Catching the Wind: A Digital Thread From Design to Service
title
title
speakerS
Vestas is the largest manufacturer of wind turbines in the world. It has nearly 30,000 employees and has installed 88,000 wind turbines. Wind turbines are complex machines, with upwards of 40,000 parts. In response to demand, they are becoming increasingly configurable, with a variety of options, and are manufactured in plants worldwide. The challenges of manufacturing complex and highly configurable devices in a wide range of plants and locations means that Vestas can benefit enormously from greater transparency in its design, manufacturing, shipping, and maintenance process.

THE WHY, WHAT AND HOW OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE PLM DOMAIN
TITLE
speaker
Companies are struggling with implementing modern new ways of product lifecycle management due to legacy data, legacy processes and often people with a significant legacy. This situation often leads to ad-hoc improvements instead of fully benefiting from the potential of current digital technologies. In his session, Jos will, based on field experiences, explain why and what to consider in the context of a PLM digital transformation and how companies can achieve these goals in a non-disruptive manner. The new paradigm will be people, data, processes, and technology.

The Journey from old to new
TITLE
speaker
Taking the step from an old AS/400 system with very little integration to PDM to a full PLM system with parts, configurations, and change management. Not an easy task but a vital stepping stone for future development and a full digital thread, from sales to customer care.
At JBT, implementation of configuration was a critical step as we produce 200 customer-specific machines per year. Future steps would include a CPQ (configure, price, quote) tool that feeds information into the system.
Including electrical and automation in the digital thread with integration to E-Plan and Siemens TIA Portal. Connecting multiple manufacturing sites around the world for one true source of information. Digital twin with a maintained configuration of the equipment and tie it together with IoT solutions.

Modular Architecture in PLM and CPQ
TITLE
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the integration of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) systems has emerged as a transformative force, unlocking unprecedented efficiency and innovation. The power lies in the seamless bridging of PLM and CPQ through a modular architecture, creating a dynamic synergy that streamlines product development, enhances customization capabilities, and accelerates the quoting process.
Tune into this session if you are interested learning what CPC has discovered after nearly 20 years of experience withing the area of Modularization, PLM and Configuration.
