Using feedback from products in the field to continuously improve design modules used as the basis for product development can increase product performance and reliability and reduce development time.<\/p>\n

OEMs have made enormous strides in feeding back information from the manufacturing process into design to increase process yields. Metrics important to customers such as performance, reliability and usability would be much more useful inputs to the design process, but traditionally they have been much more difficult to obtain. Now Internet of Things platforms can collect and analyze this information and modular design systems can present it to designers in context.<\/p>\n
