ITT Flow Technologies designs highly configurable equipment. But as with many manufacturers, the digital thread breaks as data moves from engineering to programming, production, and the shop floor. Disconnected CAD, CAM, and manufacturing systems reduce traceability and drive manual work-arounds, delays, and rework. This session will show how ITT Flow Technologies is reconnecting design and manufacturing using Inventor, Vault, and Autodesk Fusion software. We'll review a real-world approach to creating a connected data flow across the product lifecycle. And we'll assess digital maturity, identify high-impact opportunities, and build a phased road map that delivers early value while improving collaboration, productivity, quality, and efficiency.

Large Inventor iLogic environments often suffer from duplicated code, fragile 'Call External Rule' workflows, and rules that become difficult to maintain as teams grow. This session will share a production-tested approach for building a centralized iLogic function library that behaves like native Inventor functionality. You will learn how to structure reusable VB-based subroutines, enable IntelliSense across internal and external rules, and apply versioning and governance patterns that allow automation to scale safely. You'll see real-world examples that show how this approach reduced duplication, improved consistency, and accelerated engineer-to-order development in Inventor.
