Free Webinar on How Product Manufacturing Information Can Enable Digital Transformation

This presentation is part of CIMdata’s educational webinar series.

ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 11 October 2023—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces an upcoming free educational webinar, “How Product Manufacturing Information Enables Digital Transformation.” The webinar will take place on Thursday, 9 November 2023, at 11:00 a.m. (EST) and will last for one hour.

Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) is the technology that associates Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and annotations directly to 3D models and has been available for over 20 years. During this time, it has evolved from propriety data used within a single solution provider’s tools to a STEP standard with cross-solution interoperability. In this webinar, CIMdata will cover the basics of PMI, how it fits into a comprehensive PLM strategy, some common PMI use cases, and describe a project that leverages PMI as part of a digital transformation or product development process improvement program.

Attendees at this webinar will:

• Learn what PMI is.
• Learn how PMI can be applied.
• Gain an understanding of the value of PMI by applying use cases.
• Learn what is required to get PMI deployed and functioning properly within an organization.
• Learn how to incorporate PMI into a digital transformation program.
• Learn how to leverage PMI to shorten time-to-market and improve data and product quality.

According to Tom Gill, CIMdata’s Practice Manager for PLM Enterprise Value and Integration and the host for this webinar, “PMI is a proven foundational technology that enables model-based enterprise strategy and positively impacts time-to-market and product quality when properly implemented. While success stories exist, few companies have fully embraced PMI and incorporated it into their processes. The process changes enabled by a robust implementation of PMI should be on every PLM roadmap.”

Tom Gill has 35 years of experience applying computer-based solutions to engineering and manufacturing. Before joining CIMdata, he worked as an independent PLM consultant after spending more than 20 years at high-volume manufacturing companies. He has worked in numerous industries, including fabrication & assembly, food & beverage, defense, chemical, and medical devices. He has executed PLM strategy projects, solution evaluation and selection projects, deployment planning, and training development for industrial clients.

This webinar will help anyone responsible for defining and managing product information-related business processes, such as directors and managers within product development, manufacturing, and service. It will also interest PLM solution provider employees responsible for sales, marketing, and consulting.
