PTC announced the release of its Arena product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) AI Assistant, designed to help teams work more efficiently. The Arena AI Assistant provides context-aware guidance for PLM and QMS workflows through a conversational interface, assisting with engineering change orders, corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs), traceability, compliance, and related tasks. It is available directly within the Arena user interface and draws on Arena Help materials and other resources.
Key features of Arena AI Assistant include:
- Natural language interaction in a conversational interface, embedded directly in the Arena experience
- Configurable within Arena interfaces to support guided steps through different workflows – from bill of material reviews and change orders to CAPAs and supply chain risk monitoring
- Available in more than 15 languages to support global engineering teams
- Updated with each new Arena release, keeping it up to date with the latest functionality and most efficient ways of working
In addition to the launch of Arena AI Assistant, this release strengthens supply chain resiliency through new Arena Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) and Onshape-Arena Connection features. Arena SCI monitors supply chain conditions to identify potential risks and integrates AI-driven component tracking and risk insights directly into product development workflows, reducing the need for separate supply chain tools. The Onshape-Arena Connection allows mechanical engineers to manage release, revision, and change processes between CAD and PLM systems, helping streamline product development and collaboration with supply chain partners.
