit from security and traceability simultaneously. No more searching for CAD files in your PLM, exporting them to folders, using tools (like quality checkers, translators, CAD systems) to rename data, and employing various file exchange capabilities. You can automate all of these time-consuming steps and replace with one simple process. Likewise, the receipt of CAD files from your partners can be automated to load directly into your PLM system.
Key takeaways:
- Learn the three steps to automating product design data exchange from within your PLM, including Siemens Teamcenter and PTC Windchill to facilitate round trip collaboration with your customers and suppliers.
- Discover the numerous, measurable benefits of automating product design data exchange.
- See a demonstration of a simple, cost-effective solution for secure and automated exchange of CAD and related product design data from within your PLM system’s web clients.
