Emerson, a global automation leader, announced the launch of its DeltaV™ MES Recipe Importer Tool, a no-code paper-on-glass application designed to eliminate traditional barriers to digitalization. By automating recipe creation, the software empowers pharmaceutical manufacturers to accelerate deployment and bring lifesaving treatments to market faster — even with limited information technology (IT) resources and no manufacturing execution system (MES) coding expertise. Traditionally, converting paper batch records into digital MES recipes is a complex, time consuming process requiring multiple workshops, configurations, reviews, tests and coding expertise. These steps often take months and demand close collaboration between IT and operational technology teams (e.g., manufacturing, quality, process, etc.). The DeltaV MES Recipe Importer Tool eliminates these bottlenecks, significantly reducing recipe creation timelines. “Many batch records that an operator must follow contain hundreds of steps, and building recipes has traditionally been tedious and extremely time consuming,” said Nathan Pettus, president of Emerson’s process systems and solutions business.

PTC announced the release of Windchill AI Parts Rationalization, a new artificial intelligence (AI) capability built in its Windchill® product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. This new capability brings AI directly into parts management workflows, helping manufacturers address longstanding challenges such as duplicate parts, slow or inaccurate part searches, and inconsistent part data—issues that contribute to higher costs and slower development cycles. Windchill AI Parts Rationalization detects similar parts to prevent duplicates, identifies redundant parts already in enterprise systems, and drives consolidation through change workflows. The capability is deployed as a plugin, allowing customers to adopt new AI capabilities and enabling rapid innovation while minimizing operational disruption. Together, these enhancements help reduce inventory and carrying costs, speed engineering work, improve data quality, and support more confident collaboration and decision-making across teams. “Getting part data right is foundational for modern product development, but it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain as product lines grow, systems multiply, and

Rocket Software, a global technology leader in IT modernization, announced Rocket EVA, an enterprise virtual assistant designed for accurate, automated operational diagnostics, bringing conversational intelligence directly to core systems. Powered by Rocket MCP Server, it supports governed access to system data using the industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling teams to query environments, diagnose issues, and receive recommendations using natural language. As enterprises look to apply AI more broadly across IT operations, new architectures are emerging to connect AI models with real system data in a governed way. According to Gartner, “By 2028, 80% of enterprise AI agent frameworks are expected to use an MCP-style service model, up from less than 5% today,” highlighting the need for production-ready AI solutions for mission-critical systems. Rocket EVA brings conversational intelligence directly to core systems, including mainframes, enabling teams to interact with these environments through a simple, intuitive interface. Delivered through Rocket’s MCP Server and coupled with
