Building the Digital Thread one strand at a time

This presentation showcases how one of our customers evolved from a file based system to introducing Teamcenter initially as a database to store their design data. Then, over time, additional modules were introduced, Capital was implemented, and the Company pivoted most design work from CATIA to NX. Along the way, discrete problems were addressed and efficiency was boosted. But the journey is never complete – there is a vision to continue their digital thread journey and integrate their manufacturing and testing teams into the digital ecosystem. This presentation aims to showcase how you don’t need to eat the elephant in its entirety, and that rather a more sequential approach can make digital transformation easier to absorb and help teams move meaningfully and intentionally toward their objectives at the right pace for the organization. 00:00 Introduction 00:16 Dale background 01:08 What is Applied CAx? 01:56 Journey to deploying a PLM system 02:35 Before & after 04:38 Technical approach 05:49 Don’t eat the elephant all at once 06:08 Roadmap development 06:57 Teamcenter roadmap example 07:35 PLM basics 19:47 Summary
