There’s no other place better than Detroit for this topic. I can imagine that instead of talking about weather and the like during the conference breaks, attendees may naturally start talking about the automotive industry due to the location, timing, and the sturdy relationship between PLM and the automotive industry. After the recent hardships, it is time for people to hear what Glenn Mercer has to share in his speech Outlook for the North American Automotive Industry at the heart of the automobile capital of the world.
Management of Complex Systems
The world is getting more complex; so are today’s products. Product development management needs to not only facilitate collaboration among different product lifecycle stages but also coordinate between multidisciplinary design and engineering activities. That explains why CPDA has scheduled an entire afternoon on the topic Supporting Effective Collaboration Across Mechanical, Electrical, and Software Development Teams in breakout sessions.
CAD Visibility and Interoperability
Managing and controlling product data is an important aspect of PLM, but it is not enough to lock the information (especially computer-aided design [CAD] data) in a vault. A key value in PLM, however, is the ability to extend this data beyond the desktop to other engineers, other departments, and other stakeholders–primarily customers and suppliers. I’m expecting that Dr. Ken Versprille’s session CAD/Visualization Trends: Dealing with Product Complexity & Variation will navigate attendees through the complicated landscape of today’s CAD/visualization market.
