In this edition: january-march 2020 Technology CAD-PLM Design by data Mike Farish looks at two examples of how increasingly sophisticated data management is transforming manufacturing outcomes While the very beginning of the process that leads from initial design concept to vehicles rolling off a production line may still be pencil sketches on paper, the trail very quickly becomes digital as design information is embodied in a 3D computer aided design (CAD) modelling system. This data then feeds into every
