Design News recently interviewed Mike Arnold, Executive Director, Product and Technology at Accuris, about the launch of Accuris Thread. Thread is our newly launched solution that connects requirements into digital engineering workflows. 

The journey to a model-based enterprise is filled with challenges—especially when it comes to managing unstructured data and ensuring requirements traceability.

Beyond Efficiency: Digital Transformation in Energy Industry Elevates Safety Digital transformation. It’s been a buzzword across the energy industry, but what does it actually mean? Simply put, the digital transformation is the process of incorporating digital technologies to change how your business operates. In the energy industry, this could mean using IoT devices, using AI […]

Golden samples are authentic reference components used to verify the originality of other parts. In industries like aerospace and defense, they are essential for detecting counterfeit items and ensuring quality. This article explores the role of golden samples in mitigating counterfeit risks and how real-time data intelligence enhances their effectiveness. These insights build upon the […]

Addressing Aircraft Noise Emissions: Challenges and Innovations for a Quieter Future As global air traffic continues to grow, the aviation industry faces increasing pressure to manage aircraft noise and its impact on surrounding communities. Noise concerns are becoming more prominent as urban expansion brings more people closer to airports, heightening the need for effective solutions. […]

Dr. John Hammar, ESDU Liaison Engineer, shares his experience working with ESDU customers to improve the product and advance innovation in the aerospace industry

What if you could save 90% of the time it takes for your engineers to identify and extract requirements? Manually managing requirements is tedious, time-consuming and, simply put, not the best use of an engineer’s time. An engineer at a US aerospace engineering service provider told us that during requirements identification and extraction, he spends […]

The global aviation industry faces unprecedented challenges in production, safety, and supply chain management. Aircraft shortages, due to production delays and safety inspections, threaten to create widespread disruptions. The aviation industry’s current predicament is multifaceted. Material and parts shortages, a lingering effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to plague manufacturers. Recent safety concerns have led […]

Scope creep is one of the most persistent challenges in engineering projects, often leading to budget overruns, missed deadlines, and quality issues. In highly regulated industries like aerospace, defense, and high-tech manufacturing, even minor unplanned changes can disrupt entire project timelines and increase costs significantly.

Managing engineering projects has never been more challenging. Engineering teams are expected to deliver faster, innovate more efficiently, and maintain rigorous compliance – all while navigating massive volumes of data and requirements. Without a centralized framework to connect project requirements, specifications, and critical information, these challenges only grow, leading to costly delays, errors, and missed […]

As I reflect on another splendid year presenting/teaching engineering methods and helping Accuris customers find the right tools and support to creatively design the products of the future, I conclude that one phrase sums up a recurring theme for 2024: “working through uncertainty.” I realised long ago that if I don’t learn something when I […]

In the fast-evolving manufacturing world, ensuring consistent production and design innovation requires agility in electronic parts selection. Parts must fit together and function properly. Traditional approaches to parts compatibility—anchored around fit, form, and function (FFF)—have long served as the industry standard for identifying substitutes. While effective, this rigid framework can often leave engineers and procurement […]
