WORKSHOP on LEAN DFX SW presented within the scope of Produtech R3, WP2

On May 22nd, the second Workshop of the PRODUTECH R3 WP2 – Design2Transform project took place at INEGI, focusing on the Lean DfX Module integrated into the SISTRADE PLM Software. With the participation of software demonstrators, companies like CEI, Desafios em Sintonia, and JPM, as well as institutions like ENESIIs - INEGI, IST, IPCB, and CATIM, the event combined theoretical and practical presentations on the tool. The Workshop allowed for testing of the PLM modules, with a particular emphasis on LeanDfX, fostering progress in the project and enabling an exchange of ideas among participants. 

On May 22, as part of the PRODUTECH R3 WP2 – Design2Transform project, a workshop related to the Lean DfX Module integrated into the SISTRADE PLM Software took place at INEGI's facilities. This event marked the second presentation of the tool's progress. The training, conducted by INEGI and SISTRADE, included participants from software demonstrators such as CEI, Desafios em Sintonia, and JPM, as well as ENESIIs - INEGI, IST, IPCB, and CATIM, totaling 16 participants both in-person and online.

The workshop agenda included the presentation of the theoretical foundations of the LeanDfX tool and a practical case study of its use by INEGI, followed by SISTRADE's presentation of the module integrated into the PLM Software. Additionally, the workshop featured a practical application, guided by SISTRADE, aimed at testing the different PLM modules, with a particular focus on the LeanDfX module. This resulted in substantial project progress and a fruitful exchange of ideas among the various entities present. This in-person activity proved essential for the project, as it allowed the demonstrators to test, analyze, and evaluate the tool's progress, exchange impressions with the software developer regarding the different PLM modules, and suggest improvements. The discussion generated during the workshop enabled SISTRADE to gather useful and substantial information for future developments to ensure the software's successful implementation in the different demonstrators.

The approach aims to make the tool versatile, meeting the expectations and needs of the demonstrators in the metallurgical and automation sectors, and customizing it to ensure its active use in their respective companies. Following the workshop, the next step focuses on the continued application of the PLM software to enhance the quality of generated products. Demonstrators are requested to provide feedback on the presented modules so that during the personalized meetings between SISTRADE and each demonstrator, all doubts and questions can be raised and resolved, making the entire tool development process interactive and beneficial. Through this customization and validation by industrial demonstrators, it is expected that SISTRADE's PLM will be a tool that enables the generation of high-value-added national products.
