PDF Key Takeaways Applying AI techniques to requirements’ engineering and management throughout product development enables OEMs to enhance knowledge application and establish end-to-end traceability that speeds product development and upgrades. Modern product engineering needs integrated application lifecycle management (ALM) and PLM environments, with AI to improve visibility of regulations and safety standards and ensure regulatory compliance throughout the complete product lifecycle. PTC’s enterprise ALM solution portfolio (Codebeamer, Pure Variants, and PTC Modeler) powers model-based systems engineering, requirements management, product line engineering, risk management, test management, and whole product engineering workflows. PTC’s ALM solutions are integrated with their PLM system (Windchill) to help shorten time to market while improving product quality and regulatory compliance. Introduction CIMdata’s definition of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) addresses the complete lifecycle of a product including related data and processes—from idea inception to requirements definition, to planning and development, to supply chain management, and then mass production and in-service performance and product upgrades. The

Tecsys Inc., a global leader in supply chain management solutions, announced the launch of TecsysIQ™, a cloud-native intelligence layer that helps healthcare organizations unify fragmented data and deliver AI-powered insights across clinical, operational and financial systems.

Rockwell Automation, Inc., the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, in collaboration with its partner Circulor, a leading supply chain traceability provider, announced that it has been selected by Acculon Energy, a U.S.-based manufacturer of advanced battery systems, to deliver next-generation battery energy storage solutions. As demand for energy storage grows to support the shift to clean, reliable power, the pressure is rising for manufacturers to provide greater transparency and accountability in their supply chains. By 2030, the global demand for lithium-ion batteries is expected to increase more than five times, according to the International Energy Agency. This rapid growth has made it critical for battery manufacturers to trace critical minerals and reduce environmental impact, especially as new regulations, including the European Union Battery Regulation and its digital battery passport requirements, begin to take effect. In response, Acculon will integrate Circulor’s proven traceability solution and Rockwell’s digital transformation expertise to track

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Arc Boat Company (Arc), a startup on a mission to electrify the marine industry, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software to design and manufacture their high-performance, fully electric boats. Founded in 2021, Arc is a venture-backed startup based in Los Angeles, California. The company designs and manufactures everything for its electric boats in-house, including battery packs, powertrain systems, thermal control systems and software. Arc One, the company’s first product, sold out its initial production run and the next generation, Arc Sport, a 500 horsepower (hp) all-electric wake boat, is taking the wake boat industry by storm. The Arc team had experience using Siemens software at other companies, so Siemens Xcelerator was a natural choice to be the company's technology platform. As Ryan Cook, co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO) at Arc explains, “We thought if Siemens Xcelerator is going to be our long-term software, we might
