QuadConnect® - Digital Data Thread - Foundation for Digital Transformation

Transportation Industry OEMs and their suppliers are witnessing an unprecedented pace of change, moving rapidly to Electrification, Autonomous, Shared and Connected platforms globally and Organisations are investing heavily in Digital Technologies driving Digital Transformation Initiatives across the value chain not only to transform the operating model of a company, driving productivity and cost savings through automation but also to:

Saying this, OEMs and Suppliers are under unrelenting pressure to design innovative, alluring products with superior driving performance, reliability and bring them to market faster than the competition. Also, OEMs need to keep pace with new tech-led, data-rich, market relevant electric vehicle manufacturers, leaping from technology-centric product development to customer-centric innovation.With Digital-Savvy customers, products are getting more complex and technology continues to grow more complex. In your Digital transformation journey, it is extremely critical to have a Digital Foundation via Digital Technology Integration across key enterprise applications i.e. wiring end to end processes of value chain.

Weaving a Digital Data Thread throughout all phases of a product’s lifecycle, covering entire product development value chain acts as a “Digital Foundation Layer” for any organization’s Digital Transformation Journey! For example, 3D CAD Data and BOM (Bill of materials) are super critical Data points, we can say the heart of the product development process. It’s very important to understand where (in which PD phase) what data gets generated, who are the authors and who are consumers of the data at the same time, which IT applications (Digital) come in and how they are connected to have a single source of information across the PD value chain to enable Visibility, Connectivity and Traceability principles.
