Aras Customers Generate Value with Digital Thread
We are excited to announce that Aras will be a platinum sponsor at CIMdata’s 2024 PLM Road Map & PDT North America Conference. CIMdata calls the event a “must-attend” for product lifecycle management (PLM) professionals, and the agenda promises a collaborative environment in which PLM enthusiasts will share experiences and initiatives while engaging with like-minded colleagues.
The event agenda includes sessions on the “strategic positioning of digital threads and digital twins within a product lifecycle digitalization program, how AI builds upon and enables product lifecycle digitalization, developing people skills for today and the future, and more. Aras experts Bruce Bookbinder, Joe Moorman, and Malcolm Panthaki will be available to chat with attendees at the PLM Collaboration Café during registration, breaks, and throughout the day.
We’re proud that two companies from different industries who are members of the Aras community, SAIC and McDermott, will present at the event and share their own perspectives on their value drivers for digitalizing the product lifecycle.
Digital engineering on day one
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) recently published “DoD Instruction 5000.97,” making digital engineering a required capability, replacing document-based engineering with model-based techniques. As a result, engineers and program teams can access a common, authoritative source of truth throughout the engineering lifecycle phases via an integrated digital thread.
To bring the promise of digital engineering to life, the SAIC Engineering Innovation Factory created ReadyOne – its rapidly deployable digital engineering ecosystem. Last month, we announced a strategic partnership with SAIC to establish a consistent digital thread to improve collaboration and efficiency in the Defense industry. Aras Innovator® is the digital thread backbone for ReadyOne.
According to Aras CEO Roque Martin, “The combination of our digital thread backbone with SAIC’s digital engineering know-how and years of experience make it easy for customers to meet even the most stringent requirements of the defense sector while still improving efficiency and cost.”
On the first day of the event, David Ewing, director of Digital Engineering at SAIC, will present on “Achieving Digital Engineering Value on Day One.” David will discuss how digitalization is only the beginning of product lifecycle transformation. He’ll share why in this turbulent global economic and political environment, a key requirement of digital engineering’s value is speed – how fast organizations can deploy the ecosystem to realize value quickly.
PLM capabilities manage the design and lifecycle of major assets
On day two of the event, Jeff Stroh, senior director of Digital & Information Systems Management, McDermott, will take the stage to discuss “Adapting PLM to the World of Major Infrastructure Projects.” PLM is a well-established tool in several industrial sectors, but it's a developing area for the world of major energy infrastructure projects. As the world undertakes an energy transition, the major infrastructure engineering and construction companies must also rethink how we plan, execute, and deliver increasingly complex infrastructure projects. Jeff will share how McDermott is approaching this challenge by rethinking processes and tools.
