Most of us would agree that books on PLM, Engineering Design and Change & Configuration Management are not the most exciting read. In fact, many of us have actually fallen asleep while reading. So, why is it such a boring experience to read books on PLM? Why do most of us turn a few pages and then put the book away for good? In this special episode of Minerva PLM TV, we discuss the problem of PLM education and why the need for better-written books on PLM is needed to educate the next generation of engineers.

Episode 25: The time for Digital Transformation is now
Digital transformation isn’t a one-and-done project. Change is constant and the rate of change your business is experiencing is only accelerating. Therefore, whatever you’re transforming must be done as part of a larger, more holistic vision—a constantly changing, multi-year roadmap that your executive team continuously revisits and modifies.
In other words, it’s a strategy that never ends. In this interview with Jennifer Moore, Mark Reisig, director of product marketing at Aras, talks about why successful transformation is a collective challenge and why now is the perfect timing for digital transformation.

Episode 24: Transform Engineering Digitalization on a Concrete PLM System
In this episode of Minerva PLM TV, Jennifer meets with Dr. Martin Eigner and continues their discussion about Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) evolution and more precisely how to transform engineering digitalization on a concrete PLM system.
Dr. Eigner starts by elaborating on the difference between horizontal and vertical integration of the engineering process. He further shares why System Modelling is not an isolated application but integrated in the engineering process.
Throughout the discussion, Dr. Eigner and Jennifer talk about PLM and intelligent integrated Requirements Management, Variance in SysLM, Simulation Management, FMEAs, Digital Twin, Maintenance Repair Order (MRO), and more.

Episode 23: How Industrial IoT Will Shape the Future of Smart Product Development
Our February book club read was Product Lifecycle Management, A Digital Journey Using Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) by Uthayan Elangovan, CEO of Neel Smartec.
In this book, Uthayan summarizes the essential topics of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in the era of Industry 4.0. The book discusses emerging technologies, their contribution towards enhancing product design, development, and manufacturing.
It also presents the integration of PLM to key solutions with an enterprise such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) with IIoT and integration of mechanical, electronic components, embedded systems, firmware, and software focusing on smart design, development, and manufacturing in the digital transformation journey.

Episode 22: Why Integrate CAD to Product Lifecycle Management
In this episode of Minerva PLM TV, Jennifer meets with Mark Caradonna to discuss CAD integrations with PLM – why people hesitate to do it and how they can benefit from it.
There are various types of CAD integrations, and Mark outlines the main differences. He goes deeper and addresses a typical discussion with people considering integration – is not easier to add the CAD files into the PLM system in a zip file instead of integrating with our ECAD software?
Further, Mark sheds light on why companies need both Technical Data Management (TDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and why these systems work best together, not as a substitute to one another.
He concludes by answering commonly asked questions in ECAD integration with PLM.
In this podcast, Jennifer Moore dives deep into the world of IT, PLM and PDM and discusses a topic with a range of exciting guests on the show such as dr. Martin Eigner, Susanna Mäentausta, Peter Bilello, Oleg Shilovitsky and many more to come. Join us and learn how you too can become better at evaluating the right IT & PLM solutions for your needs, increase IT project success with organizational change management and much more.
