About this episode

Welcome to Talking Aerospace Today – a podcast for the Aerospace & Defense industry. A place that brings the promise of tomorrow’s technology to the ears of our listeners today. Building aerospace products is quite a complex endeavor these days as innovative new technologies are introduced, and customer expectations demand ever-more functionality. This presents a big challenge to companies in the A&D industry as they seek to have their products certified by various governing agencies. 


But there is some good news…


Companies today are quickly learning that when they introduce digitalization into the product development process they are opening the process up to virtual testing throughout a product’s entire development lifecycle, making certification a whole lot easier, faster and far less expensive. 


In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today we’ll be talking about a digitalized certification process. Joining me is Tom Gill, Senior Consultant at CIMdata and an active member of the PLM A&D Action Group at CIMdata. Tom has over 30 years of experience in engineering design, development and program leadership within the aerospace industry. Also joining me is Dale Tutt, my partner, and Vice President of Aerospace & Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software.


I’m your host, Scott Salzwedel, and I hope you’ll join us for this highly informative talk on how to improve the certification process among the many obstacles and challenges facing the industry today.


Some questions I ask:

  • Could you explain the role that CIMdata plays in the A&D industry? (03:44)
  • What can customers expect in terms of certification once they become a more digitalized enterprise? (21:39)
  • How does Siemens approach virtual testing? (26:17)
  • How does the verification management digital thread work? (29:03)
  • What is the role of Xcelerator in A&D? (35:15)


What you’ll learn from this episode:

  • Why certification is more difficult for companies still using legacy processes and technology. (06:01)
  • The alignment of Siemens digital threads. (07:55)
  • The importance of visibility into the supply chain. (12:22)
  • Why product certification in the A&D industry is suddenly more challenging. (13:51)
  • The benefits of a verification management digital thread (37:48)
