| | September 20164CIOReviewEditorialVOL 4 · ISSUE 4-10 · SEPTEMBER 28 - 2016PLM can be helpful to anyone, anywhere, no matter where they may work within the manufacturing organization (or extended enterprise). But one challenge for PLM is extending coverage beyond the boundary of the engineering department; the historical roots of PLM solutions go back to mechanical computer-aided design (CAD), design and engineering, and this association has prevented the broader acceptance of PLM software. But times are changing. Several trends and technologies are disrupting the future of product lifecycles: big data, messaging and mobility; Internet of Things; and the explosive growth of electronics and software in manufacturing. Connected devices are going to change a lot in terms of how we can communicate with products, beginning with the ability to get into the real physical environment with customers. IoT data improves insights into customer requirements and monitors product performance in real life. Also, sensors are improving and becoming more affordable and efficient others, product monitoring in real-time opens opportunities to develop new types of maintenance and operation solutions. The omnipotence of smartphones is revolutionizing product lifecycle management these days, and smart products are bringing a new level of complexity. Engineering and manufacturing need to handle new, complex, multidisciplinary problems related to a combination of mechanical, electronic and software pieces. Today software has an interesting impact on manufacturing and product lifecycle software. Bills of material need to cover not only mechanical and electronic parts, but also, software elements. As the complexity of software in manufacturing increases, products will demand deeper integration than ever into the product development process and overall lifecycle. Manufacturing companies will be hard-pressed to keep mechanical, electronics and software teams in silos, as enhanced integration among mechanical, electronic and software elements of product data is going to be in demand.
