Nezávislá konzultační společnost CIMdata, se kterou spolupracujeme při přípravě magazínu PLM News, zve všechny zájemce o seriózní využívání softwaru pro podporu spolupráce při počítačovém navrhování na mezinárodní konference do amerického Plymouthu.

Osmnáctý ročník prestižní konference PLM Road Map 2011, která se opírá o jména řečníků z předních světových technologických firem, proběhne ve dnech 4. a 5. října 2011 v hotelu The Inn v St. John’s v michiganském Plymouthu. Z pohledu Středoevropana je tato událost unikátní díky střetnutí nejvýznamnějších konkurentů z trhu se softwarem pro počítačovou podporu navrhování, které by ve zdejších podmínkách bylo prakticky nerealizovatelné.

Ústředním tématem setkání je rostoucí složitost PLM řešení a problematika jejich implementace napříč různými strukturami organizací. Se svými příspěvky zde vystoupí zástupci z řad společností produkujících CAD a PLM software a podpůrný hardware (Hewlett-Packard, PTC, Siemens PLM Software, Dassault Systèmes, Autodesk, IBM) i uživatelé z řad významných zákazníků (General Motors, Northrop Grumman, John Deere, Ford Motor Company, Daimler AG, Procter & Gamble a další).

Jmenný seznam řečníků, odkaz na registrační formulář a další podrobnosti naleznete níže v originálním znění pozvánky.

Speaker Line-up for PLM Road Map 2011 Announced

Ann Arbor, MI – For Immediate Release – CPDA, a CIMdata company, announces details of the speaker line-up for its PLM Road Map™ 2011 conference, to be held on October 4 & 5 at The Inn at St. John’s, located in Plymouth, Michigan. Now in its eighteenth year, this highly acclaimed event offers a program that delivers expanded analysis of the year’s most critical business and technology issues in PLM.

The theme for this year’s conference is the escalating complexity of PLM and the challenges cross-disciplinary integration faces across domains at all levels of detail. The conference kicks off with a presentation from HP’s Christian Verstraete who will discuss how collaborative product development can successfully address the challenges of rising complexity. Pendaran’s Dr. Hossein Nivi and Geometric’s Joseph Sahiouni will join forces to explain how the transformation and implementation of PLM serves as a unique approach for the full integration of information and people with PLM. Georgia Tech’s Dr. Chris Paredis will then consider the benefits and potential of Model-Based Systems Engineering with SysML. PTC’s Andrew Wertkin will discuss the value of an integral PLM approach that drives innovation and quality for discrete manufacturers. Rounding out the opening plenary session, Altair’s Jim Scapa will take a look forward to the next decade in simulation.

A series of conference break-out sessions focusing in greater detail on PLM, geometric modeling, simulation, and mechatronics will follow. Each break-out track will offer a range of stimulating, in-depth presentations made by a dynamic group of speakers who will share not only their first-hand experiences in addressing key PLM issues but how they are gaining true business value from their technology investments.

The conference will conclude on Wednesday afternoon with a plenary session featuring presentations that will show how integration can be achieved across disparate disciplines. Opening the afternoon, Steve Bashada from Siemens PLM Software will consider PLM frameworks for comprehensive, integrated modeling and decision support. IBM Rational’s, Brett Hillhouse will take a look at how to manage complexity in automotive product development. Finally, Comet Solution’s Malcolm Panthaki will show how simulation is finding its way into the hands of a much broader set of users.
