NASA's journey to innovation
“A digital twin allows us to investigate anomalies, simulate scenarios, and forecast outcomes faster than real time,” Terry explains. “This approach reduces risk, cost, and time, while maintaining precision.”
Safety is paramount in human spaceflight. “Modern digital engineering lets us run high-resolution simulations to assess risk and enhance safety margins,” says Terry. The lessons learned from past accidents deeply inform NASA’s commitment to protecting astronauts and ensuring mission success.
Medtronic's agile approach to regulatory compliance
Sarb Singh-Kaur, Director of Patient Care Software at Medtronic, emphasized the importance of accurately capturing customer needs and tracking them through product development. Singh-Kaur stated, “Here are the things we have been able to accomplish: We have completely reshaped our processes and have used Codebeamer as the instrument to drive that change. We were up and running in less than 30 days. We have over 250 active users already."
This transition enabled Medtronic to streamline processes, improve transparency, and maintain regulatory compliance.
ZF breaks down silos
What ZF needed most was a single, authoritative source of truth—a place where every team member could go to share or access any data that is relevant to the system they’re building. By implementing Windchill, ZF revolutionized its operations.
Cummins optimizes new product designs to prioritize sustainability
With sustainability in mind, Cummins set out to rethink their design process. About 70% of an item’s lifecycle CO2 footprint is set during its design, meaning that if Cummins wants to minimize a product’s environmental impact, it needs to be done during the design phase. Given that Cummins is centered on optimization on all fronts as part of PLANET 2050, focusing on the design phase can yield rewards ranging from lowering costs to environmental benefit.
The right design tools cannot guarantee innovation, but they can help create circumstances where it is more likely to occur. That’s why Cummins is using Creo, a leading 3D computer-aided design (CAD) tool trusted by designers and engineers around the globe.
“We have the technology to make a difference—and we do it just because it’s the right thing to do,” David Genter, Director of Design Engineering at Cummins
