PTC has been incorporating artificial intelligence in its portfolio of manufacturing software solutions for over a decade. Users have long been able to reap the benefits of machine learning and generative AI in solutions like ThingWorx and ServiceMax.
A Bill of Materials (BOM) has long been used to define a product and its individual parts. However, smart manufacturing organisations have discovered that with the right software, you can use your BOM to oversee the entirety of a product’s data throughout its lifecycle, ensuring a unified, accurate system bringing in data from physical and digital environments.
Model-Based Definition (or MBD) uses 3D CAD models annotated with all necessary product and manufacturing information instead of traditional 2D production drawings. MBD has quickly gained popularity in the manufacturing industry in recent years, so if you’re not reaping the many benefits of MBD, there’s never been a better time to start.
In Spring 2024, PTC launched its latest version of Mathcad Prime. Designed to empower engineers to make advanced calculations with transparency, efficiency and precision, Mathcad Prime 10 delivers a wide range of new features.
Unplanned downtime is the time when a manufacturing machine, network or other piece of equipment stops working unexpectedly. It’s a significant problem for manufacturers as it can delay production and cause issues further down the production process.
When we talk about digital transformation in manufacturing, we tend to focus on the technology. We talk about the Internet of Things, AR, AI and other exciting sounding terms, but we rarely focus on the role of the workforce.
Manufacturers today are facing a severe workforce challenge. The Baby Boom generation that powered these companies’ growth is leaving the workforce to retire, and younger Generation Z are replacing them.
Do you know what a digital thread is? It’s the data flow between multiple applications that defines a product throughout its life. From initial design and development through manufacturing and maintenance and, ultimately, retirement, the digital thread keeps everyone on the same page.
The new version of PTC’s Codebeamer is here - and it’s great. If you’re implementing application lifecycle management (ALM) in your company, upgrading to version 2.2 is a must. In this article, we’ll share six areas where Codebeamer 2.2 delivers significant enhancements. Let’s get started.
