Collaborative Engineering

Today’s products are changing faster than ever before, and innovations and technologies continuously drive and accelerate those changes. Smarter, connected, adaptable products are far more complex to design, engineer and manufacture, and require a collaborative engineering approach to be successful. Too often, members of a product team are segregated by tools and software, increasing risk, errors, and frustration. A seamless, data-driven digital transformation can enable and accelerate how companies create products that fundamentally change our lives.

An integrated PLM system enables users to collaborate on all product data, including specification, intellectual property, validation, and verification information. With all electrical, mechanical, software, design, and manufacturing activities they increase efficiency and productivity. The result is a robust collaborative environment powered by a single source of truth that enables teams to get the product right the first time.

Rising consumer demand for smart connected devices and groundbreaking new technologies ranging from autonomous vehicles to augmented and virtual reality to the internet-of-things (IoT) to 5G is driving a revolution in the electronics industry. Today's electronic systems design teams are under intense pressure to deliver more complex products on compressed schedules and budgets. 

Design solutions that work, from concept to delivery, including electronics, mechanical and software with validation through simulation. Our solutions benefit companies that design electronics and electro-mechanical products with state-of-the-art design solutions. These solutions combine best-in-class design tools and processes, driving greater productivity, innovation, and collaboration throughout the product development cycle.

Today's electronics industry often experiences product designs that begin with great promise but lose their way due to unforeseen problems. The physical model performance is unpredictable, and specifications continually change. Design decisions have unintended consequences, thermal and material issues are discovered late, and technical solutions don't perform as planned. As a result, costs escalate, exciting features are dropped to save time, and often the best ideas can't be evaluated in time.

The solution for these challenges is a more reliable way to predict product performance through simulation. Design teams need simulation and test capabilities early in design to quickly learn which ideas work best and validate them before they build anything.
