Did you know that in some very large organisations E-Bom/M-Bom reconciliation is managed up to C-level? 😮 Why? Because of a change in paradigm on the market, time to market is critical, and data available to make happen stuck in some 🤐 Excel sheets or monolith databases (you can call it PLM/ERP if you want)! Let's take the example of automotive electrification. It’s what keeps amazing teams awaken at night (coucou David 😉), it’s the industry's key to survival. Yet, as massive as this shift seems, the cold reality is not all players will thrive. Many might even stumble and lose their market position. Why? The challenge isn’t only about replacing combustion engines with electric motors. It’s about redesigning entire ecosystems, adapting to new regulations, managing evolving supply chains, and touching every facet of operations. But here’s the thing: the companies that can synchronize their product design with manufacturing, that can seamlessly integrate R&D with production, are the ones who'll come out on top! 😮 Some, like #Tesla, manage design and industrialise products much faster. But what’s their secret? It’s not just about having a visionary at the helm, nor is it just about financial muscle. They built an efficient product data platform. This seemingly unassuming technology has given them unparalleled insights and unprecedented speed. It’s bridging the traditional silos of engineering and manufacturing. Here’s what such a platform achieves: 🔍 Clarity in Complexity: Automotive product development isn’t linear. From initial designs to the assembly line, multiple changes occur. A unified platform tracks these, ensuring everyone is on the same page. 🚀 Rapid Prototyping: In the electric transition, time is of the essence. Efficient data management means quicker prototyping, testing, and iterating. 🖇 Optimized Supply Chains: Electrification demands new components, new suppliers. A solid product data platform ensures supply chains are agile, responsive, and resilient.If this feels daunting, here’s the good news. Companies no longer have to build such platforms from scratch, reinventing the wheel. Cognyx is not just a tool, it’s a game-changer, especially crafted for the challenges of electrification or similar massive shifts where velocity is key and data siloed. In just 8 to 12 weeks, Cognyx can empower manufacturers with the same capabilities that industry leaders boast. Let's implement together better, faster engineering.
