PLM Analytics is designed to understand the intricacies of product data. It can quickly roll up values through bills of material and CAD product structures to show target values versus actuals. This information can be shared in dashboards, but also directly in the context of the product. For example, engineers can look at cost or weight trends visually in a three-dimensional product mockup to show convergence on targets during the design cycle. PLM Analytics also identifies missing data and makes it clear which data is calculated versus declared to understand how much confidence engineers should have in the information. Further, the information isn’t simply a snapshot in time. By connecting all data within one unified platform and analyzing it, companies can easily uncover trends, hidden correlations, and relationships in product and program data, then interpret and act on them immediately to drive higher performance. |
