CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of a white paper focused on Siemens Digital Industries Software’s approach to improving the A&D certification process.
Aerospace and defense companies are under extreme pressure to deliver safe products while meeting cost and schedule targets. The growing complexity of products makes certification of type, production, and airworthiness difficult to achieve without new processes and enabling technology.
Improvements in simulation technology and processes are enabling virtual testing to replace some physical testing. The complexity of products, especially with growing electronics and software content, makes certification more difficult due to the growing number of use cases that need to be verified and activity that need to be coordinated. Mr. Tom Gill, CIMdata Senior Consultant and PLM Enterprise Value and Integration Program Manager, noted “The digital thread and digital twin approaches enabled by Siemens’ solutions are helping A&D companies make certification processes predictable and achievable. The Integrated Program Planning & Execution (IPP&E) ties together project management, product data, including BOMs and CAD data, and other product-related information including certification data ensuring all activities get completed on time and within budget.”
