You’re no doubt familiar with the trend for smart products - perhaps you are even reading this blog on your smartphone or tablet. But this trend for smart products is not just referring to phones and computers. It can refer to any product that has the ability to behave in a smart way.
We are seeing the emergence of a smart, connected world. We’re at the start of an impressive wave of new innovation.
To Google is a verb, there is always a smartphone within a foot of you and now it’s nearly impossible to last a day without coming into contact with something connected in a smart way. The Internet of Things (IoT) is now a concept that is coming into practice – the idea that everyday objects like fridges have network connectivity. With this change comes a huge change in the manufacturing industry. According to a Mckinsey Global Insitute Report, by 2025 80-100% of manufacturing companies will be using IoT applications in their processes. There is a revolution coming and if you want to be on the right side, driving that change within your industry, read on. The effects of IoT can be hugely beneficial for your company, but there are also some things that will need considering.
We’ve been talking a lot on the blog recently about the new release of Creo – PTC Creo 3.0. We’ve looked at the exciting opportunities made possible with the new UNITE technology and explored improvements made to help during concept design development with Creo 3.0.
We’ve talked quite a bit in recent months about the challenges of working in a multi-CAD environment. We also talked about the benefits to organisation of being able to overcome these challenges.
Formula Student - a testing ground for future engineers - took place last weekend at Silverstone, 9th-13th July 2014.
Modern manufacturers demand technology that allows their engineers to be agile, flexible and efficient and PTC has certainly delivered with Creo 3.0. Last week, we had the pleasure of showcasing this innovative new software to our customers at the UK launch event in Solihull, demonstrating how the new features and functionality work in practice.
We’re all looking forward to supporting Formula Student this year. It on from 10th- 13th July, all held at Silverstone. Once again, we’re going to be sponsoring the event and we’ll be there all weekend to watch the action unfold.
The new release of Creo Parametric 3.0 comes with some impressive new features and functions. They’ve all been made to help designers and engineers be more productive and create better products.
