PTC announced the PTC Orbit™ cloud-native asset intelligence solution, which closes the gap between the product as designed and the asset as maintained. By connecting PLM, ERP, CRM, IoT, EAM, and FSM systems into a single, unified asset record, PTC Orbit applies AI to make asset information accessible, explorable, and actionable across engineering, quality, and service teams and extends the value of the Intelligent Product Lifecycle. Manufacturers invest heavily in managing the product lifecycle from design through manufacturing, with every revision, configuration, and change order tracked in PLM. But once a product ships, structured visibility ends and the as-maintained state of each asset fragments across disconnected systems. PTC Orbit fills this gap by serving as the as-maintained system of intelligence, enabling every team to work from the same accurate, current asset view, driving closed-loop product reliability, proactive service readiness, and support for aftermarket revenue programs. "Asset data fragmentation is one of the most persistent
