Join vdR Group in the International CM2 Congress webinar series, hosted by our partner, IpX. The multiple one-hour sessions explore the seamless integration of CM2 best practices across leading PLM platforms including Aras Innovator.

This first demonstration will focus on how the Aras platform enhances and supports the CM2 standards for product lifecycle management. The Aras PLM platform has been modified to provide 4 Star Certified CM2 capabilities, which include updated forms, relationships, and workflows that align with the CM2 standard.

The Aras PLM platform’s approach to incorporating CM2 principles can be a significant advantage for companies looking to improve their product lifecycle management processes and ensure compliance with industry standards. The vdR Group’s http://www.vdr.com demonstration will provide insights into how these out of the box capabilities can be leveraged to drive process improvement and organizational efficiency.

Wednesday, August 7th, 3:00pm Eastern.

We want YOU. If you are CM2-C or CM2-P certified and have an interest in connecting with like minded professionals to support the successful implementation of CM2 within and outside of your industry, we invite you to join the International CM2 Congress. Check us out! We formally meet the 3rd Wednesday of every month for 1 hour at 3pm Eastern.

Empower Engineering Change - New Proficiency for Interdisciplinary Change Management\

Tuesday, November 8, 2022 at 4:00 P.M. CET

We are undergoing a transformation from a focus on products to increasingly interdisciplinary and networked systems. These systems are built using a combination of mechanical design, E/E development and software engineering. The increasing level of interdependencies between engineering artifacts require new methods to manage engineering change. Against this background, the potential of integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Product Lifecycle Management will be highlighted in this webinar.
 
The amount of heterogeneous data from various development tools requires new approaches to engineering change management. With the help of MBSE models, the impact of a change can be analyzed across development disciplines. At the same time, a PLM backbone can manage formal changes via workflows that cross IT system boundaries. The interaction of the systems and a connection via EAN-CAD/Software-Integrated Development Environment (SW-IDE) will be highlighted in the webinar.
 
In this webinar, Aras Product Manager Leigh Young will be joined by Rik Rasor of Fraunhofer Institute for Mechatronic Systems Design (IEM) and Robert Huxel, Director Business Development & Marketing, XPLM to show the benefits of interdisciplinary change management. They share best practices based on Fraunhofer IEM’s 10 years of experience.

This will be an English-speaking webinar.

What are the next generation PLM strategies? How are other automotive companies using Aras Innovator to accelerate their Digital Transformation initiatives? What does Aras have in store for the future?

Join us at Aras Connect on June 15 in Troy, MI, to discuss these questions and more! Collaboration is key to successful digital transformation and Aras Connect is the best place meet and hear from automotive industry leaders. Attend our live event and learn how automotive companies are using Aras Innovator to rise above the competition and how best in class organizations are overcoming their most complex automotive PLM challenges. In addition, take part in the networking and conversation surrounding the future of PLM and its digital transformation.

PLM Road Map & PDT 2021 will examine emerging disruptive technologies such as SaaS, cloud, hybrid, low-code/no-code integration platforms, model-based engineering, additive manufacturing, virtual reality /augmented reality, IoT, blockchain, machine learning and artificial intelligence. The value they promise to deliver and why they may be disruptive will be considered. No discussion on emerging disruptive technologies would be complete without a look at the standards needed to ensure openness and interoperability. Additionally, we will share some examples of how these technologies are applied within industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive, high-tech, maritime, and heavy equipment.

Digital transformation initiatives are driving manufacturers to reconsider how PLM strategies can better support their digital backbone. This is driving PLM to the cloud and demanding more capabilities and agility than ever. How can a customized enterprise PLM system, which is integrated with many systems and tools, allow modifications to support digital transformation and product development without creating a dead-end customized solution? Is it time to force a hard decision between customization and the cloud? In this webcast industry experts discuss the challenges manufacturers face today and how low-code solutions impact the cloud versus custom equation.

Join James White, VP Digital Innovation Research, Tech-Clarity, and Mark Reisig, VP of Product Marketing, Aras Corporation, as they discuss how today’s manufacturers are leveraging cloud PLM to support their digital transformation initiatives.
