What's stopping your AI from delivering real insight? Usually it's not the AI. It's the data behind it. For many manufacturers, critical information is trapped across PLM, ERP, MES, QMS, CRM, and more. Disconnected systems mean disconnected insights. CLOVER connects and normalizes your product and manufacturing data while preserving the security you already have in place. With built-in patterns for BOMs, requirements, change management, and supplier exchanges, it helps you: * Break down silos * Accelerate the digital thread * Create a foundation AI can actually use Right data. Right place. Right format. Right time. Ready to connect the dots? Watch our New CLOVER Video Here: youtube.com/watch?v=iI1CYmEk… Before you ask what AI can do for your business, ask whether your data is ready for it. #DigitalThread #PLM #AI #Manufacturing #DigitalEngineering #DataIntegration

What happens when critical engineering systems go down—and the cloud isn't an option?

IS PLM DEAD? 20 MILLION SEATS SAY OTHERWISE! Some say PLM has had its day. But with approximately 20 million installed seats worldwide and a $20 billion market, the numbers tell a very different story. In Episode 159 of Stay Sharp, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott welcome Andreas Lindenthal of PLMadvisors, a PLM veteran with more than 25 years of industry experience, to challenge the “PLM is dead” narrative. What’s next for PLM? - How will AI transform the way we interact with product data? - Why is the digital thread becoming an enterprise-wide priority? - Is the real challenge technology—or how organizations use it? PLM isn't dead. It's evolving—and AI could be the catalyst for its next big chapter.

When a regional conflict damaged part of an energy operator’s pipeline network, the question was how fast the team could safely redirect production. Traditionally, that kind of re-planning could take weeks. With Geminus AI, recommendations were ready in a few days. On Episode 157 of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, kicking off another Digital Product Series conversation, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott welcome back Prithvi Singh Chauhan, Machine Learning Engineer at Geminus AI, to talk about computational autonomy. The idea is not to replace the physics-based simulators engineering teams already trust. It’s to add a decision layer on top of them that turns complex simulations into operational recommendations. You’ll hear how it: 🔹 Builds models from trusted simulators 🔹 Monitors accuracy against live operational data and flags drift 🔹 Builds uncertainty into every decision 🔹 Connects individual assets into larger systems 🔹 Supports both optimization and predictive maintenance If you work with simulation, digital twins, or high-consequence operational decisions, this one is for you.
