Consumer goods manufacturers understand that developing new products with cutting-edge technology requires a unique combination of expertise and ingenuity. Regardless, there is often a disconnect between generating viable concepts and actually achieving the intended outcomes, even knowing this. When it comes to brands not meeting their production goals, what is the root of the problem?

What are the most common product development challenges?

With the numerous challenges that stem from product innovation, manufacturers may struggle with at least one of the following concerns:

  • Will the product perform as expected?
  • Will the product withstand everyday wear and tear?
  • How quiet is the product while in operation?
  • Will the product overheat during use?
  • What will be the overall cost to produce the device?
  • How quickly can the product get to market?

In addition, the more complex the product, the more complicated it is for companies to launch them.

How do I find the optimal product development solution?

What actions can your business take to address these concerns? For manufacturers of consumer goods, finding the optimal solution becomes critical. Having subsequent processes enables brands to develop new products with confidence that they will perform adequately.

Product design and validation encompass a variety of distinct disciplines, each of which presents unique opportunities to optimize and improve the overall product.

Tools essential to creating smart products

Designers, engineers, and programmers can successfully connect and build from each new iteration through integrated product data management, manufacturing process automation, decision support, and other tools. Our solutions offer a unified concept for product design, artwork creation, analysis, and manufacturing. Additionally, it facilitates digitalization by generating virtual representations of products utilizing digital twins. The digital thread's continuous stream of information propagates throughout the product development process, from conception through delivery and maintenance.

Designing and developing your product and verifying that it works as intended can mean the difference between a product never reaching the market and reaching the market faster. By leveraging digitalization, consumer goods manufacturers can save time, reduce complexity, and maintain quality. Consider having the foresight to develop compelling products that increase demand and loyalty while out-pacing competitors.

Explore the key areas of this solution

Adaptable PLM foundation

An adaptable product lifecycle management (PLM) foundation can help you respond quickly to business or market disruptions. Business-wide collaboration is easy when PLM is accessible from a web browser on any device and within the design tools and office applications people use every day. You can choose from flexible deployment options (on-premises, cloud, SaaS) for fast time-to-value and lower cost of ownership.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation

Simcenter provides industry-leading computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for fast, accurate CFD simulation of almost any engineering problem involving the flow of liquids, gases (or a combination of both), and all of the associated physics.

Design for additive manufacture

Additive manufacturing is changing how products are designed and manufactured by enabling optimized designs that were previously impossible or too expensive to make. Design, optimize, and build metal and plastic components using the latest additive manufacturing methods.

Environmental compliance & product sustainability

Stay compliant and address your sustainability needs with material and substance management, automated supplier declaration processing, environmental compliance grading and reporting, and a PLM framework product for sustainability.

Industrial design & styling

Distinctive design and styling give companies a competitive advantage. Our products deliver flexible, robust computer-aided industrial design and styling software that accelerates your product engineering by providing fast concept designs that can be directly used in modeling.

Software delivery (software engineering)

Products to manage the entire software development cycle.

Structural analysis

Understanding how a component or product assembly reacts under stress or vibration is critical. However, as products and materials become increasingly complex, engineers need tools that go beyond linear-statics analyses. Simcenter provides the structural analysis software you need to simulate a wide range of applications within a single user environment.
