Design releases in the heavy equipment sector are becoming increasingly complex. This iterative process is vital and releasing designs on time is critical to the bottom line. Many companies are looking toward new technology initiatives to improve design releases by enhancing collaboration, reducing errors and maintaining a single source of truth about product requirements for all domains.
This ebook focuses on the challenges in hitting design release deadlines and how the adoption of a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) PLM platform can fast track design release, helping manufacturers better manage complexity going forward.
Traditionally, each design team maintains product definitions in separate design documents that are shared via email or shared drives. But, when product definitions were updated, those changes were not always communicated with the rest of the design team, resulting in outdated files that delay design releases.
Leveraging a comprehensive digital twin allows manufacturers to have an unambiguous product definition accessible to all stakeholders via a common digital thread. Progressive PLM solutions that involve a comprehensive digital twin can help ensure a higher percentage of projects will hit design release, saving both time and money.
When heavy equipment companies automate review and release tasks on a single platform, stakeholders can complete tasks with minimal effort.Investing in a cloud-based SaaS PLM solution with automation tools can help keep definitions and files up to date while improving productivity, minimizing errors and helping heavy equipment companies hit design release for all projects.
