Abstract:

Industries with multiple activities and domains are invariably successful when they have a single source of truth. However, most corporates have disparate systems, but when these disparate systems are integrated well via digital transformation initiatives, success is inevitable. It is critical to communicate product designs throughout organizations where the electrical and mechanical engineers are often hundreds or thousands of miles apart. Unfortunately, sharing and aligning the overwhelming number of designs can be unmanageable, making this simple task risky to any collaborative project.

This abstract emphasizes the productivity improvements gained with the Zuken E3S-Teamcenter – Creo -E3S end-to-end process for the data exchange for cable harness design. There was no Integration between E3s (Electrical CAD) TeamCenter (PLM) & Creo (Mechanical CAD), as Teamcenter is the master of the design community. For completing the cable harness design, the manual process was complex and led to Productivity & design data quality issues. Hence the business need was to automate and standardize the cable harness design process between E3s (Electrical CAD) Teamcenter (PLM) & Creo (Mechanical 3D system) which

• Eliminates manual data exchange between E3s and Creo, thereby reducing manual errors
• Improve MCAD/ECAD harness design efficiency and reduce design cycle time
• Improve MCAD/ECAD design accuracy and drawing quality

Instructor: Kazuhiro Kariya, Chief Technical Officer,  Zuken

Abstract: 

Join Zuken’s Chief Technical Officer for his Zuken Innovation World keynote titled “Zuken’s Engineering Vision and Roadmap.” Product complexity is growing and challenging current design methodologies. Many technology words appear for the new “Engineering Methodologies” like MBSE, MBD, Digital Twin, Digital Thread, Multi-Domain Analysis, and etc.. We will explain how Zuken will take these new methodologies into the E/E design and manufacturing process and how Zuken will bring the design and manufacturing process innovation to the customer. With GENESYS in the product lineup, Zuken has the building blocks for an E/E Digital Engineering platform. Zuken has embraced Digital Engineering as the way forward with innovation and a commitment to sustainability. Session takeaways include Zuken’s vision for Digital Engineering and the realization of that vision.

June 7, 9:00 AM – Intermediate

Abstract: 

Lockheed Martin faced challenges managing design data to meet product requirements and schedules. This required Engineering Data Management (EDM) systems with integration into Windchill (PLM) enterprise systems. The requirements of design data management are different between EDM and PLM. An EDM system provides discipline-specific functions and data granularity to match the needs of engineering. Using PTC’s REST API, design data is managed throughout the product lifecycle. This presentation will demonstrate how Lockheed Martin utilized Zuken’s DS-2 for work in progress engineering data management and Windchill REST API interface features to streamline their electronic and electrical design processes and integrate them into the enterprise eco-system.

June 7, 10:00 AM – Advanced

Abstract: 

This session will explore a roadmap for the development of a AI-based planner for PCB designs. It will automatically place and route designs by considering the overall layout and the functionality blocks within each design. Its human-like approach will be based on a plan that it generates from the functionality blocks of components and signals, and it will adaptively identify and reuse these blocks when possible. The machine learning engine will try different techniques to learn for itself the best way to design a PCB, increasing its knowledge and experience over time.

Abstract:

Document-based approaches silo engineering disciplines. One of the largest schedule setbacks is between preliminary design and document release. During this time, architecture has changed the interfaces and cable designs are now obsolete. How do we solve this? The answer is the Digital Thread. But how exactly? This presentation will take in a depth look at electronics architecture and how we can effectively collaborate between system architects and cable designers. We will cover how we construct our Digital Thread Architecture so that we can optimize the solution, the process, and how we can save time between preliminary design and document release.

Abstract:

When modeling systems, most developers focus on system components such as radios, sensors, network devices, and electrical assemblies that are clearly distinguishable from other system components. Often, these are called Line Replaceable Units (LRU). Missing from this type of modeling is a focus on cable assemblies, or, how these system components are wired together.

This presentation shows how SysML can be used to design an A-Kit cable assembly that supports verification by various techniques such as Velocity Scripts and Generic Tables; and validation against performance requirements.

Abstract: 

Systems Engineering, delivering value into the product design process.

As product complexity increases, the need for Systems Engineering becomes more important, as does the need for communication between System and Hardware Engineering. As we try to deliver more sophisticated and advanced products while managing design timescales and costs to deliver a successful product to market, involving all stakeholders is vital to deliver profitable projects to market in the required timescales. The session will share the value and need for Model-Based Systems Engineering, the communication of information with the hardware engineering and production teams

MBSE is starting to win the hearts and minds of engineering, and the session will consider when what and how to use MBSE information to drive the product design from Requirements through implementation to product delivery.
