Defense Manufacturing December 2024
December 2024: Austin, TX Anark arrived at DMC 2024 following the highly successful joint webinar with ITI Wipro, where we explored how Anark 3D PDFs and ITI CADIQ validation combine to create MIL-STD-31000B—or any type of—Technical Data Package. We had great discussions with attendees focused on improving 3Di document creation and validation processes. If you missed it, you can still watch the on-demand replay!
This was the 8th year for Anark to sponsor and present at DMC where we help manufacturers and government enable the type of requirements outlined in DoD Instruction 5000.97 Digital Engineering. Note that the goals of DoDI 5000.97 could be applicable to any type of industry where Digital Transformation is important, not just Aerospace and Defense. One other hot topic at DMC was DoDI 5200.48 Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) that the Anark Technical Data Collaboration Platform can address.
Anark VP of Marketing Patrick Dunfey presented in the Model-Based Enterprise: Building a Connected Supply Network stay tuned for a blog summary and video update to Anark's approach to DoDI 5000.97 at the top of 2025.
