Managing both the product lifecycle and the manufacturing execution system is crucial for businesses looking to streamline their operations and improve overall efficiency. Fusion Manage and Fusion Operations, two powerful tools from Autodesk, allow businesses to do just that. In this session, we will explore how integrating Fusion Manage (a product lifecycle management tool) and Fusion Operations (a manufacturing execution system) can provide a unified view of the product lifecycle and manufacturing processes. We will delve into how the integration of these two platforms can facilitate seamless data exchange, enhance real-time visibility, and improve decision-making. We will explore meaningful connections between these systems such as BOM and operations management and machine lifecycle management.

Learn how generative AI can revolutionize product engineering and lifecycle management. This session will focus on key challenges in the manufacturing product lifecycle, such as the reliance on 2D drawings and PDFs, the time-consuming nature of model creation and analysis, and the complexity of assembly modeling. With a focus on practical applications, we'll discuss how generative AI can address these challenges by transforming engineering workflows and enhancing efficiency. And we'll look at the impact that generative AI (powered on Amazon Bedrock) has on the manufacturing lifecycle. We'll explore Autodesk Fusion 360 software, and we'll showcase the potential of integrating a chatbot or plug-in within Fusion 360 that can assist designers in rapidly building models and accelerating the design process.

Learn how to increase efficiency in your development process by implementing Vault software and Fusion Lifecycle software. In this class, you will hear about the journey Reynaers Aluminium took to move from its old product data management (PDM) system to a fully integrated solution: CAD, PDM, PLM (product lifecycle management), and enterprise resource planning (ERP). You will learn about the how and why behind our architecture and the lessons learned during implementation. Get insight into the place PDM and PLM have in our organization today, how they are connected with other core databases, and what our further digitalization road map looks like. Also discover how Fusion Lifecycle offers article lifecycle management as well as full project management by streamlining our NPI (new product introduction) flow. All project phases are implemented into Fusion Lifecyle, including a customized project management tab to enable real project planning. Integrating Fusion Lifecycle with Vault creates one common platform, resulting in an efficient way of collaboration as well as a single source of truth across the company.

This class covers the basic concepts of bill of materials (BOM) management with the Autodesk PLM 360 product lifecycle management cloud service. The class demonstrates what is possible out of the cloud and focuses on user interaction with the system.

Effective change management is critical to deliver your products and projects on time, with the right quality and within budget. Throughout the product lifecycle many changes can happen. Change management isn't just for engineering and manufacturing but also other stakeholders such as suppliers, service, and so on. In this class you will see how Fusion Lifecycle software can help you take control of change by offering a collaborative environment where product changes are fully defined, reviewed, approved, and implemented. We will show you the out-of-the-box workflows and see how we can easily extend them to respond to change requests in time, quickly discover and assess the scope of changes, learn the complete change history log, and manage team activities in context of your change activities.

Companies often have multiple tools for supporting their product lifecycle management (PLM) and related business processes. This situation is usually because of the limitations of individual systems and management of PLM-related projects in functional silos. Autodesk PLM 360 cloud-based product lifecycle management provides capabilities that can address most of the PLM business process needs. However, companies still need to build cross-functional consensus to make Autodesk PLM 360 the platform for their PLM processes. This class will describe how to achieve that objective.

Vault product data management (PDM) software helps designers and engineers better organize design data, enhance documentation management, and streamline revision processes of their product data. Product data is not exclusively used by development teams, but should also be available outside the engineering department. On the other hand, the engineers require data from upstream processes such as sales orders and specifications. And that's where a product lifecycle management (PLM) system like Fusion Lifecycle software comes into the play. Fusion Lifecycle serves as a companywide information source for activities before, during, and after development actions, supported by automated processes. In this class, we will have a look at how both worlds (PDM and PLM) can be tied together to streamline the workflows throughout the whole product development cycle.

This class covers change management with Autodesk PLM 360 cloud-based product lifecycle management solution. We examine how PLM 360 routes, notifies, and provides your company with the tools needed for effective change management from the initial change request to the final stage of change.

Fusion Lifecycle software can be deployed faster than any other PLM (product lifecycle management) tool on the market. This was tested for a company that wanted to take its ventilator project to production in the shortest time possible due to the COVID-19 ventilator shortage. A prototype of the ventilator was completed using Fusion 360 software. Now it is time to take it into mass production using Items and BOMs, ECO, and NPI Workspace of Fusion Lifecycle.
