Many manufacturing companies have design engineering teams that are already "digitally mature." However, this is just a small part of the business when we consider every other function in the process of manufacturing parts. Consider that 70% of projects are still over budget or late, and up to 40% of engineering time is spent looking for the right files or information. This class will look at how customers are using tools—such as FlexSim, Autodesk Fusion Manage Extension, and Autodesk Fusion Operations—connected together to break down silos between departments, have change control over manufacturing BOMs and process definitions, and predict production issues before they arise. We will show how accurate simulation models based on real-world data can ensure projects remain on time and budget. And we’ll show how a connected data platform and change management platform can ensure data is well connected, reducing the time spent finding the right data.

Modern consumer products and industrial machines are made up of hundreds or thousands of components to form large assemblies. These components could be machined, 3D printed, molded, electrical, electronic, or off-the-shelf items using various manufacturing and design processes. Effectively managing these assemblies can be a real challenge for companies with multidisciplinary teams that simultaneously contribute to the project from all Autodesk Fusion 360 workspaces. This technical instruction will provide attendees with techniques and methods to improve their development processes when creating large assemblies. Such methods will include: simplifying into subassemblies, using top-down or bottom-up modeling where appropriate, using the manage extension for data traceability, and simplifying geometry with configurations to reduce the load on the PC. You will learn new and improved ways to optimize your product development and collaborative processes.

By 2027, every manufacturer selling into the European market will be required to provide a Digital Product Passport (DPP) and most are not ready. This session will show how Autodesk Fusion Manage software can close that gap, while also solving a longer-standing problem: disconnected data between process plant design and PLM. You'll see how equipment data from AutoCAD Plant 3D projects on Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) can automatically populate Fusion Manage BOMs eliminating manual handoffs between plant design and PLM. And you'll see how that same structure can generate EU-compliant DPPs on demand, without duplicate data entry connecting project context from Autodesk Forma with product lifecycle data where it belongs. Both extensions are built on Autodesk Platform Services APIs and demonstrated live.

CAD data is the most important intellectual property that a manufacturer has. Autodesk offers products that create, manage, and enrich this data. AutoCAD, Inventor, and Autodesk Fusion 360 software create this data while Vault, Fusion 360 Manage Extension, and Upchain help manage it. The cloud-based Fusion 360 and Autodesk Forma platforms facilitate collaboration within the field, while Prodsmart helps collaboration within production. Simultaneously, aspects of this data need to be shared with other enterprise systems like ERP. Ultimately, all these systems must be able to share aspects of this data throughout the lifecycle of a manufacturer's products. We'll demonstrate, via examples of Autodesk customer projects, how technologies such as Autodesk Platform Services and other third-party technologies make it possible to share this important data between these systems rather than leaving it siloed in different systems.

A typical manufacturing company is very digitally mature in the design office. However, that maturity reduces as we move down toward production. The manufacturing process can easily become costly and inefficient due to the use of software or paper-based methods that do not fit the goals of collaboration, traceability, accountability, reporting, and so on. As a result of this, customers can lose a lot of time finding the correct data at the correct time, ensuring that the correct versions of files are in use, understanding what past decisions were made and why, reworking parts to correct mistakes, and reworking scrapped parts. This talk will look at how customers can use Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage Extension and Prodsmart together with Vault software in order to create a digitally connected platform for process and data management as well as the scheduling of jobs and resources on the shop floor. We will also look at how this then enables better change control processes around the process configuration.
