AI in PLM: A Disruptive Opportunity and Challenge
Turning AI disruption into enterprise value: Strategic insights for the PLM professional

Check back soon!


The new SysML v2 Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) standard has been assessed by the AD PAG MBSE Collaboration working group as a potential solution to improve collaboration in engineering models and avoid tool-vendor lock. SysML v2 is a new standard approved by the Object Management Group in 2025. The AD PAG working group comprises major aerospace & defense Original Equipment Manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers who are interested in SysML v2 as a potential enabler to work together more effectively within the engineering modeling environment. This presentation will summarize the project report, highlighting the benefits of SysML v2, the gaps that hinder collaboration, and external considerations to address during the adoption and roll-out of SysML v2. SysML v2 tools were not yet available at the time of this investigation; therefore, the conclusions are based on analysis of the SysML v2 standard and engagements with major SysML v2 solution providers.

    Denise Fitzgerald, Group Leader, MIT Lincoln Laboratory [Bio]
    Many teams try to add AI to PLM while engineering and manufacturing data remain fragmented across systems. The result is slow adoption and outputs that are difficult to trust, limiting impact beyond isolated productivity gains. This session outlines an approach to AI-ready PLM that makes data readiness a design goal of the implementation: governed interoperability, strong data foundations, and a digital thread that connects engineering with manufacturing, assembly, and test. The presentation will show how low-code extensions can expand PLM beyond engineering and connect it with MES and ERP, enabling AI agents to reason across requirements, configurations, processes, and outcomes to support better decisions and cost performance. The presentation will also touch on how low-code changes delivery expectations for software providers, integrators, and client SMEs, shifting effort from heavy customization toward faster configuration, iterative feedback, and sustainable upgrades.
