Open Data Platform with connected applications and agentic AI

How the CM Baseline and Agentic AI enables the future of Enterprise applications.

Rob Ferrone’s and Oleg Shilovitsky’s LinkedIn bromance šŸ˜‰ has resulted in an interesting post by Oleg: How to Build PLM Applications We Love Using AI. His premise (my interpretation) is to build Minimum Loveable PLM applications as small applications supported by AI that fulfill a specific purpose using data from a shared data platform. No MVPs, but MLPs! Around the same time, Michael Finocchario published The Agentic AI Revolution: Reimagining PLM as… Read More »How the CM Baseline and Agentic AI enables the future of Enterprise applications.

Configuration Management is... Baselines

Configuration Management is… Baselines!

Configuration Management relies on baselines, which are approved snapshots of configuration at specific times. They ensure control over changes, provide traceability, and maintain product integrity. Without baselines, organizations face inconsistencies and delays. The CM2 Baseline updates with each dataset release, enhancing visibility and accountability in managing configurations.

Large Language Models

16 Ways Large Language Models (like ChatGPT) impact ConfigurationĀ Management

The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) like Bard, ChatGPT, and Ernie Bot has raised questions about their influence on Configuration Management. Potential applications include improving documentation, assisting audits, and enhancing search capabilities. Despite their promise, human oversight remains essential in decision-making and compliance due to accountability concerns surrounding AI.

Connections tell the Story

The post discusses the challenges of managing changes and dependencies in configurations, introducing the CM2 Baseline as a solution. This baseline integrates communication through a Business Object Graph, highlighting the importance of connections for impact analysis. It emphasizes real-time data sharing while maintaining the integrity of expert domain tools.

Understanding the Impact of Changes

The post discusses the challenges of managing complex product development without effective systems, comparing it to a lack of air traffic control leading to crashes. It introduces CM2’s Baseline solution for managing planned changes and their impacts but notes integration difficulties across different systems. Effective change management and dependency tracking are essential for timely product development.

What is the configuration when the product has an AI?

This article examines the complexities of managing product configurations in AI integration, focusing on how evolving AI capabilities, training datasets, and regulatory changes like Export Control influence this process. It raises critical questions about accountability, impact analysis, and certification requirements when AI alters a product’s functionality or classification.

A Glimpse into the future of CM – #2

The article discusses the need for structured models and datasets in managing product complexity within engineering and manufacturing. It emphasizes the significance of a Core Platform Network that captures various requirements and dependencies, facilitating effective configuration management. Different views, including engineering and manufacturing, are essential for impact analysis and maintaining alignment between product breakdowns.
