2. What is a digital enterprise?
A digital enterprise changes the way people work and how they use information
Digital Product Definition
Cloud computing
Sensors and data gathering
Mobile technologies
Human/machine interface
Additive and traditional manufacturing
Standard interfaces and data formats
Location detection technologies
Cyber-security layers
Customer data capture
Big Data Analysis and Analytics
Digital integrated
value chains
Digital connected
Supply chains
Digital sustainment
and services

3. What should go into a model-based definition?
Implicit and explicit information must be included
Historically, drawings contained both implicit and explicit information. Context was important for understanding. However, CAD tools require explicit definition of information.

6. PLM Center of Excellence
The mission of Purdue University's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Center of Excellence is to promote the advancement and implementation of PLM through research and education in partnership with industry.
The objectives of the Purdue PLM Center are:
Conducting research that promotes PLM as a methodology and practice
Establishing industry partnerships that guide, support, and validate PLM research and education activities
Promoting the evolution and use of model-based digital product data
Promoting the use and development of tools and practices that emphasize the concept of a “digital twin” for products
Promote the author/consumer communication model around the use of digital product data
Assisting with the integration of PLM into curriculum
Facilitating the pursuit of PLM career opportunities by Purdue graduates
Enabling PLM adoption by industry
