We are witnessing a revolutionary overhaul of technological\nprogressions in the landscape of industrial machinery in manufacturing. It is a\nchallenging endeavor to design, validate and manage modern manufacturing and\nassembly operations to achieve high-quality while optimizing costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our\nsecond podcast, of this series on Advanced Machine Engineering, we are learning\nhow machine manufacturers are leveraging multi-disciplinary design to make\ntheir manufacturing more efficient. We investigate a multi-disciplinary\ncollaboration for machine builders and examine more thoroughly the machine\ndesign process and its benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are\njoined again by our special guest and engineering expert, Bill Davis, Director of Industrial Machinery and Heavy\nEquipment Solutions at Siemens Digital Industry Software<\/em>. His 30 years of\nexperience in engineering and operations management includes more than 20 years\nin industrial machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this second podcast we focus on multi-disciplinary\ndesign, one of the key differentiators of advanced machine engineering, which\nalso includes virtual machine simulation, and commissioning and\nmulti-disciplinary BOM and configuration management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-disciplinary design – where today meets tomorrow<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In defining\nmulti-disciplinary design, we assess the complexities of building a machine, including\nengineering the design and manufacturing. Most companies focus on CAD and\nmanufacturing parts within tolerance for everything to function mechanically,\nand the mechanical arrangement and assembly relates to the machine. It’s a\nmechanical piece of equipment, like an auto or an airplane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, all mechanics and motors now relate to software, driven by PLC codes. There\u2019s a method for blending capabilities and skillsets in a collaborative environment that pays dividends with a high-quality output of the machine design. It\u2019s becoming an art form as an integrated solution. So, there’s much harmony in the multi-disciplinary design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
