There are many discussions about how IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) can benefit your business and they cover all the main features, but how are you supposed to implement it? What technologies would work best with your production process? Often times, these discussions are so vague they leave you to do your own research and offer little when it comes to an actual plan of action. It is important to know what is available and how it will improve your efficiency with smart shop floor devices and generating high-level analytics.

Learn more about IIoT

This white paper will walk you through the steps that three manufactures used to determine what the needed to implement Industrial Internet of Things successfully with DELMIAWorks. Here are some of the steps they used:

• Determine a specific problem and a have fix in mind
• Look past the hype
• Pilot one process or cell at first
• Keep the initial scope simple
• Create an investment and roll-out plan

Once you finish reading this white paper, you will have a strong outline of the steps needed for implementation with confidence.

“How can we securely centralize our data, improve collaboration, and design concurrently while maintaining our use of SOLIDWORKS Desktop?”

Example of how SOLIDWORKS Desktop Users Collaborate

Watch this demo below to learn how startup Square Robot addressed and overcame these challenges by adopting the cloud-based data management and collaboration tools with 3DEXPERIENCE Works.

Square Robot found it easier to communicate with one another about key strategic changes, design flaws and challenges, and much more via the cloud-based collaboration solution; Collaborative Designer. Square Robot worked with SOLIDWORKS Desktop CAD and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to use the data and lifestyle management solutions available to facilitate remote design and collaboration.

Because Collaborative Designer and SOLIDWORKS desktop software work together flawlessly, it enabled Square Robot to manage important documents and designs from within the desktop authoring application. Collaborating within a single program versus hemorrhaging from costly IT overhead gave engineers, managers, and key stakeholders flexibility, time, and accelerated development cycles to push their revamped product to market.

The use of disparate tools, however, slows the process and makes it difficult for your engineers and designers to collaborate and stay laser-focused on innovation. It also impedes your ability to manage people, projects and tasks.

Using 3DEXPERIENCE Works

Deliver high-quality designs faster using 3DEXPERIENCE Works on the cloud. It’s the only solution that connects the entire value network in a way that accelerates the process and improves the product.

Effectively lead the design process, adapt without missing a beat, and deliver superior products by adopting these 3DEXPERIENCE Roles:

• Collaborative Industry Innovator
• Collaborative Designer for xCAD
• 3D Product Architect
• Product Release Engineer

Learn the Engineering Manager’s Perspective

Download this white paper to learn how a collaborative design process, empowered by the right tools, will enable:

• Your designers to spend more time innovating
• Stakeholders to “self-serve” and find the data they need to provide necessary feedback
• Capture knowledge for continuity, such as requirements, or design intent, to onboard new members faster
• Support geographically distributed teams more efficiently
• Always be able to see the latest status on projects

Enter Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS® which connects SOLIDWORKS Desktop to the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. Designers can securely save SOLIDWORKS design data to the cloud and access it from anywhere with a browser. All 3DEXPERIENCE solutions for design, simulation, manufacturing and governance can leverage the data once it’s on the platform.

How to conduct collaborative design

Download a white paper to learn how to design products with an integrated approach so that designers and engineers keep using the CAD tools they know and love while gaining the freedom to:

• Spend more time innovating
• Design anytime, from anywhere
• Collaborate more efficiently

ERP software is not a one size fits all solution. So how do you determine if your new or current ERP software is the best choice for your specific manufacturing company?
