Introduction Artificial Intelligence has moved beyond a buzzword to become a core tool in the mechanical engineer’s toolkit. Unlike traditional CAD, where an engineer creates a geometry and then tests it, AI in Mechanical Engineering allows the computer to suggest geometries based on performance requirements. In a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) framework, AI acts as […]

Blockchain for Supply Chain: Uses and Benefits
Introduction As products become more complex, the supply chains behind them grow longer and more opaque. A single component might pass through dozens of intermediaries before reaching the assembly line. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, immutable ledger that records every transaction and movement of a part, creating a “Single Source of Truth” that no single […]

AI Large language Models (LLMs) in Mechanical Engineering Applications
Introduction For decades, mechanical engineering relied on physical intuition and mathematical models. Today, a third pillar has emerged: Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, Large Language Models (LLMs)—the technology behind tools like GPT-4 and Gemini—are now being fine-tuned to understand the specialized language of physics, materials science, and manufacturing. In a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ecosystem, LLMs act […]

Workflow Process Automation
Introduction In many organizations, the “process” is still a series of manual steps: sending an email for approval, manually updating a spreadsheet, or chasing down a manager for a signature. These manual touchpoints are where projects slow down, data gets lost, and errors occur. Workflow Process Automation is the technology that directs the flow of […]
Design Review Process Guide: Definition, Steps & Types
Introduction A Design Review is a scheduled, systematic evaluation of a design to steer the project toward successful completion. It is not just a meeting; it is a critical “Quality Gate” in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process where experts assess the design against requirements, standards, and stakeholder expectations. In Digital Engineering, the design review […]

What is cloud PLM?
Introduction For years, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems were exclusively “on-premise,” requiring massive servers, expensive IT maintenance, and complex VPNs for remote access. This created barriers for small companies and slowed down global collaboration for large ones. Cloud PLM refers to PLM software that is hosted on a cloud provider’s servers and accessed via a […]
What is Agile Product Lifecycle Management?
Introduction For decades, PLM followed the “Waterfall” model: long, linear phases with a massive “big bang” release at the end. However, in today’s volatile market, waiting two years to see if a product fits the customer’s needs is a high-risk gamble. Agile PLM is the integration of Agile methodologies (like Scrum or Kanban) into the […]
What is Collaborative Engineering?
Introduction Traditionally, product development followed a “relay race” model: the design team finished their part and “threw it over the wall” to the engineering team, who then passed it to manufacturing. This sequential approach is slow, expensive, and prone to late-stage errors. Collaborative Engineering (often called Concurrent Engineering) is a systematic approach to the integrated, […]
What is Digital Engineering?
Introduction For decades, engineering has used digital tools (like CAD or Excel), but the processes remained largely fragmented in “silos.” Digital Engineering is a fundamental shift that moves the industry from a document-centric approach to a model-centric approach. It is the practice of using digital integrated apects of design, build, and support to create a […]
What are Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates?
Introduction A Robotic System is much more than a machine that moves. It is a complex “Cyber-Physical” system that perceives its environment, processes information, and performs physical tasks with varying degrees of autonomy. In the context of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), robotics represents the ultimate challenge: integrating sophisticated mechanical kinematics with high-speed electronics and AI-driven […]
