Exploding product complexity often result in overdesigns, functional failures, release delays, or costly leaner expansion of workforce. These are not new, but product complexities are making them that much more impactful. And that is one of the primary drivers beyond digital engineering initiatives: evolve people, data, and processes to effectively manage these complexities. But do you know how reach these goals? What are the key success enablers? The key to understanding that is in understanding the role that Systems Thinking has in mitigating functional product failures.

Selection processes – why are they creating problems for customers?

This webinar speaks to the fact that companies get into trouble, simply because they have chosen the wrong system for their needs. This is a result of a broken selection process that has been designed – not to help the customer choose the right system for them – but to showcase a diligent process. And once the company finds out that they have chosen the wrong system, it is too late.

PLM selection processes today are often ineffective and should be redesigned. Not for our sake, but for the customers. Join Leon Lauritsen, Vice President Minerva Group, A/S, and Mark Reisig, Vice President of Product Marketing, Aras for an informative discussion.

Companies today are facing increasingly difficult decisions as they execute their business transformations. Moving to the cloud is no longer an opportunity, it is a necessity. Find out how Aras Cloud delivers the capabilities needed to solve your organization’s specific and unique, challenges with the most advanced cloud offering on the market today.

The path from a stakeholder requirement, to implementation specific requirements, is a complex one. It requires an understanding the business objectives, effective reuse of the existing solutions, and design space exploration with system models, simulations, and trade studies. See how Aras Low-Code Platform enables project and engineering teams to manage the this process with formal revision control and configuration management that includes traceability to all intermediate steps and design abstractions.

With Aras Innovator, ROKI Co., Ltd. is able to centralize the management of CAD data, which differs for each of their customers. This allows ROKI to avoid the duplicate management of data while establishing a global common workflow. With Aras’ industrial low code platform, ROKI’s IT Department is now able to handle many of the requests for additional functions from users internally, thus reducing the cost of outsourcing.

IWT has seen much growth in its product lines. Currently, the company manufactures 45 different models—60% of which are customized to some degree. Managing this wide product portfolio, with limited production quantities, and a high level of customization, meant that developing a controlled process for managing the release of engineering changes was imperative in order to achieve efficiency, reduce process time, and better coordinate production throughout the organization. With the high level of customization, combined with the requirement for strict compliance in heavily regulated industries, the need for a modern PLM platform became clear.

Digital Transformation initiatives are driving manufacturers to reconsider how PLM strategies can better support their digital backbone. How can a customized enterprise PLM system, which is integrated with many systems and tools, allow modifications to support digital transformation and product development without creating a dead-end customized solution? In this webinar, industry experts discuss the challenges manufacturers face today and how low-code solutions impact the cloud.

Several years ago, Aras made the decision to embrace a DevOps culture to meet the challenges of multiple developers in multiple locations globally. This decision has enabled Aras to adopt a rapid, release cadence for Aras Innovator.

Read this case study to see how Aras benefits from the use of this of important product.

“Digital Transformation Driving PLM to the Cloud“ is an informative eBook discussing how innovative Digital Transformation strategies are forcing IT organizations to consider new cloud offerings for PLM systems. James White, VP of Tech-Clarity interviewed several companies to gain perspectives on different types of cloud implementations and discusses how each of these options provide the capabilities needed to move forward.

Managing and communicating change is a core challenge for any company that makes products. It needs to be done in a clear, collaborative, and transparent manner, but, without a pervasive system of record, increasing complexity makes this process exponentially more difficult.
 
Throughout the manufacturing, supply chain, and service organizations, people need to understand the impact of change—what has changed, why it has changed, and make a determination that the product is still fit for service. In this demo we will show how Aras Innovator improves the change process to document the impacts of a proposed change reliably and clearly. We will also show how changes can be traced back from items in the field to reveal the decision-making process that led to those changes.

Digitalization of Engineering helps providers of next generation products to control accelerating product complexities. System-centric approach allows to see how sub-systems interact on a functional level which results in faster and less risky insertion of emerging technologies, quicker adoption of latest tools and effective system integration with sub-systems from supply chain. 

Chad Jackson, Chief Analyst and CEO of Process Insights, and Pawel Chadzynski, Senior Director Product Marketing at Aras, discuss the role Systems Thinking and PLM platforms have in managing product complexities.

