Aras revolutionizes PLM: AI assistance and new data integration launched!

The increasing complexity in the manufacturing industry and the rapid increase in data flows present companies with new challenges. This applies in particular to Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), which, according to the statements by OTS greatly changed. To meet these requirements, Aras presents two innovative solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI).

The first development, Aras InnovatorEdge, is a low-code API framework designed to integrate and efficiently manage data. This solution makes it possible to build bridges between PLM and other essential systems such as CAD, ERP and supply chain tools. An example of this is the automatic transfer of design data from a 3D CAD system to ERP material planning.

Integration of AI for enhanced efficiency

The second solution is an AI-powered search and assistance service that integrates the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service and Microsoft Copilot Studio. This AI-powered search enables access to relevant information from diverse data sources, including Excel, PDF and CAD data. Through natural language processing, the AI ​​assistant can generate precise answers, which not only increases efficiency in product development, but also significantly improves the quality and speed of market entry.

Microsoft's Dayan Rodriguez highlights that the combination of Aras' experience and the powerful capabilities of Azure AI offers significant benefits to customers. This synergy is crucial as the importance of PLM will continue to grow in the coming years with increased integration of AI. Companies that do not invest in such technologies risk falling behind the competition in digital transformation.

Industry trends and future challenges

According to the report by FactoryNet The AI ​​revolution is already well underway in many industries, whether in the automotive industry, which is experimenting with AI-driven design processes, or in the chemical industry, which is using intelligent systems to achieve sustainability goals. In mechanical engineering, AI enables navigation through complex global supply chains.

In 2025, AI is expected to be a central part of any corporate strategy aimed at long-term success and competitiveness. Aras is positioning itself with its latest developments to help companies manage the complexities of digital transformation and stay relevant. A lack of investment in AI technologies and the necessary cloud infrastructure could have fatal consequences for companies.
