Current Situation
Engineering processes focus on bill of materials (physical components), but with more value deriving from digital components (software), this approach is inadequate.
Goals and Objectives
Higher product quality (valid configurations), increased product success rate, lower software development costs, and lower engineering change costs
Technology Deployed
Hardware: Servers, storage, IoT, smartphones, and tablets
Software: PLM, ERP, CRM, MES, SLM, MCAD, ECAD, ALM, cognitive/AI, and BDA
Services: IT services
Use Case Summary
Optimization of product portfolio (on offer) includes identification of features contained in software code base (version control) integrated with traditional mechanical and electrical design options to ensure customer satisfaction and profits.
