PTC announced new artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities for its FlexPLM® retail product lifecycle management (PLM) solution that automate tech pack creation, one of the most time-consuming and error-prone steps in retail product development. The new capabilities will debut at the National Retail Federation’s (NRF) Retail’s Big Show, January 11–13 in New York City. Traditionally, turning design sketches into production-ready specifications has been a manual, error-prone process involving many handoffs between design and development teams. Now, with the FlexPLM AI-driven tech pack generation capabilities, teams can automatically extract data from design drawings and instantly populate bills of materials (BOMs), measurements, construction details, attributes, and colorways. Eliminating manual data entry enables brands to reduce errors, lower development costs, accelerate sampling and costing, and respond faster to shifting market demand. “Bringing AI to FlexPLM is about more than automation; it’s a fundamental shift in how product development teams work,” said Kyle Marden, General Manager of PTC’s Retail Business Unit. “By

Trimble® announced that its cutting-edge positioning technology will supply crucial data used by the navigation and driver assistance systems in the new Lucid Gravity. By integrating Trimble RTX® and ProPoint Go™ technology, Lucid Gravity becomes the first EV to feature a resilient positioning engine in a system that can enable centimeter-level accuracy even in tunnels, parking garages and dense city centers where standard GPS often fails.
