Product Lifecycle Management Services (PLM) Process

Here’s an overview of what the product lifecycle management process looks like at IndiaCADworks:

  • Pre-sales and sales team works with clients to understand project requirements and validate the technical feasibility. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is signed if necessary at this stage.
  • A process document is sent to the Client with an outline of the tasks to be performed.
  • Communicate with clients to gather insights into the technical aspects of the project.
  • ICW’s IT team will work with PLM admin and IT team to strategize how to set up file transfer and local vault system for seamless product data management and concurrent engineering practice.
  • Pilot project or Proof of Concept is executed to make sure all the risks are identified at the early stage.
  • If the client is happy with the outcome, the contract/Service Level Agreement (SLA) will be signed.
  • Once the process document and contract has been approved, relevant multi-disciplinary resources are assigned to tasks within 24 hours as per the need.
  • A project manager will oversee the entire process ensuring results are delivered in their desired outputs, as per the process documentation.
  • Periodically project reports will be shared with the client technical team, and during weekly project call, resolution for the issues will be made if any.

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Strategy in Digital Twin

At IndiaCADworks, we define a digital twin as a comprehensive, dynamic, and cross-disciplinary virtual representation of a physical asset continuously connected for bi-directional data exchange. This virtual model is generated through the seamless integration and ongoing networking of data from multiple stages of the product lifecycle, encompassing design, manufacturing, operation, and decommissioning phases.

A robust, future-proof product lifecycle management services (PLM) strategy is fundamental to the successful deployment of the digital twin. Without an uninterrupted flow of information across the entire product lifecycle, critical feedback loops—such as the integration of real-time operational data into product development—become unfeasible.

Effective product lifecycle management services (PLM) ensure that this data flow is continuous and transparent, facilitating the optimization of product performance and lifecycle management through the digital twin.
