Clay Nesler, of Johnson Controls, discusses how IBM asset management solutions enabled them to bring smart building solutions to the commercial and institutional marketplace - reducing energy use, improving productivity and reducing costs.

How can ERP with Green SCM tools help manufacturers satisfy green supply chain requirements in order to satisfy customers and regulators? Find out now

This paper discusses some important considerations for A&D manufacturers in the context of enterprise information systems and how they can help in addressing five important areas of concern-compliance, control, communications, competitiveness, and cutting cost, waste and complexity.

The challenge facing OEMs (Original Equipment Manufactures) and Software Companies.

What are the key benefits of outsourcing? Is there a downside to outsourcing? Get your answer from this white paper.

The Variable Rate Resource services approach to project or product development enables companies to jump over resource hurdles whenever and wherever they appear.

The Mechanical Analysis Division of Mentor Graphics (formerly Flomerics) provides the world's most advanced computational fluid dynamics products. Our simulation software and consultancy services eliminate mistakes, reduce costs, and accelerate and optimize designs involving heat transfer and fluid flow before physical prototypes are built.

This paper provides CIMdata's perspective on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis; the motivations for its use, its value and future, and the importance for making CFD available to all engineers earlier in the product design/development lifecycle.

This white paper describes the use of CFD for LED lighting products. Thermal management is critical to LED performance and life so mechanical designers need to consider thermal issues from the earliest stages of the development process

This white paper explains the impact of the latest advances in CFD software that helps companies use CFD to improve product performance, reduce time to market, and lower engineering costs.

Interest in DO-254 first occurred in Europe and has since spread to the US commercial aircraft industry. If you are being asked about your company's DO-254 direction and compliance, but have been overwhelmed with information on the subject, then this article is for you.

In today’s competitive embedded markets, manufacturers need to find ways to differentiate without adversely impacting development time and cost. This is particularly true in relation to embedded devices that are designed for use by consumers. As such products become more sophisticated, user interaction via traditional switches, dials, and basic displays becomes less desirable for a number of reasons.

With the significant improvements in scanning technology today and the increased importance of all aspects of security, it is a good time to take another look at and update the factors that are important in selecting a scanni

A case for proactive component management using lifecycle forecasting algorithms from independent component databases.

"Automotive companies are challenged by rapidly evolving technologies, changing consumer demands, tough competition, and globalization, in addition to integration and collaboration demands - to get ahead, you need a new way to successfully manage market challenges.

Electronics and Software Engineering are quickly merging with traditional Mechanical Engineering to create a new paradigm in auto manufacturing: Mechatronics. Industry experts predict that this shift will bring about profound advances in automotive product development. Unfortunately, existing IT and process infrastructures do not provide sufficient capabilities to support the new paradigm: multiple data silos, a lack of standardized processes, and integration issues on a tool level (Mechanical, Electronic, Software) continue to pose serious obstacles to development efficiency, and remain a frequent source of delays, quality issues and cost increases.

Rapid manufacturing's benefits extend far beyond the upfront savings on tooling. Discover how it will improve your operations, sales and profits and why it is heralded as the next industrial revolution. In the first of a series, you will discover the benefits of the freedom to redesign your products at any stage in the life cycle.

Adhering to the constraints and limiting design freedoms are necessary for conventional manufacturing processes. Rapid manufacturing eliminates all of the design constraints imposed by conventional manufacturing methods. It offers designers and engineers an unprecedented freedom to design a product and its components exclusively for the desired form, fit and function.

Bridge to production is not a technology. It is a method, tactic and strategy to overcome the time delay between the present and the anticipated date for receipt of tools or parts. Manufacturers of high-volume products frequently find themselves needing rapid delivery of a small quantity of production-grade components. Without them, manufacturing comes to a grinding halt.

Adding ESD protection to your HDMI system design can be simplified by choosing the proper solution. Tyco Electronics' ESD and overcurrent protection reference layout complies with the HDMI 1.3 specification at 3.4GHz, helps meet the requirements of the IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection specification, and optimizes board space, all of which helps minimize risk for designers.