Engineers waste a lot of time repetitively re-discovering and re-analyzing issues that were already addressed before. And yet resolved system model instances don’t persist as managed configurations. Formal management of system variability is key to tracing of what was done and understanding how it can be reused. 

The Aras low-code industrial platform enables engineers to formally manage system models authored in tools like Cameo without limiting their creative freedom but with an ability to rely on formal configuration management when appropriate.

A digital thread is a critical tool used by many CIOs to both digitalize their organizations and to support their own shift to becoming a transformational CIO. A digital thread is the capability that allows teams across the enterprise to follow a product’s digital history and all its related digital assets—from the initial planning and analysis, through design, manufacturing, testing, and on to final sustainment and disposal phases.

The ever-expanding complexities of systems being designed increases the demand for robust and intelligent simulation that is automated, consistent, repeatable, and traceable. While current simulation algorithms are growing ever more powerful, there is a need to make them ever more pervasive across more teams in cross-disciplinary ways. The goal is to enable more simulation, reduce simulation bottlenecks, enable digital verification, and react quicker to changes in product definitions.

Ever increasing product complexity forces organizations to reimagine their approach to design—including new methodologies, design tools, and configuration management for every step of the lifecycle. This also must include the pivotal role of a PLM platform plays in enabling the system-centric view of a product: traceability of requirements, management of systems models, simulation, and cross-discipline collaboration. 



Prof. Dr.-Ing Martin Eigner (GF), CEO and Senior Consultant at EIGNER Engineering Consult, and Mark Reisig, VP Product Marketing at Aras, discuss the role a PLM platform plays in Digitalization of Engineering.

As these concepts progress into the world of business processes and software products, the terminology used to describe the concepts can lead to confusion among industry specialists. DevOps is a good example of a concept that is currently confusing many business professionals today. Read this brochure to understand DevOps and how Aras DevOps will help your organization support a DevOps culture.

Having installed several different PLM systems over the years, Parata found themselves “stuck in the mud.” They were anxious not to repeat the current situation that they were in—saddled with an outdated system that was very costly to upgrade, fix bugs, and to align with their current business processes. Being a smaller company, they wanted the ability to configure the solution as their processes evolved and as they progressed in implementation and usage of the system.

Documents such as specifications, assembly instructions, parts lists, training materials, design reviews, and service bulletins all have one thing in common: your product. Managing them outside of PLM means their contents can easily fall behind changes made to the product, incurring significant time, effort, and risk of error when they must be manually updated and revised.

Aras Technical Documentation can structure the creation of many different kinds of product-related documents by connecting with data from all of the applications across the Aras Innovator platform. It automates data creation, pulling the latest product information into the customizable layout your teams need to work in—whatever type of document that is. And, it automates changes: as each linked piece of content is updated, stakeholders are notified and can accept the change or continue evolving the document. This quick and easy notification and synchronization accelerates their work and reduces the risk of inaccuracies.

In this webinar, you will learn why those who are leading product efforts will be on the front lines in the transition to digital. We’ll delve into why innovation cannot fall to individuals but instead requires participation from throughout the enterprise ecosystem. To be successful, this collaboration will need to be efficient— and tap a discrete manufacturer’s often-overlooked precious resource—product information—whether in siloed systems internally, or not yet connected from a customer.

Il est temps de prendre le contrôle de l'information au niveau de l'entreprise puisque la philosophie d'amélioration improvisée du passé ne peut plus soutenir les sociétés qui font face à des avancées technologiques fulgurantes accompagnées de changements quotidiens. Le PLM procure le cadre nécessaire pour transformer l'ensemble du cycle de vie et devenir la fondation d'une amélioration opérationnelle continue.

As connected as we appear to be, most companies continue to struggle with effective collaboration. Decision chains are buried in email, functional silos limit access to data, and the data that defines products is scattered across various systems and hard drives. These disconnected decisions and isolated data make it difficult to trace the information that went into creating a single product. 

In this session, Aras will demonstrate how organizations can use the Aras platform to collaborate in a unified environment. You will see how a single digital thread of product information connects teams across the product lifecycle. While team members use applications purpose-built for their disciplines, these applications are built on a common platform, the data authored there is inherently connected, and can be easily traversed to enhance communication and collaboration as the product is developed.
