The powerful data available to businesses, together with new capabilities of smart, connected products, is transforming how businesses function on a day to day basis. Product development is playing a key part in the manufacturing value chain. As it spreads, functional boundaries are shifting and restructuring, as new functions are being created.
More and more, manufacturers are opening their eyes to the possibilities and benefits of PTC Creo Simulate, to understand, identify and resolve design issues early in the design process. In an increasingly competitive market place, manufacturers need to be able to validate product performance, improve quality and reduce costs.
You know that, as a manufacturer, it’s a tireless process looking for ways to improve efficiency and get products to market faster than ever before. One way which you can do this is by bridging the gap between CAD applications and technical publications.
Only a small number of small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have set up a best-in-class product design environment (Aberdeen research). This means that most organisations simply aren’t prepared or well positioned to handle new challenges as they arise. But there is software out there that can help.
It’s a well known fact that last minute calls on your design process can extend schedules, sometimes well into the night, to get the job done.
First things first: What is a technical illustration? And where does it lie in the overall manufacturing process?
Being able to access the benefits of design re-use and make the most of your legacy data relies on having the right tools and systems in place. In fact, many organisations face real challenges making the most of the data they already have. According to a recent survey completed by PTC, out of 7000 manufacturing organisations:
It’s estimated that the smart factory market will be worth $67 billion by 2020, growing at anannual rate of 6% over the next five years. But where are the biggest growth areas within the smart factory itself? Which countries or industries are leading the growth drive? An what are the key facts that you need to know about?
