Belcan is excited to sponsor the upcoming Global Product Data Interoperability Summit (GPDIS) on September 23-26 in Phoenix AZ.
The theme of GPDIS 2024 stresses the importance of supply chain readiness, closing the gaps on data interoperability, and driving adoption of trusted and authoritative sources of truth. This conference provides an exciting opportunity to benchmark successes and failures to gain the valuable insights needed to accelerate your MBE journey. For our Belcan MBE team, GPDIS allows us to reaffirm the top MBE implementation challenges and ensure we maintain comprehensive services to address those.
If you are attending, visit the Belcan booth and check out our presentations:
ASME MBE Committee and Y14/MBE Harmonization Committee Overview
Presenter: Evan Kessick
The Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) Standards Committee was established in 2018 and chartered to develop standards that provide rules, guidance, and examples for the creation and use of model-based datasets within a Model-Based Enterprise. The demand for implementing model-based initiatives is increasing across the industry, and so is the demand for providing industry standardization and guidance for the exchange of model-based information across the enterprise to harmonize people, processes, and tools. During this discussion, we will review the status of the MBE standards committee and the Y14/MBE Harmonization Committee. It’s important to stay informed and actively engage in standards developments to maximize the return on your model-based investments.
Key takeaways:
- The importance of industry standards
- Overview of the ASME MBE Standards Committee and Y14/MBE Harmonization Committee
- How to actively engage with industry standards
Characteristic Accountability with MBD and QIF
Presenter: Evan Kessick and Mike Werkheiser
The characterization of Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) is a critical process step to ensure product requirements have been satisfied with traceability through verification results. Characterization is typically performed by the part producer with manual techniques downstream of the engineering product definition release. This approach falls well short of enabling the attributes needed in a digital thread like a single source of truth, speed, quality, traceability, interoperability, and consistency. This session will explore how Model Based Definition presents the opportunity for a paradigm shift in characterization that leverages the approaches below to realize the promised benefits of a digital thread.
- Shifting responsibility for characterization from the part producer to the OEM
- Authoring a complete Bill of Characteristics
- Adhering to industry standards
- Including QIF to enable characteristic traceability and interoperability
