By late 2025, the initial hype cycle surrounding generative AI in engineering had begun to settle into practical reality. We spent a couple of years being impressed that an LLM
Remember the days of chunky software installations, endless update cycles, and IT departments wrestling with server racks just to keep your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system humming? For many, those
The landscape of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) has shifted. As we navigate 2026, the conversation has moved beyond simple data vaulting to the era of AI-driven Digital Threads and Autonomous
Imagine trying to bake a cake where the person deciding on the ingredients (the recipe developer) never actually talks to the person buying them (the shopper), and neither of them
Working with contract manufacturers (CMs) is a cornerstone of modern product development. They bring specialized expertise, scale, and often, cost efficiencies that are simply unattainable in-house. But there’s a delicate
For decades, we’ve lived in a world where our precious product data – the very DNA of our innovations – has been held hostage. Not maliciously, of course, but inadvertently
We’re all familiar with the idea of a carbon footprint. We try to recycle, maybe drive less, or choose energy-efficient appliances. Companies diligently track their “Scope 1” emissions (what they
In the quiet hum of a modern engineering office, a subtle but seismic shift is occurring. It isn’t the clatter of new hardware or the neon glow of a specialized
In the world of manufacturing, we often talk about “the truth.” We want a single source of truth, a definitive bill of materials (BOM), and a clear path from design
Ah, the humble spreadsheet. For decades, it’s been the unsung hero of countless businesses, a versatile digital Swiss Army knife for everything from tracking finances to managing customer lists. And
