Introduction Sustainable Manufacturing is the creation of manufactured products through economically-sound processes that minimize negative environmental impacts while conserving energy and natural resources. It is the practical application of “Green” principles to the shop floor, moving away from the traditional “take-make-dispose” model. In a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ecosystem, sustainable manufacturing is the bridge that […]

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) for Sustainable Design
Introduction In the modern industrial landscape, sustainability is no longer an “add-on” feature—it is a core engineering requirement. Sustainable Design (also known as Eco-design) is the practice of designing products with a focus on environmental, social, and economic impacts throughout their entire life. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the essential platform for this shift. It […]

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Introduction As global regulations tighten and consumers demand greener products, “sustainability” can no longer be a marketing slogan; it must be a measurable metric. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a standardized, science-based methodology used to assess the environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product’s life. In a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) context, […]
What Is a Product End-of-Life (EOL) Plan?
Introduction A Product End-of-Life (EOL) Plan is a strategic document that outlines exactly how a product will be retired from the market and what happens to it after its useful life. In a sophisticated Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) framework, this plan is not written at the end; it is drafted during the design phase. Without […]
What is End-of-Life (eol)?
Introduction In the traditional view of PLM, End-of-Life (EoL) was an afterthought—the point where a product stopped working or became obsolete and was discarded. However, in the modern industrial landscape, EoL is a critical strategic phase. It represents the moment a manufacturer must decide how to retire, recycle, or repurpose a product responsibly. With the […]
The Impact of AI on the Engineering Field
Introduction We are witnessing the most significant shift in engineering since the introduction of CAD. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer an experimental feature; it is becoming the core infrastructure of the engineering field. The impact of AI is not about replacing engineers, but about augmenting their capabilities, allowing them to move from being “drafters […]
Engineering Design Process
Introduction The Engineering Design Process (EDP) is a series of steps that guides engineering teams as they solve problems. While the core philosophy—defining a problem, designing a solution, and testing it—remains the same, the way we execute these steps is being revolutionized by emerging technologies. In a modern Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environment, the EDP […]
How AR & VR are Transforming Maintenance in Manufacturing
Introduction In a traditional manufacturing environment, maintenance is often the biggest source of unplanned downtime. When a machine breaks, a technician must diagnose the problem, find the right manual, and hope they have the expertise to fix it. The combination of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), powered by Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) data, […]

Concept of PLM Application Integration with VR and AR Techniques
Introduction For decades, engineers have viewed 3D models on 2D screens. While powerful, this “flat” perspective has limitations when evaluating human-machine interaction or complex assembly sequences. The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) with PLM bridges this gap, allowing stakeholders to interact with the “Digital Twin” in a natural, spatial environment. VR […]

AI in Hardware Design
Introduction Modern hardware design has reached a level of complexity where billions of transistors must fit into a few square millimeters. Traditional Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, while powerful, still require significant manual intervention. AI in Hardware Design is changing the game by using Machine Learning to automate the most tedious and complex parts of […]
