Kenesto Breaks Free of Traditional PLM
March 7, 2012
Technology companies are continually releasing new products, but one that caught our eye was Kenesto. They have created a new cloud-based, business process automation system for manufacturing. Engineering Matters takes a closer look in their article Kenesto: A New Take on PLM.
Kenesto “is markedly different from almost all of the software systems that support product development today.” These differences allow “new activities that organizations cannot get by using today’s PLM systems.”
“[t]here is a strong need for creativity and innovation in engineering. Today’s PLM systems with rigid process definitions seem ill suited to support that need. And that’s why I feel something like Kenesto with something that looks and feels more like routing to support ad-hoc activities than a workflow enforcing predefined processes seems like a better fit. The great news is that Kenesto can support both.”
Like Autodesk PLM360, Kenesto “is decoupled from PDM, making it a finer granularity system that can be adopted more readily.”
We are excited about Kenesto’s new take on PLM. There are many technology companies that are taking PLM and putting their own spin on it. For example, Inforbix has successfully changed how manufacturers find, reuse and share product data.
Going beyond traditional PLM parameters will only lead to bigger and better things for Kenesto, Inforbix and manufacturers using their solutions.
