Webinar Series - Transforming Manufacturing Engineering with Virtual Technology Dassult Systemes delivered a three-part webinar series in May-June 2022 concerning how to transform the discipline of manufacturing engineering using “virtual build” digital thread technology. The three episodes where hosted by Adrian Wood, Strategic Business Development Director of Dassault’s DELMIA product line. Episode 1 – What are the Challenges? In the first episode, Jim Brown, President and Co-founder of Tech-Clarity, was interviewed to elaborate on the most pressing challenges faced by with manufacturing enterprises: • •
Increasing pressure to deliver complex/personalized products to market faster Maintaining product quality in the face of increased pace in engineering and manufacturing without incurring additional costs and delays.
Brown addressed six questions to further clarify these challenges: • • • • • •
What are some of the industry challenges and trends that are impacting Manufacturing Engineering? What transformation is needed and who does it impact? Does this process apply to all industries equally? What are the challenges in transforming manufacturing engineering to higher levels of maturity? What metrics are impacted and what does “best in class” look like? How do outsources supply chains complicate the problems?
Tech-Clarity is conducting an industry survey to better understand and prioritize these challenges. Episode 2 – Understanding the Capabilities and Opportunities In the second episode, Brenton Kemmer, a Digital Manufacturing industry process consultant, was interviewed to provide an overview of the capabilities associated with enhancing the manufacturing engineering process with virtual build technology. Kemmer described five capabilities that comprise a manufacturing engineering process that is enabled for virtual build: • • • • •
