 Manufacturers are constantly striving to reduce the “Cost of Quality” (CoQ) associated with the design and manufacturing of their products. This cost is reflected in the expenses of redesigning existing parts, scrap and rework, expedited shipping, warranties, and even the company’s reputation. According to analysts and industry groups, these expenses can represent profit leakage from 3 to 10 percent of a company’s annual revenues.

In Memory of a Colleague and Friend, Dick Bourke (1931 - 2023)

It's with great sadness to report that my dear friend and colleague, Dick Bourke, passed away last week, Thursday, May 18, 2023.  He had just turned 92 on May 8th. Dick and I literally had lunch just a week prior.  Upon seeing him already seated at the restaurant and approaching him, I asked Dick how he was doing.  He cheerfully replied, “I’m feeling frisky."  That was such a signature Dick reply.  He was always upbeat, enthusiastic, energetic, kind, humble, and non-judgmental.  I never heard him say a negative thing about anyone.

How is Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage Integrated with Upchain?

The industry is moving towards a software-as-a-service (SaaS) infrastructure.  Fusion 360 Manage, Upchain and the core of PLMConnect, Nexus, are all SaaS solutions leveraging REST APIs. The benefit of course is that updates occur in the background and are non-disruptive to the existing processes.  And by combining abstraction of the various processes to the middleware, no-code integrations can be established.  PLMConnect truly embraces this next-generation approach to connectivity and we’re thrilled to be providing a solution that seamlessly connects Fusion 360 Manage with Upchain resulting in a best in class PLM offering!
