Bricsys, the developer of the BricsCAD® design platform and part of Hexagon, is evolving. Following Hexagon’s previously announced potential spin-off of selected software businesses, Bricsys will become part of a new independent enterprise software company: Octave. As part of this transition, we will start to conduct business as  Octave. Although the legal entity Bricsys NV continues to exist, Bricsys as a brand will be retired. For product naming, Octave will be added, making us  Octave BricsCAD. While the name and visual identity will evolve, the product remains the same powerful, trusted CAD platform professionals rely on every day. What This Means for Customers and PartnersFor customers and partners, this transition changes the name, not the experience. BricsCAD continues with the same product roadmap, licensing models, and support channels. Professionals who rely on BricsCAD across DWG-native drafting, modeling, BIM, mechanical, and surveying workflows can expect the same performance and flexibility they depend on today.

Octave, the potential software spin-off from Hexagon AB, unveiled its new brand identity, marking a major step toward its transition into an independent company. Comprised of Hexagon’s Asset Lifecycle Intelligence and Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial divisions, alongside the Bricsys, ETQ and Projectmates businesses, Octave’s brand signals a clear vision of purpose and mission to unleash intelligence at scale. The new brand unifies a market-leading portfolio that solves and simplifies complexity across the entire lifecycle, from design and build to the operation and protection of people, property, and assets. “Octave exists to help customers make better decisions when complexity is high and the stakes matter,” said Mattias Stenberg, chief executive officer of Octave. “We aren't just launching a logo; this is a commitment to help organizations achieve the outcomes that matter most. When failure isn’t an option and success is essential, Octave provides the clarity and accountability leaders need to realize their most

Propel Software, creator of the first product value management (PVM) platform transforming how businesses create, market, sell, and service products, announced record-breaking bookings performance for fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Propel achieved 42% year-over-year (YoY) bookings growth, capped by record bookings in Q4.  The FY26 results mark a multi-year growth trajectory that includes five consecutive appearances on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500. The company's expansion reflects manufacturers accelerating migration from end-of-life legacy PLM and QMS systems to modern, cloud-native platforms powered by agentic AI and multi-CAD integration. Propel Growth Drivers: Product Innovation, Partners, and Agile Replacement WinsPropel's 2025 performance was fueled by three key factors.  Record partner-driven bookings as channel partners positioned Propel as their go-to solution for customers migrating from legacy systems. New product revenue, driven by high uptake of DesignHub, a multi-CAD integration solution connecting mechanical and electrical design tools to Propel's PLM, and Propel One, the company's platform-native agentic AI

Innatera, the leader in brain-like neuromorphic computing for ultra-low-power intelligence at the sensor edge, selected Synopsys, Inc. for design and validation of its next-generation neuromorphic microcontrollers. Synopsys' reliable solutions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and power integrity analysis will help Innatera scale its operations to meet the growing demand for edge processing in industrial sensors, robotics, wearables, and smart home technologies. Neuromorphic microcontrollers process information through Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) that mimic how biological neurons communicate, delivering brain-inspired intelligence at the sensor edge. This event-driven approach enables real-time, ultra-low-power operation in sensor-rich environments where responsiveness and energy efficiency are critical. Innatera's architecture combines mixed-signal analog computation, dense interconnects, and low-voltage design — key enablers of efficiency but potential sources of electrical noise and ESD sensitivity. To address these challenges and ensure robust performance across complex neuromorphic circuits, Innatera leverages PathFinder-SC and Totem to validate power integrity, manage noise coupling, and maintain reliability without

Siemens announced Inventec Corporation, a global leader in high-tech electronics and server manufacturing, has adopted Siemens’ Valor™ NPI software and Process Preparation X solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to strengthen design-for-manufacturing (DFM) efficiency and production quality across its server and notebook product lines. Solving manufacturing issues before productionInventec is a major Taiwan-based original design manufacturer (ODM) and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that designs and manufactures notebooks, servers and other electronic devices for leading global brands. As the complexity of server and AI-driven hardware designs increases, the gap between design and manufacturing becomes a critical bottleneck. Realizing this, Inventec sought a scalable, automated approach to improve its early-stage manufacturing readiness and production quality. By adopting Siemens’ Valor NPI, Inventec has embedded automated DFM verification into its development workflow, enabling engineering teams to identify and resolve manufacturing issues before production. This shift has helped Inventec significantly reduce late-stage design changes, improve first-pass yield and cut EQ from PCB

 PDF NX Inspector links PMI to characteristics, closing the design to production to quality evaluation loop Takeaways Characteristics are critical data elements for model-based enterprise (MBE) maturity, closed-loop digital threads, and are required to meet Department of Defense Instruction 5000.97. A single PMI object often creates multiple design, quality, and manufacturing requirements (i.e., characteristics) that need to be managed and effectively consumed to create high-quality products cost-effectively by assessing part and product performance. NX Inspector associatively creates and updates characteristics derived from Designcenter NX PMI objects within Teamcenter where they are managed for and consumed by downstream applications such as quality planning and process planning. Planning solutions enable simulation of quality activities using characteristics so parts, assemblies, and designs can be optimized for production and to create effective quality and inspection plans. Feedback incorporated into designs automatically updates downstream quality and inspection plans via NX Inspector’s connectivity. NX CAM, NX CMM, Siemens Opcenter, and other execution solutions

 PDF Unifying Engineering Data, PLM, and AI to Accelerate Manufacturing Performance Takeaways Manufacturers cannot achieve an end-to-end digital thread without integrating data across CAD, PLM, ERP, and simulation systems. Fragmented technical data disrupts manufacturing planning, slows NPI/NPD cycles, and complicates lifecycle traceability. AI-driven manufacturing depends on unified and contextualized engineering data. Without consistent structures, attributes, and change information flowing downstream, advanced capabilities like copilots, RAG search, MCP-driven automation, and predictive insights cannot be deployed meaningfully. Modern product manufacturing operations require workflows and PLM extensions that reflect real engineering-to-manufacturing processes. Out-of-the-box systems rarely provide the level of configuration, traceability, or lifecycle continuity that manufacturers need. AMC Bridge brings deep experience across engineering APIs, PLM platforms, simulation environments, along with enterprise integrations, and business process understanding, enabling manufacturers to eliminate data silos and build synchronized digital-thread pipelines. Real customer outcomes—such as automated BOM creation, simulation data integration, PLM modernization, and compliance automation—demonstrate measurable improvements in manufacturing readiness, quality, planning,
