In complex construction projects, changes are bound to happen many times before completion. While some changes can be made in isolation, others will impact many other project components. That’s why a general contractor needs a design-sharing system that can inform sub-contractors when an approved change calls for a design change on their end. I’m your host, Jennifer Piper, and today I’m joined by Derek England, NX Product Manager for AEC and BIM at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll help us understand the design review challenge in the AEC industry and the impact it's having. He’ll also share how NX from Siemens DISW and the digital twins address the challenges faced by the industry. In this episode, you’ll learn how data and design silos impact construction projects and what can be done to eliminate them. You’ll find out about the problems that come with a single-file approach, and you’ll hear how NX improves collaboration and ultimately simplifies the design review processes. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: The purpose of a design review (03:58) Why it isn't easy to collaborate and coordinate design reviews (05:27) How NX simplifies design reviews (08:01) The role of the digital twin in design reviews (10:57) How a single-file approach hinders collaboration (11:35) How the BIM collaboration space might look like in the next five years (16:24) Connect with Derek England: LinkedIn Siemens Connect with Jennifer Piper: LinkedIn
Technology has drastically transformed how construction is undertaken from the planning to the building stages. Today, you can see how a house will look in 3D and even create different design variations before its built. However, the cost of construction and the efficiency of the process hasn’t changed much with the introduction of such sophisticated technologies. I’m your host, Jennifer Piper, and today I’m joined by Derek England, NX Product Manager for AEC and BIM at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll help understand the current trends in the AEC industry and the impact they are having. He’ll also help us understand how NX from DISW addresses the challenges faced by the industry. In this episode, you’ll learn why the construction industry lags in per-person productivity improvement. You’ll also learn about some of the latest technologies introduced in the AEC industry and the gaps they are expected to fill. Additionally, you’ll hear about how the digital twin is applied in the AEC industry. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: Challenges facing the construction industry (02:47) Latest innovations in the construction industry (03:25) How Metaverse impacts the construction industry (04:55) Best practices that the construction industry can learn from other industries (09:39) A use case that makes NX from DISW stand out (17:17) How integrated multi-discipline Building Information Modeling (BIM) works with the digital twin (21:53) Connect with Derek England: LinkedIn Siemens Connect with Jennifer Piper: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

The pandemic presented unique challenges that no organization could have foreseen and prepared for. One of the main challenges was continuing with normal business activities with zero or limited employees in the business premises. By leveraging cloud solutions that enable employees to work remotely, many companies were able to increase their overall productivity and security without any increase in operations costs. I’m your host, Jennifer Piper, and today I’m joined by Boris Raskin, Product Manager at Siemens for NX Cloud Products. And, Gauhar Junnarkar, Product Manager in Microsoft Azure High-Performance Computing. They’ll help us understand the cloudification trend and how Siemens NX has leveraged it. In this episode, you’ll learn about Siemens NX on Microsoft Azure and the benefits that it offers over the desktop application. You’ll also learn about the cloudification trend and the challenges that transitioning companies are facing. Additionally, you’ll hear about what the future holds for cloud services and cloud-native applications. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: Why engineering and manufacturing companies transitioning their operations to the cloud (02:21) The challenges that companies looking to transition to the cloud are facing (04:29) The benefits of transitioning to the cloud (06:15) Why the cloud solution performs better than on-premise solution (08:56) The benefits of having Siemens NX on Microsoft Azure (15:09) How Siemens NX on Azure leverages the continuous release features (17:39) How the cloud will evolve in the future (19:22) Resources Configure and deploy Siemens NX via a personal Azure Virtual Desktop Connect with Boris Raskin: LinkedIn Connect with Gauhar Junnarkar: LinkedIn Connect with Jennifer Piper: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

Specialization was a concept that was reserved for the most sensitive industries, such as the medical industry. However, technological advancement and the rise of specialized software platforms have led to a need for specialization in other areas such as the product design field. This has also been motivated by the need to create the most compelling and accurate design for marketing or testing purposes. I’m your host, Jennifer Piper, and today I’m joined by Magnus Skogsfjord, a freelance designer who’s worked with prominent brands such as CISCO. He’s used Siemens NX for several years and will be sharing his experience with the design software. He’ll also be sharing with us what his favorite features are and where he feels there is a need for improvement. In this episode, you’ll learn about the current trends in the CAD and mechanical design field. You’ll also learn about the challenges faced by designers as well as companies as they seek to improve the quality of their designs. Lastly, we’ll touch on what the future holds for the product design field and what it’ll take to get there. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: Current trends in mechanical design and product visualization (03:54) The increased need of specialization in particular segments (06:21) The cause of increased use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) (10:23) Design challenges that companies are facing and how technology is addressing them (13:54) What the future holds for computer-aided design (CAD) and mechanical design (16:28) How COVID-19 changed the perspective of working from an office.
