Learn how Hitachi Energy implemented MBD to improve supplier information
management, quality control, and tolerance analysis.


10:15 – 10:45
Coffee Break & Networking


10:45 – 11:20
Real-World Quality Control Use Cases for MBD
Aleksa Dopudja, Capvidia
Discover the impact of MBD in industries like aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods, including case studies that show how MBD improves collaboration and operational efficiency.


11:20 – 11:55
From 3D Model to CMM – Automatization of Metrology with 3D PMI & QIF
Markus Grann, Hexagon & Mats Johansson, Dynamate
This session explores how 3D models with semantic PMI are integrated into Hexagon’s PCDmis software for automated metrology, improving the accuracy of inspections.


12:00 – 13:00
Lunch Break


13:00 – 13:35
Lessons Learned from Model-Based Implementations
Dan Feighery, Action Engineering
Successfully adopting and integrating digital practices and technologies in pursuit of a Model-Based Enterprise is more than just incorporating new tools into an organization’s software stack and digitizing data. Gain insights from recent MBD and MBE projects to optimize digital product definition authoring practices for data re-use throughout the product life cycle.


13:35 – 14:10
ASME Model-Based Standards Activities
Fredric Constantino, ASME
ASME is actively working to develop and modernize standards for model-based
operations. The MBE Standards Committee and the MBE&Y14 Harmonization
Committee focus on supporting and guiding the development of Model-Based Definition (MBD) and datasets within the Model-Based Enterprise. ASME works closely with ISO TC 10 to harmonize digital product definition and MBD content between ASME Y14.41, ASME Y14.47, and ISO 16792. During the presentation, current activities and how to get involved will be discussed, which is important for maximizing the value of model-based investments.
