Who am I?
I spent 20+ years developing engineering and manufacturing software:
1990s: Selling and developing Autodesk apps in Israel
2000s: SmarTeam, Enovia, Dassault… working on PDM/PLM tech
2010-12: Inforbix… developed cloud search and data analytics tech (acquired by Autodesk)
2012-14: Autodesk… joining PLM360 team and later developing search for A360
2015: Consulting manufacturing companies at Beyond PLM.

Beyond PLM…
I started to blog in 2008 and didn’t stop…
For the last 6 years I wrote ~1800 blogs about PLM and related topics - technology, engineering, manufacturing...
It is about 1’000’000 words …and I learned a lot:What I learned about PLM from six years of daily blogging

Products are getting more complex

Maintenance is getting more complex too

Complexity of hardware and software

Multi-disciplinary product data sets
Multiple data sets (electronic, mechanic, software, etc.)
Multiple disciplines (design, configuration management and lifecycle, system engineering)

Product data management circa 1985...
Single database with tables. Data queries are relatively simple...Copyright © Beyond PLM 2015
How to think about product data in 2010s
database
network
mobile
global
distributed
multiple organizations
ERP
CRM
other enterprise data
We are past “single databases” point. Where is the right data? Copyright © Beyond PLM 2015
Product data lifecycleProduct engineering is changing suppliers are evolving
Everything is happening in motion
Customers are buying and using our products
IoT: products are communicating in real timeCopyright © Beyond PLM 2015
Product data for better decision making
How to get right data from multiple places?Copyright © Beyond PLM 2015
You want data looks like this…
Decision based data view Copyright © Beyond PLM 2015
And not like that…

Complexity of product data in supply chain

Product data & supply chain options
Supply chain is a gigantic network of companies connected based on their business cases, preferences and use cases. It creates large set of variation and options that often cannot be analyzed by human
How to optimize that?

But it is complex for startups too…
75% of kickstarter hardware projects are missing delivery time.
Complexity of work with CM (contract manufacturing):
Initial product data Collaboration Quotation Options Bidding and communication

PLM integration projectsSingle Database and Federated platforms
Single databases are dead. We cannot pull data in a single place.
Federated platforms are dead on arrival… The latency and complexity of integration is killing factor
Integrations are complex, “data pumping” is very expensive Copyright © Beyond PLM 2015
The era of networks is coming…
Thinks about all successful systems around us They are NETWORK based
Copyright © Beyond PLM 2015
Focus on decisions workflows
We can solve complexity of data by focusing on decision workflows brining right data at the right time.

PLM single point of truth
Single point of truth is disappearing and we are coming to a single moment of truth in a network of product data.
