Many companies are still struggling with inefficient manual processes, lack of tracability in their processes and issues related to managing multi-CAD environments. In fact, the average engineer loses up to 25% of their time searching for files, recreating data and answering requests from other people.

One of the hottest topics in the world of product design and manufacturing is model-based definition. Otherwise known as ‘MBD’, it saves engineers time and prevents manual error.

In our image-conscious world, the way something looks is often as important to success as features and functions.
Manufacturers are increasingly using performance-based analysis to provide real-world data on product performance from the field. Rather than making assumptions about performance, this approach offers unbridled access to how products operate once they leave the factory. But for manufacturers who are designing and iterating the next generation of smart, connected products, they need a more advanced approach: Data-Driven Design.
In the age of Big Data, information flows from every production process.
