Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) are terms that are sometimes used interchangeably, but there are actually significant differences between them – in reality PDM is too narrow to describe the full breadth of capabilities that a true PLM system offers. LEAP’s recent webinar on this topic is summarised here to clear up any misconceptions about PDM and PLM for manufacturing organisations.
LEAP recently ran a webinar entitled Easy access to PLM information with ThingWorx Navigate which looked at how engineering teams can extend the capabilities of their PLM system to make important product data available and easily accessible to various stakeholders across the organisation with ThingWorx Navigate. Here we have summarised the webinar and made the recording available. To begin, Paul O’Shaughnessy – PTC Business Manager at LEAP Australia explains the concept of the Digital Thread and how it pertains to the Digital Organisation – using technology to connect the products, people, places and processes within an organisation. LEAP’s PTC Technical Manager Allan Thompson then discusses traditional Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and some of the challenges associated with sharing PLM data across the wider organisation, particularly with those outside...
Let's take a closer look at how different tools within the PTC Vuforia suite help you leverage Augmented Reality (AR) in your workplace and rapidly capture your process knowledge today for future use in training, maintenance and instructions. Here we have used highlights from our recent webinar to showcase how different AR tools & apps within the Vuforia suite allow you to rapidly create repeatable training instructions or step-by-step guides, capture process knowledge and scale your manufacturing expertise throughout your organisation. To open, Allan Thomspon, PTC Technical Manager at LEAP Australia provides a brief overview of AR technology and how market pressures such as the growing worker skills gap and evolving customer demands are driving the adoption of AR within industry. Next, Allan introduces PTC’s...
See how researchers at RMIT University are using emerging technologies such as Digital Twin and Augmented Reality (AR), created using Vuforia & ThingWorx, to support NexGen aircraft sustainment – with demonstrations on a full scale PC-9/A aircraft.
Learn more about the PTC Advanced Partner Program (APP) which provides a key point of difference for PTC partners such as LEAP – demonstrating proven competence in particular technologies (such as PLM & AR).
Learn how the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) & RMIT University used Augmented Reality to deliver a world-leading Transport Safety Investigation course for remote students during 2020, despite the challenges of COVID-19 disruptions.
Learn how Black Lab switched from Solidworks to Onshape, driven by a need for greater flexibility with their CAD system and the challenges of documentation management and working with remote design teams – which have been uniquely satisfied by Onshape’s cloud-based solution.
In the 1st part of our 6-part Windchill PLM webinar series, we recap highlights including Digital Transformation and the Digital Thread, PLM for Data and Process Management and How PLM is the backbone of the Digital Thread.
A guest post by Monash University summarising the outcomes of a Final Year Project combining Ansys CFD simulations with PTC’s Vuforia AR software – with the aim of using CFD simulation results conveyed in Augmented Reality to help improve student comprehension & learning outcomes in Wind Engineering classes.
In the final session of LEAP’s 3-part IoT & AR webinar series, we present the highlights on “Using AR to capture process knowledge & accelerate worker training in a post-COVID world”.
