PLM20 was organized by University of Applied Science Rapperswil, Switzerland on 5-8 July 2020. Du to the global impact of COVIF-19 the conference was held in a virtual edition.
The main organizer was Prof. Dr. Felix Nyffenegger.

Some details about PLM20

Due to the global situation around COVIF-19 this years conference took place as a pure virtual event. This was the first time in the history of PLM conference. Still, the conference as raving success: around 120 delegates from research and industry, originated from 17 nations joined the event. In more than 70 online sessions 64 papers, 3 keynotes and several social activities were performed. Everly day was completed by an open industrial webinar, freely accessible to everyone. High ranking representatives from industry, such as Buehler Group, Amstein + Waltehrt, and the DigitalLab@HSR were presenting their experience, followed by intense podium discussions with researchers and other participants from industry.

In the pre-conference program also the Ph.D. workshop was held in a virtual edition. Young researches had to pitch their work in 3min and later discussed their research  with peers and professors.

Efficiency in Plant Engineering through Configurable Products
Roland Dinner, Head of Applications CAD/PDM
Marco Frick, Head of ATO/EqC Program

Billions of people come into contact with products produced on Bühler technologies to cover their basic needs for food and mobility every day. As a plant manufacturer, Bühler acts like an engineer-to-order company towards their customers offering all required flexibility. Internally, however, they achieved a high level of standardization through modularization and configurability of plant components. Roland Dinner and Marco Frick will explain, how this strategy was rolled out in the company and how it became part of the DNA of the people and the tools at Bühler.

 
 
BIM – Development of Best Practise
Thorsten Strathaus, Senior Consultant BIM

Thorsten Strathaus will showcase a rather large set of information requirements and BIM use cases, executed on a retail refurbishment project in an integrated project Delivery contract setup.

He will explain digital processes, ranging from planning to execution on the construction site, developed to be published through the Building Smart international / “Bauen digital Schweiz” network to develop the Swiss standards.

Implementing the Smart Factory
Prof. Dr. Roman Hänggi, CEO DitigalLab@HSR

The smart factory promises significant cost savings particularly for high cost labor markets. The challenge today is how to implement the Smart Factory in an existing production environment with existing IT infrastructure, existing business processes and different business needs. In addition the topic Smart Factory is challenging due to promising potential while using new technology and new approaches. This speech by Professor Roman Hänggi will give you some insights in implementing the Smart Factory based on different implemented research projects.
