👀 Great to see Makersite featured heavily in Jessica Zimmer's new piece for engineering.com, covering the Product Lifecycle Intelligence (PLI) value proposition and our use of digital twin technology to optimize cost and sustainability metrics. 🖋 As the article notes: 🛠 "PLI is designed to integrate with CAD and PLM tools to easily extract data. With PLI, an engineer can create multiple digital twins and distinguish them by the form of the product and changes in the materials that compose the product. This allows an engineer to visualize, compare and share different versions of the product. 🖥 PLI delves deep into its data set by providing an explanation of the supply chain dynamics to create a product, a breakdown of the product’s estimated costs and visualizations of the product’s lifecycle assessment. This last step shows the carbon footprint of the product from its existence to its disposal. The Makersite approach looks at the product’s end-of-life considerations and assesses supply chain risks like conflicts. 💡 PLI has the capability to provide so much information that at certain points it begins to display data in a grid. This allows the user to see that obtaining a specific element requires the expenditure of a certain amount of energy and the energy expended will come from a certain source." 👇 For more detail, read the article in full at the link below: https://lnkd.in/e8zZ7Qhw #PLM #Engineering #LCA #PLI #ProductLifecycleIntelligence
