From July 10 to 13 took place in Grenoble (France) the IFIP 19th International Conference on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), a reference event that, since 2003, brings together researchers, developers and users of product lifecycle management and in which M&M Group participated very actively with the presentation of three research papers and a doctoral thesis model on this subject by Dr. Fernando Mas and Lucia Recio, CTO and H. O. Industry 4.0 & PLM of M&M Group, respectively.
On the first day, dedicated to the Doctoral Workshop, Lucía Recio, also a researcher at the University of Seville (US), presented a model of her thesis “Design of a PLM environment for small and medium-sized companies in Industry 4.0 contexts”. On the second day, the Sustainable Manufacturing session was held, where Dr. Mas y Recio, together with Dr. Amanda Martín-Mariscal and Dr. Estela Peralta Álvarez, also researchers from the University of Seville, presented the paper “First approach to a theoretical framework for carbon footprint management in the aerospace manufacturing industry”.
On the same day, in the session Models for Manufacturing, Dr. Mas presented, together with Manuel Oliva (Airbus Spain), Dominique Ernadote (Airbus France), Rebeca Arista (Airbus France/US), Dr. Domingo Morales-Palma and Dr. Carpóforo Vallellano (both from the US), the paper “Evaluation of a commercial Model Lifecycle Management (MLM) tool to support Models for Manufacturing (MfM) methodology”.
Finally, on the closing day, Dr. Mas coordinated the End-to-End PLM session, in which he also presented the paper “A process-oriented approach for shipbuilding industrial design using advanced PLM tools” together with Recio, Dr. Martín-Mariscal and Dr. Peralta. Dr. Mas was also appointed member of both the Steering Committee and the Scientific Committee of the event.
“We have experienced a very intense conference in which we have also been able to broaden our knowledge of PLM. We are very proud because the participation of M&M Group has been successful, with three scientific publications of our R&D work in this area. We hope to be present again next year in Montreal,” said Dr. Mas.
It is worth noting that the objective of this international meeting, whose theme for the 2022 edition was “PLM in transition times: the place of humans and transformative technologies“, is to integrate business approaches to the collaborative creation, management and dissemination of product and process data across the extended enterprises that create, manufacture and operate engineered products and systems. The conference has engaged all stakeholders in the broad concept of product lifecycle management (PLM), hoping to shape the future of the field and advance the science and practice of business development.
