Digital product development is the process in which products are conceived, designed and implemented using digital technologies. This includes brainstorming, optimal use of the CAD system, suitable PDM/PLM processes, 3D visualizations and renderings as well as the construction of prototypes.
The approach enables faster time-to-market and continuous adaptation to customer needs through agile development methods. Digital product development is particularly important for mechanical engineering today. But related industries, such as plant engineering, also benefit from digital processes and tools.
Cideon supports you with software, intelligent solutions and services for digital product development. The goal: the realization and use of a digital twin of your plant, machine or complete production.
In digital product development, the focus is on challenges such as rapid technological development, market uncertainties and complex requirements. Flexibility and innovation management are key to sustainable success.
Digital product development offers decisive advantages for innovation, adaptability and time to market thanks to an agile approach, efficient collaboration and fast iterations.
Based on an individual and holistic view of your challenges, Cideon offers various approaches and solutions to support you in the digitalization of your product development.
Digital product development encompasses the holistic digital mapping of the product development process, from the idea to the prototype. This includes the use of CAD and PDM/PLM software solutions as well as networked processes.
Cideon offers support through software, intelligent solutions and services for digital product development. The aim is to realize and use a digital twin of your plant, machine or production.
Challenges in digital product development include rapid technological development, market uncertainties and complex requirements. Flexibility and innovation management are crucial for sustainable success.
Digitization enables the early display of modification potentials for troubleshooting, which allows optimization of digital prototypes before the start of production.
Digital product development offers decisive advantages, including accelerated time-to-market, efficient collaboration, cost reduction through virtual prototypes and continuous improvement through agile methods.
Thanks to automated processes, rapid iterations and virtual prototypes, digital product development shortens the development cycle, enables rapid adjustments to market requirements and improves time-to-market.
Digital product development enables real-time communication, file sharing and the use of project management tools. This enables cross-location teams to work together more efficiently.
Virtual prototypes are more cost-effective than physical models because they reduce material costs, shorten development times and errors can be rectified more quickly and digitally.
Digital product development integrates agile methods such as Scrum or Kanban, which enables flexible project management, continuous improvements, faster adjustments to customer requirements and an iterative approach.
Cideon's interface solutions enable reliable and automated data exchange between CAD applications and ERP, PDM and PLM systems. Duplicates and errors when entering data are eliminated. We support you in selecting the right interfaces for your system landscape and your requirements. Simply get in touch with us!
Cideon Conify consistently links data from the sales and engineering phases to automatically provide PDM-compliant MCAD and ECAD data of the configured product. This is the basis for the subsequent engineering-to-order and the creation of ERP-specific parts lists, work plans, circuit diagrams and production processes according to customer requirements, so that individual products can be created quickly and in accordance with specifications.
Main advantages:
Cideon Conify is the ideal combination of CONnection and CONfiguration!
