yes....well sounds a bit utopic to me...I don;t think you can mix up cultures and domain knowldeges BUT something like PLM would help to make it look like ONE
to Toshio: not sure I understand the suggestion but in the SW world the functional definition of what functions should perform the product would usually be the right approach - and a function does not assume how you are going to implement and is valid for all engineering areas
SInce the radio went off how many are still online but here is my one cent worth of a suggestion for help bridge between the two, i.e mechanical and enbedded designers. If you review our object code they are named for programmer liking term for ease of coding.
So the same talken can the embedded high level coding to be named after the mechanical engineer liking? For instance to halt machine at some instance the code naming be "machine off". Suggest developing code name with mechanical team very early on the project where it is cheap to make mistake.
Is there any particular industry where this focus on bridging the mechanical and embedded worlds is most acute? You talked about automotive and aerospace--others?
Moving to engineering groups, but which: Mechanical, electrical or embedded? Or does it belong to a group that's over all of those functional departments, for example, a PLM program office or something of that ilk?
As multi disciplines extend their use of siloed tools to leverage a PLM platform, who typically owns the PLM platform--any particular discipline or is it IT?

I would love to hear more committent from Siemens about OSLC. I have done research to know that they participate in the OSLC working group. But I would like to see more public statements.
I noticed recently that PTC acquired MKS recently. I would expect that PTC will eventually try to develop an integrated change management system/work flow between electro-mechanical and SW. But I expect that a good integration will take a couple years to work out.
I have been looking into PLM systems, and although I believe that the PLM should be a bridge between the electro-mechanical development and SW development, it seems that none of the PLM solutions provide anything close to the capabilities of an Application Lifecycle Management tool. Do the PLM companies have any good recommendations/integrations to get a good workflow between PLM and ALM? Both PLM and ALM solutions will typically have some "change management" system at it's heart ... so how would you get the two of them to work together to get the "single version of the truth"?
The topic of our discussion is analogus to a project converting analog (mechanical) to digital (embedded system) back to analog (mecanical). Our world of digitalization seems wanting to separate both arena. I have been asked if I am an analog eng or digital but this embedded topic needs to find a central arena so both can envision the final product, together. I wonder these executives know this when making a decision.
This is where a systems engineer comes in but often the product design specification fails tieing both arena. I hope today's discussion identify new platform for specifying embedded project.
Since this is such a great audio interview, we are extending the audio streaming portion of the radio show 10 minutes to the 40 minute mark. Pascal will join the instant chat stream after that ends.
MPORTANT NOTE: IF YOUR COMPANY BLOCKS LIVE STREAMING AUDIO -- as a number of companies do -- YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR THE BROADCAST LIVE when it begins at 2pm eastern, in a streaming audio player which appears at the top of this page at that time. You will have to come back and access it as an archive. The archive is posted later today. However, you may want to still stick around for the live chat with our guest; he will dive in at the 2;30 pm EDT mark.
What is a good definition of "embedded systems" and "embedded design"? And how is rapid-prototyping and 3-D printing going to figure into the design and prototyping process, now and in the future?
What preparation is needed... EE degree or ME degree or specialized Mechatronics degree? Which schools are doing a good job in preparing students for real projects?

Welcome. Today's radio show begins at 2pm eastern. Please type in your questions at the best ones will be fed to our guest during the first 30 minutes, which constitutes the live RADIO discussion portion of the show. At 2:30 pm, our guest, Pascal Vera of Siemens, will come onto this instant chat and answer your questions directly.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
