How do you identify and bridge gaps between the teams involved in your product development process? This white paper reviews the challenges of achieving interoperability across disciplines, solutions to cross-discipline collaborations and how an integrated product development platform can help achieve interoperability.
Product development generally involves multiple disciplines and stakeholders sharing information – both internal and external to your organization. Electrical engineers send 2D circuit board layouts to mechanical engineers. Mechanical engineers receive requirements from sales, manufacturing, and industrial design. Simulation analysts get information from the mechanical design team for studies. Technical publications teams receive engineering data for installation and maintenance materials. These teams must work together to ensure projects are delivered on time, meet requirements, and operate the way they should.
But the reality is that sharing and using data between disparate groups is made challenging by the unique software used by each group, and the resulting differences in data source and file type. How do you improve the sharing and reuse of engineering data to improve communication, reduce mistakes, and shorten time-to-market?
