Backup vs Archive Data backups are usually risk mitigation measures in the event of a technical production issue, such as hardware failure, data corruption issue, accidental deletion, etc. Backups follow a cyclic process, and contain periodic copies of production data that can be restored at any given time in the event of an issue. They Read more
Simply put, a PRODUCT is a good, idea, method, information, object or service created as a result of a process and serves a need or satisfies a want. A product has a combination of tangible and intangible attributes (benefits, features, functions, uses) that a seller or manufacturer offers a buyer or user for purchase. PRODUCT Read more
Complex products and services Most complex products are both mechanical and electrical, with the balance rapidly increasingly moving towards innovative electrical engineering as new product and service differentiation. Competitive product development requires robust collaboration between multiple domains, including the tight integration of electrical hardware and software development with traditional mechanical design and enterprise processes. Innovations in connectivity Read more
Data is everywhere In most industries (and including the manufacturing industry), data leads to knowledge, and ultimately to Intellectual Property (IP) and competitive advantage. There is a lot to do, in business understanding terms, to differentiate valuable or useful data from non value-added data. There are plenty of opportunities to leverage data and convert it Read more
Bills of Materials, aka BOMs, are multilevel metadata structures that represent a hierarchical arrangement of components, materials, and other information required to develop, engineer, assemble, produce the finished product, as well as sell and service it. Creating a BOM is not only a necessary step in the product realization cycle, it is also what makes Read more
Multiple Enterprise BOMs Bills of Materials (BOMs) can be referred to as the lifeblood of manufacturing companies. Whether or not the ‘single enterprise BOM‘ vision will ever be achievable is still open for debate from different perspectives: technical feasibility, organizational maturity, cultural reasons, etc. (including data silo mentality, as well as transition challenge perhaps). It Read more
Putting CAE back into engineering Simply put, Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) is the process of solving complex engineering problems through the use of sophisticated, interactive, graphical software, coupled with mathematical models and optimization systems. The true value of CAE is to foster virtual product development validation by enabling manufacturers to integrate advanced technology into the conceptual Read more
Tata Technologies made a $30,000 donation to the United Way of Genesee County to provide nutritious food to Flint residents during a day-long event on Tuesday, Aug. 9.
