- 14:15 – 16:00 | Focus on Products, Smartly Connected
Today most manufactured products are smart and connected, whether they should be or not. This session will focus on the issues that are faced by companies developing such products and will offer some insights into how industry might improve their development and lifecycle management processes to meet these evolving requirements.
- 14:15 – 14:50 | Synching Siloed Development
Craig Brown, Executive Consultant, CIMdata [bio]
The practice at successful engineering/product companies uses concurrent engineering performed by teams of engineers and technicians synchronizing their efforts at key milestones to assess progress and readiness for mass production. The original motivations for synchronization are being challenged by new technologies and processes like additive manufacturing and agile development. New tools and analytics can help across the product lifecycle. This presentation will focus on how siloed development must evolve to meet today’s product lifecycle challenges.
