I attained the Siemens PLM Connection 2011 India in Pune, one of the biggest learning and networking events in India for CAD professionals. This year the event was organized in following three cities in India.
- August 9, 2011 - The Westin, Gurgaon
- August 11, 2011 - Taj Residency, Bangalore
- August 13, 2011- Hyatt Regency, Pune
It was full day event at Hyatt Regency. One of the things that interest me at the pavilion was the exhibition of products designed for design contest using Solid Edge ST and NX. It was nice to see the large attendees for the event, around 500 design professionals were present! This year’s tag line was “Smarter Decisions Better Products” It was enough to say that the old days of using just CAD software for product design are gone and time to think beyond CAD…i.e. PLM!
The event was divided in four sub-tracks, so as to cater the audience according to their interest. This was really good initiative in favor of audience. The four tracks were
1) Design Solutions
2) Manufacturing (Including Tooling/CAM/Digital Manufacturing)
3) Design Simulation (CAE)
4) Digital Lifecycle Management (PDM/ Collaboration/Visualization)
I thought of getting more insights about the PLM and so attained the ‘Digital Lifecycle Management’ track. When I entered the presentation on what’s new in Teamcenter 8.3 and 9.0 versions was ON. Nice to know about the enhancements in document management, visualization, project management, Stylesheets, platform extensibility services, improved installation and upgrade, system engineering, manufacturing process management and Mechatronics. The TeamCenter v9.0 is expected to be released in Feb 2012.
In May, 2011 Siemens PLM Software partnered with Cortona3D. RapidAuthor products from Corona3D would be integrated with TeamCenter 9 to improve productivity, quality and cost related to the content management and technical documentation.
There was presentation from IBM. Also, there was interesting demo by Moldex3D in Design Simulation and Design tracks.
The next presentation followed was on customization with and without coding using BMIDE and customer case study presented by Tata Motors.
Apart from knowing more about the TeamCenter. It was really an awesome event for networking, was able to meet few friends and professionals from industry, like Tata motors, Tata Technologies, DesignTech Systems, Forbes Marshell, Mahendra Engineering, Thermax and others.
