Companies involved in the aerospace industry are now facing a critical turning point.

In order to meet user needs while taking into account safety, environmental, and sustainability concerns, companies have been replacing traditional mechanical systems with electronic systems.
As a result, the manufacturing floor has become awash with software and electronics, making the product development process more complex than ever before.

The design and development team is constantly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and data coming from the millions of components and hundreds of suppliers they are dealing with.
Inefficient data management methods, such as manually documenting and logging data from numerous systems and components, can distract engineers from their primary tasks, leading to poor product quality and increased risk of failure.
How can this situation be remedied?

PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) is a solution to this situation.
PLM is now being adopted by many manufacturers in the aerospace and other manufacturing industries to enable the management of product-related processes and the various information that arises within those processes across departmental and domain boundaries.

This presentation will point out the issues faced by the aerospace industry, such as the increasing complexity of products and manufacturing processes themselves, and the siloing of data, and explain the features of industry-specific PLM as a recommended solution to resolve these issues.
