Autodesk, Inc. announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire MaintainX, a leading modern maintenance and operations solution, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.6 billion. Autodesk’s strategy is to converge design, make, and operate workflows, ensuring data and insights flow seamlessly in a continuous lifecycle. With the creation of Autodesk Operations Solutions (AOS), the company is bringing together its operations capabilities under a unified platform. The proposed acquisition of MaintainX is intended to strengthen Autodesk’s ability to connect operations workflows with the broader lifecycle, helping teams make faster, more informed decisions over time. Operations represents a significant opportunity for Autodesk and a natural extension of the company’s platform strategy. Organizations are increasingly looking to connect workflows, real-world performance, and lifecycle data to improve reliability and reduce downtime. Autodesk believes expanding further into operations will unlock higher-value system level AI, extend its duration with assets and systems from years to

Siemens has announced the expansion of the Simcenter advanced engineering simulation and test solutions portfolio with Simcenter™ PhysicsAI™ software, which empowers engineers to almost instantly evaluate bold design concepts and variations. Simcenter PhysicsAI brings proven geometric deep learning technology in Siemens’ Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+™ software to accelerate AI-powered design exploration. The new capabilities enable engineers to create highly efficient AI reduced-order models (ROMs) from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation data and to conduct what-if exploration in a fraction of the time (in the order of 1,000x faster) and with fewer computational resources than traditional workflows. “Engineering simulation isn’t limited by physics - it’s limited by how quickly we can explore possibilities. Our strategy is to help customers learn from past work, accelerate exploration, and use AI as a prescriptive engine for innovation. We’re not replacing deterministic truth - we’re making it scalable and immediate,” said Sam Mahalingam, executive vice president, Simulation, HPC and

ModuleWorks has announced the availability of its SmartRoughing technology as an add-in for Autodesk Fusion®. The add-in provides direct access to physics-based roughing within the Fusion 3-axis workflow, enabling cutting conditions to be optimized automatically rather than manually tuned. SmartRoughing is a physics-based 3-axis roughing solution designed to reduce manual optimization and guesswork in CNC programming. By analyzing part geometry together with machining physics and tooling data, SmartRoughing optimizes toolpaths for maximal material removal rates while maintaining balanced chip loads and stable cutting conditions. This helps CAM programmers achieve faster cycle times without overloading the machine and cutting tools. The SmartRoughing add-in combines ModuleWorks toolpath technology with a physics engine developed by Manufacturing Automation Laboratories Inc. (MAL) and lab-tested tooling data and expertise from Kennametal Inc. The system predicts cutting forces, accounts for real spindle power and torque limits, and automatically varies cutting parameters across the toolpath rather than relying on a single conservative setup. The technology is

HCLTech, a leading global technology company, announced the launch of an autonomous finance platform that transforms core finance and accounting operations using Gemini Enterprise. While enterprises make significant investments in core ERP and SaaS platforms, finance and accounting operations continue to rely heavily on manual intervention. The new platform is designed to address this gap by enabling finance processes to operate with a high degree of autonomy and intelligence, while integrating seamlessly with existing technology systems. Unlike traditional automation and isolated AI use cases, the platform orchestrates end-to-end finance processes autonomously — executing, learning and continuously optimizing workflows across Invoice-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) and Record-to-Report. This approach enables faster execution, improved control and measurable business outcomes for enterprise finance organizations. This enterprise-grade platform brings together Google’s Gemini Enterprise AI stack and secure cloud infrastructure with HCLTech’s deep finance domain expertise, engineering capabilities and operations experience. The Autonomous Finance platform leverages
