If you are undergoing a digital transformation—and who isn’t these days—you may be looking for an IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) platform to help collect and make sense of the vast volumes of data collected from all those connected devices. Because IIoT is relatively new, many platforms don’t have a long track record to […]
When looking for a 3D CAD solution to support your engineering department, the variety of choices can be nearly overwhelming. If your selection focuses purely on features and functions, you will still be left with a mess of feature charts and confusing conclusions. We find that clients who focus on the intangible factors that differentiate […]
Standards for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) integrations are still emerging, leaving many companies confused about which platforms and systems are best for their environments. Companies may be weighing PTC ThingWorx vs Predix from GE, for example, but may not be sure about exactly how to compare the two. To help companies decide which path […]

We are in an age of digital transformation. Advanced technologies like IoT, digital twins, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) are revolutionizing all types of industries. As these technologies become more popular, many organizations turn to cloud computing to run their operations. But, choosing the right platform to provide the performance and […]
Many companies with tight budgets think they can save money by using Microsoft Excel for engineering calculations rather than adding a math tool to their CAD systems. Excel is a versatile tool,and it is in widespread use. But does that ubiquity make it the best tool for engineering productivity? […]
If you’ve been looking for a new CAD solution, you may have discovered how difficult it can be to compare solutions in an “apples to apples” manner, since each vendor packages and names features differently. We know how frustrating this can be, so as experts in CAD solutions, we have done the comparison of Creo […]
If you are considering a new 3D modeling software solution, you are probably considering both Creo and CATIA, two leaders in the field. This comparison of Creo vs CATIA attempts to help you make the right decision by comparing the two products. While we admit to a strong bias in favor of Creo—we are, […]
Calculations are at the heart of the design for any complex product, so the ability to share and reuse critical calculations and IP is vitally important. Sometimes companies believe they can rely on spreadsheets to store calculations but spreadsheet data is hard to maintain and share. […]
Product lifecycle management (PLM) is essential for manufacturing organizations in this day and age. These platforms help manage product development processes and data, which can help organizations optimize workflows and speed up time-to-market. Choosing the right PLM solution is essential for improving business and growing operations. Here we explore the key aspects that […]
