AI in PLM & Digital Engineering: Impact, Integration & Future

Watch how AI in PLM is transforming product development, engineering workflows, and the future of the digital thread. In this episode of the Pulling the Digital Thread series, industry experts from Aras, Microsoft, Razorleaf, Fraunhofer IEM, and AI Marketplace explore the rapidly evolving role of AI in PLM and AI in digital engineering.

In this episode, you will:
- Learn about the evolving role of PLM copilots in streamlining daily tasks and boosting productivity
- Explore how AI in PLM enables low-code development for new reports and applications
- See how AI-discovered relationships enhance the digital thread, driving deeper insight and integration
- Understand advances in MBSE democratization, system optimization, and the expanding impact of advanced simulation
- Gain perspective on the future of generative design and what it means for engineering innovation

Panelists:
Guy Bursell – Business Strategy Leader, Manufacturing & Mobility Industry at Microsoft
Rik Rasor – Co-CEO, AI Marketplace and Researcher at Fraunhofer IEM
Jonathan Scott – Chief Architect, Razorleaf Corporation
Rob McAveney – Chief Technology Officer, Aras

Critical takeaway: AI success depends on a strong digital thread foundation. Without connected, high-quality product data across engineering, manufacturing, and service, organizations will struggle to fully realize the benefits of AI. PLM platforms like Aras Innovator play a central role in enabling this connectivity and supporting scalable AI adoption.
