Next Generation Design

As product engineering tools continue to morph and expand at speeds human expertise may not be able to endure, Revolutionary design technologies that span beyond industry borders, will prove their necessity for companies looking to take over their markets in the future. What will the future of design technologies and machinery look like? What will your digitalization story be? Where engineering meets tomorrow. In complex construction projects, changes are bound to happen many times before completion. While some changes can be made in isolation, others will impact many other project components. That’s why a general contractor needs a design-sharing system that can inform sub-contractors when an approved change calls for a design change on their end. I’m your host, Jennifer Piper, and today I’m joined by Derek England, NX Product Manager for AEC and BIM at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll help us understand the design review challenge in the AEC industry and the impact it’s having. He’ll also share how NX from Siemens DISW and the digital twins address the challenges faced by the industry. In this episode, you’ll learn how data and design silos impact construction projects and what can be done to eliminate them. You’ll find out about the problems that come with a single-file approach, and you’ll hear how NX improves collaboration and ultimately simplifies the design review processes.
