Migrating data to a new PLM system rarely comes down to a simple process of exporting the data, transforming it, and importing it into a new environment. In fact, the most complex projects often begin where standard migration scenarios end. This is particularly true for PLM Carve-Outs & Mergers, where organizations separate part of their […]
On 12 August 2026, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will start to apply. For manufacturers, this means new obligations related to packaging, but also something much broader: the need to effectively manage data, documentation, product versions and changes throughout the entire product lifecycle. And this is exactly where regulation meets PLM. A great […]
Artificial intelligence has become impossible to avoid. Every major PLM vendor is adding AI capabilities to its portfolio, analysts are predicting a new wave of productivity, and manufacturers are looking for practical ways to apply AI across engineering, manufacturing and service. It is tempting to see this as the next chapter of Product Lifecycle Management, but I think the picture is […]
Key takeaways What to expect from this article This article examines why Europe’s competitiveness in dual-use technologies will increasingly depend on connected engineering knowledge rather than production capacity alone. It explains how the Digital Thread functions as an operating model that links requirements, design decisions, manufacturing records, software baselines, certification evidence and operational feedback across […]
The automotive industry produces a very broad portfolio of products, ranging from simple machined parts to complex assemblies whose final properties depend as much on materials engineering and manufacturing process control as on geometry design. Introduction Manufacturing is commonly divided into two paradigms: discrete and process manufacturing. In discrete manufacturing, products are built as countable units that can […]
The upcoming end of support for Oracle Agile PLM in 2027 is driving organizations to reassess their PLM strategy and explore modern alternatives that can support complex supply chains, digital transformation, and long-term innovation goals.
Most Agile PLM users underestimate how much work hides behind a PLM migration. On the surface, it looks like a technical exercise: extract the data, move it to a new system, reconnect integrations, and you are done. In reality, a PLM transition touches some of the most critical processes in the organization – how products […]
In modern manufacturing, speed and reliability are no longer trade-offs – they are simultaneous requirements. Automotive companies face an unprecedented combination of product complexity, electrification, software integration, and regulatory pressure. The organizations that succeed are those that treat product data as a strategic asset, building their development processes on Product Data Management (PDM), Product Lifecycle […]
Building Future-Ready Organizations: How R&D, Partnerships and Advanced Technologies Drive Competitive Advantage
Introduction In today’s competitive landscape, modern CAD tools are no longer used only for geometry creation. They have become central to the entire product development lifecycle. Integrating simulation into CAD software ensures that product development decisions are based on performance data from the earliest stages. Recently, we launched a live demo of Creo Simulation Live, […]
The aerospace and defense industry faces increasing pressure for innovation, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platforms such as PTC Windchill have become the backbone for managing complex engineering data, streamlining product development cycles, and ensuring traceability for defense organizations and aerospace manufacturers. This whitepaper explores how data management, configuration management, and […]
