PTC announced that, for the third year in a row, its Vuforia® Enterprise Augmented Reality Suite (AR) has been named a "Best in Class" technology in teknowlogy Group's latest PAC Radar vendor analysis. In the report, entitled "Open Digital Platforms for the Industrial World in Europe 2021," PTC is positioned as a top vendor in both "competence" and "strength in the marketplace."
According to the report, PTC provides the leading AR platform for connected workers in the market today for three reasons. First, PTC is the only vendor that offers a broad solution portfolio for different use cases and on different technical levels – deep code (Vuforia Engine™), low code (Vuforia Studio™), and no code (Vuforia Expert Capture™, Vuforia Instruct™, and Vuforia Chalk™). Second, PTC is the only vendor that strongly pushes the integration of AR with emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, SaaS, and spatial computing. Third, PTC has a strong vision for future AR integrations, bringing its Vuforia portfolio elements closer together to offer tightly integrated solutions for holistic work procedures.
In addition, the PAC Radar analysis recognizes PTC as the first vendor to integrate its AR and IoT capabilities – Vuforia and its ThingWorx® IIoT platform – acknowledging PTC's ability to harness the digital thread to create a closed loop between the digital and physical worlds and transform how products are engineered, manufactured, and serviced.
"No other vendor offers a broader solution portfolio for different use cases and on different technical levels" said Arnold Vogt, Head of Digital Innovation and IoT at PAC. "PTC has a clear vision and has already started to bring its Vuforia portfolio elements closer together to offer tightly integrated solutions for holistic work procedures."
"PTC is proud to be recognized as the leading AR platform for connected workers for the third consecutive year by the PAC Radar analysis," said Michael Campbell, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Augmented Reality Products, PTC. "The achievement emphasizes our commitment to offering the best-in-class augmented reality solutions that empower industrial enterprises and complete the digital thread."
