Today, the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving dramatic change. Some see it as an incredible opportunity, while others view it as a dire threat. Either way, companies who embrace the technology are using it to enable broader transformations. They use it to gain insight into product usage, remotely monitor products, and preemptively schedule maintenance calls.
However, the scope of the change is not limited to company operations after product delivery. The products themselves are also undergoing fundamental changes. To leverage the IoT, businesses are creating smart, connected offerings, and products traditionally made of mechanical components are now seeing an influx of sensors, antennas, circuit boards, embedded software, and complex wiring harnesses.

As you look to stay relevant in the 2020s, which technologies will have the most impact on the competitiveness of your products?
How do you design and manufacture products suited for the Fourth Industrial Revolution — the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI)? Hint: You can’t do it with single-point 3D modeling and 2D drawing solutions. Learn how upgrading to an integrated 3D product development solution can help boost productivity, reduce costs, improve quality, foster collaboration and increase innovation.
The Internet of Things (IoT) isn’t an aspiration — it’s a reality. Engineers have strict expectations to meet when it comes to designing smart connected products, and system engineering is a critical skill set in this new age of design. Read the e-book “Engineering Handbook for Designing Smart Connected Devices” to learn how to master this competency.
Traditional tools of the engineering trade don’t accommodate today’s need for cross-team collaboration. From using different mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) applications to working on projects with stakeholders located all over the world, engineers have to overcome various obstacles to get the job done. Learn how technology can help streamline communications and collaboration, ultimately setting up your team for success.
What strategies will your company use to improve, profitability? Is engineering a part of it? If not, it should be.
When competing in today’s global economy, investments in the design process can help companies quickly develop high-quality, innovative products more economically—helping them stand out from the competition. This white paper explores what is driving companies to change CAD tools and what successful companies are looking for when purchasing a new CAD tool.
While 3D CAD technology has revolutionized mechanical design for decades now, its electrical counterpart has languished in 2D. But no longer. Electrical design doesn’t need to be an afterthought when it comes to product development. Learn how electrical and mechanical design can be integrated into a single 3D platform for increased product innovation, faster time to market and lower costs. 
Engineers and designers feel pressured to design products quickly; and managing the transition between the two disciplines can be tough. Now industrial designers can capture ideas without having to think about CAD, while mechanical engineers work simultaneously on the same model. Learn how the SOLIDWORKS suite of software brings product functionality from concept to sales while delivering competitive manufacturing costs.
