MFG3103-D | Building the Digital Thread: M2X’s Path from Engineering to Manufacturing Scale
  • Tuesday, Sep 156:00 AM - 7:00 AM PDT
    (1:00 PM - 2:00 PM GMT)
What breaks when a 10-person engineering team becomes a 70-person manufacturing organization? This session will explore M2X’s real-world journey scaling with Inventor, Vault, AutoCAD Plant 3D, and Autodesk Fusion Manage software. Learn how the team transitioned from ad hoc design workflows to structured data management and a connected PDM/PLM strategy. We’ll cover how to time tool adoption, avoid common scaling missteps, and enable cross-functional collaboration between engineering and production. You’ll gain practical frameworks to structure product data, build a digital thread, and support rapid growth—while improving quality, reducing rework, and maintaining control across the product lifecycle.
Learning Objective 1: Learn how to implement data management workflows that connect engineering and manufacturing teams.
Learning Objective 2: Learn about common scaling pitfalls in tool adoption and how to mitigate their impact.
Learning Objective 3: Learn how to map a digital thread across design, PDM, and PLM systems to support production scale.
Learning Objective 4: Learn about the trade-offs between early and delayed adoption of Vault and PLM solutions.
