How to use MBSE for Process Optimization

October 21, 2023

In the fast-paced world of the discrete manufacturing, accelerating processes is a key to success. However, fast processes alone do not automatically ensure quality results. As the famous quote goes, “Garbage in, garbage out”. When you automate a garbage process, all you get is a fast garbage process. Read more

Digital Continuity in Product Development

May 20, 2023

Today’s smart and connected products require the interaction of different components and systems. They are therefore often described as “Systems of Systems” (SoS). Engineers develop their elements in different engineering disciplines and departments. These disciplines speak different engineering languages and require unique views of the same product. As a result, many versions – tailored to the specific process needs of each role on the relevant product data – are created during a product’s lifecycle. The problem with that is: they are blurring the traceability of the engineer’s tracks along the way. The storage of the many different versions in their respective department naturally leads to disconnected silos in terms of processes and data. The good news is digital continuity as per definition is here to overcome this disconnection. Read more

How to avoid voltage errors and current issues with automated electrical schematic simulation
