What did we learn ?
- STEP AP242 is :
- A backbone for many capabilities
- Enabling digital continuity for all type of companies with their partners in design and manufacturing
- Quality built-in
- Able to work with other standards for specific use cases
- Evolving towards the Digital Twins
- Very good implementation progress from the various vendors : for instance, on Kinematics, 3D PMI Semantics, PDM As Design and As planned
- Preparation of development of new AP242 edition 3 Capabilities on the way with shortened lead time
- Thanks to proven efficiency of Interoperability forums
