Engineering Matters

SHORT: Recycling, Without Waste

05 Dec 2023

Description

It can seem, at times, as if we are drowning in a sea of waste, a great ocean of paper and tin, glass and plastic, all mixed together, and resistant to recycling and re-use. AMP Robotics build systems that cut through this complexity. Trained using millions upon millions of images, their robots can identify, pick, and sort individual waste items, splitting them into streams that can then be recycled. But while their work is helping reduce the world’s waste problems, they are creating their own form of waste. It is not physical waste that plagues them, but wasted time, resources, and effort, caused by legacy systems in their engineering, manufacturing and procurement departments. These make it harder to track changes to designs, to source materials efficiently, and to ensure that finished goods leave the factory with all the documentation they need. To sort though that operational waste, they turned to Arena, a cloud-based product lifecycle management (PLM) tool, from PTC, and solutions architect Scott Moisan. In this short episode, Scott joins us to explain the challenges manufacturers face when using legacy systems, and how PLM systems can streamline their processes, from the engineer’s first idea in CAD, all the way through to a finished good leaving the factory gate. Partner With over 1,400 customers around the world, Arena is designed to help modern manufacturers speed product development and get innovative products to market fast. With Arena’s product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) solutions, manufacturers can confidently create, control, and collaborate anytime and anywhere.  Guest Scott Moisan, Senior Solutions Architect, Arena Resources  AMP Arena case study Improving design engineering efficiency with ArenaThe post SHORT: Recycling, Without Waste first appeared on Engineering Matters.
