Embed innovation inside incumbent tools

Meet People Where They Work:
Turbocharging Siemens NX

Adoption over invention

Thesis

Reduce context switching and version drift by embedding capability into daily workflows.

Tension

Tab-hopping and drift between CAD, manufacturing, and version control created delays and audit pain.

Action

Built Siemens NX plugins and data contracts to keep engineers in flow while enforcing traceability.

Result

80% reduction in data transfer time; full traceability and version control.

Meaning

Adoption beats invention; the best features are the ones people actually use.

Plugin ergonomics

Prioritized UX and “one-click” actions inside NX so usage became the path of least resistance.

Data by design

Designed contracts so traceability is a byproduct, not a chore.
