CIE-27-1 – INDUSTRY PANEL
Collaborative Engineering During the Age of Digitalization?
Monday, August 7
9:10am–10:50am
Room 4 additive manufacturing for production part are just a few examples. These
This industry session focuses on transformative changes to engineering
practice resulting from disruptive technology and evolving business needs.
For example, from a technology perspective, developments in 3D printing
and internet of things are motivating manufacturers to invest in new
product design approaches. The new technologies both expand and
change engineering priorities needed to ensure structural integrity, product
reliability, and greater flexibility to deliver more individualized products.
From a business perspective, a growing number of stringent yet varied
regulations across global markets increase the demand for greater
traceability through digital threads. The greater demand for individualized
products heightens the need for systems-centric approaches to designing
easily configurable products from product platforms. Increasingly,
engineers will also need to engage in engineering for agile manufacturing,
delivering factory layouts and equipment designs that enable rapidly
reconfiguring processes and equipment layouts to deliver more products in
smaller batches. The trend towards more individualized manufacturing and
service of products further heightens the need for digital threads to record
and trace changes. There is also growing interest high fidelity computer
models of products throughout their service life called digital twins
Manufacturers intent for digital twins to document product changes and
support decision making throughout product lifecycles.

The Impact of Digitalization on Engineering and Design Priorities
Digitalization is compelling new product development leaders to rethink
priorities for technologies to adopt and challenging them to change
multiple facets of engineering organizations, practices, processes. This
presentation summarizes findings from hundreds of manufacturers across
more than ten industries and offers recommendations to navigate the
changing engineering landscape.

Metrology in the Age of Digitization of Manufacturing
As manufacturing is getting digitized, the demand for measurements in
manufacturing has grown in scope and complexity. The growth of Internet
of Things (IoT) makes it easier to collect and communicate data, but
challenges remain in ensuring the quality of such data and in our ability to
process that data. In this talk I will outline some of the metrology problems
NIST tackling with industry, with particular focus on computational
coordinate metrology.

The Impact of Physical/Digital Convergence on Engineering
As New technologies are speeding the convergence of the physical and
digital worlds creating a broad array of new possibilities and challenges for
engineers and their design tools. The proliferation of IoT connected
products, democratization of augmented and virtual reality, and the rise of
digital/physical boundary-crossing technologies are already changing our
Computer-Aided Design and Product Lifecycle Mnagement tools, as well as
how engineering, manufacturing and service professionals work with data.
This presentation will explore the current and future impacts as these
boundary-crossing technologies continue to gain momentum in
organizations around the world.

Influence of Emerging Trends on Technology Development for Vehicle
Interior Environments
In a rapidly changing automotive market influenced by societal and
technological trends, an OEM’s ability to connect with customers and
deliver holistic experiences that meet their needs is essential. Systems
engineering, interdependency linkages and the integration of customer
feedback throughout a technology’s development cycle is required to
effectively bring early concepts and ideas to implementation in Ford
vehicles. The acceleration of customer driven technologies must still be
balanced with the stringent requirements auto manufacturers face for
performance, cost, weight, regulations and environmental impact. This talk
will focus on several examples within Ford Research that highlight how the
customer mind-set and emerging trends is changing the development
process of novel materials and interior technologies.
CIE-28-1 – PANEL
From a Researcher/Technology Developer to an Advanced Technology
Visionary/Facilitator – A Perspective
Monday, August 7
2:00pm–3:40pm
Room 3
In this session panelists from government, academia, and industry will
share their career experiences about how they progressed from individual
researchers to lab directors and respected research leaders who select
research areas for their organizations to pursue and work to transition
research results to develop new technologies and products. Panelists will
also discuss their current research and how it is being used to facilitate the
advancement of the current state of the art in their individual fields.
