Greater PLM benefits thanks to artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a disruptive technology, which in combination with other technologies is dramatically accelerating digital transformation of the economy and society. According to forecasts, it will trigger a surge in growth worth several trillions US dollars over the next few years. Companies that want to benefit from this surge in growth need to deal with the topic AI now.

AI promises exponential benefits in a variety of different application areas – from product development, production and quality assurance to service and operations. The digital data in existing enterprise applications provides the basis for the use of AI in engineering. As a dedicated PLM and ALM integration specialist, PROSTEP is the ideal partner for AI-based innovations in product development.

We will turn you into innovation leaders by integrating AI in your engineering processes and making it available for use for data extraction and processing.

Our focus is placed firmly on AI for PLM

PROSTEP places clear focus on the symbiosis of AI and PLM. We automate and optimize our customers' PLM processes with the help of the AI methods best suited to the use case in question. These include machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision. We build data models and make the information easier to interpret with the help of ontologies.

PROSTEP provides customers with support from start to finish when introducing AI. We develop a sustainable AI strategy for you, provide you with advice on technology selection and method development and help you with piloting and solution development. Strategy consulting often starts with a workshop during which we work with the customer to identify whether and in which areas it makes good economic sense to tackle an AI project.

The pillars of our AI strategy

Enabling AI

  • Conceptual design, development of an architecture and implementation of a platform for analysis and AI
  • Integration of AI tools in our OpenPDM integration platform in order to prepare and extract PLM data for analysis or training purposes

AI consulting

  • Creation of an AI strategy for your company
  • Identification of potential fields of application for AI in engineering, production and aftersales
  • Provision of support for the implementation of your AI project from design and change management to successful introduction.

Customized
AI solutions

  • Development of customer-specific AI solutions for PLM, ALM and engineering that make it possible to map existing knowledge
  • One example is an AI application that analyzes the likelihood of a change request being approved based on historical data
  • Another use case is the automatic classification of support requests into risk classes and assignment to the appropriate teams

AI in our
products

  • Development of new products and services, e.g. for the AI-based analysis and segmentation of 3D scan data for production systems for the purpose of creating digital twins
  • Integration of AI-based features in OpenPDM, e.g. for analyzing and improving data quality during migration
  • Integration of AI-based features for the automatic linking of information objects in our OpenCLM digital thread solution
