White Papers
Aras® Requirements Management is a next generation requirements management solution embedded in enterprise PLM for systems engineering.
As competition heats up from OEMs and Owner/Operators who want to take more share of maintenance dollars, third-party MRO providers are facing increased pressure to deliver effective, low cost maintenance services.
Today’s product innovations, and tomorrow’s, rely on simulation. Managing simulation data and results in the Digital Thread with Aras scales the value of simulation to more of the product lifecycle, advancing innovation today and into the future.
The Aviation Industry is booming as economies strengthen globally, resulting in increased passenger growth. This is causing large investments in new aircraft, and as fuel prices remain stable, legacy aircraft remain in operation to augment this increase in passenger traffic. All of this while the OEMs push to reduce a backlog of orders.
The rapidly growing complexity of products presents a significant challenge for manufacturers that are competing to bring the latest, most sophisticated, and connected products to market. This level of complexity has also introduced the need to take a systems level approach. Collaborating across disciplines—mechanical, electronic, and software—creating systems of systems. This eBook explores five concepts that will help engineering leads develop system-centric design processes, align teams, master product complexity, and drive innovation.
The digital age is pressuring organizations to innovate and operate more efficiently to avoid disruption. Leading manufacturers recognize the need to transform their technology and processes to fully harness product data across the enterprise and across the product lifecycle. What’s clear is that they are unsure where to start.
The accelerating pace of change and complexity in the engineering of new products is no surprise to any engineering organization—and the high-level goals largely remain the same: pursue innovation, decrease cycle time and cost, while improving product quality.
In Part I, we examined how developing a complimentary approach that capitalizes on the specific strengths of both Systems Engineering and Product Lifecycle Management systems can be the key to addressing the entire product development lifecycle. This second part focuses on how the holistic management of engineering information and processes, across the entire engineering lifecycle, can bring immediate benefits and also provide a foundation for continuous improvement - perhaps even transformation - of engineering.
The benefits and rationale for broader use of simulation for early design validation and reduced reliance on physical prototypes are well documented and an opportunity that manufacturers must pursue for both pragmatic and competitive reasons. As product complexity increases and businesses seek opportunities for growth, simulation moves to the forefront for strategic capabilities around the Digital Twin, for predictive maintenance and closed-loop development, as well as additive manufacturing, and generative design.
The Oil and Gas industry is facing increasing levels of competition from new entrants such as shale and renewables (in the context of a historically low oil prices). If it is to achieve its stated goals of delivering higher and more predictable returns for shareholders, it must strengthen how it identifies the most competitive projects (and executes them) and drive down operating costs and improve asset performance.
The world runs on increasingly complex systems. Organizations face critical challenges in designing, managing, and optimizing these systems for the rapidly changing products of tomorrow. Consumers’ connectivity demands are changing at an unprecedented rate, driving companies in every industry to build more complex and more interconnected products and services.
