Introducing Duro Design

Duro, a leading PLM platform for hardware engineering, relaunched its product as Duro Design, a cloud- and AI-native PLM rebuilt from the ground up to help manufacturers launch products up to three times faster. The PLM space is projected to be a $46 billion market by 2032, but remains dominated by legacy tools built in the 1980s—rigid, difficult to adopt, and poorly suited for modern workflows. Building hardware is still unnecessarily difficult: data is siloed, tools don’t talk to each other, and time-to-value can take months or even years. These outdated systems often require expensive consultants, creating friction across teams instead of enabling speed and collaboration. Today’s hardware engineers, well-versed in agile workflows, expect PLM tools to be flexible, user-friendly, and as connected as the software they use daily. AI is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s table stakes for enterprise SaaS, boosting productivity and streamlining the user experience (UX). Just as GitHub redefined how developers build software,

PTC announced the release of its Arena® product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) solution’s new Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) offering. The Arena SCI™ offering continuously checks for emerging risks from evolving supply chain conditions and eliminates the need for disconnected supply chain tools by embedding real-time, AI-driven component monitoring and risk mitigation insight directly into product development workflows. These capabilities transform how product development teams manage component risks throughout the entire product lifecycle within their existing PLM environment. Product development and introduction teams can use Arena SCI to continuously monitor electronic components across bills of materials to identify emerging risks from changing supply chain conditions. When risks are detected, Arena SCI provides visibility, suggests alternative components based on technical compatibility, and enables teams to make more informed sourcing decisions earlier in the product development process—helping prevent sourcing interruptions before they impact production. “By delivering supply chain intelligence directly where design decisions
