PTC Comments on Strategic Partnership

Jim Heppelmann, the CEO of PTC, expressed satisfaction with the fruitful and mutually beneficial partnership with Rockwell over the past five years. Heppelmann further emphasized that the industrial IoT solutions offered by PTC would deliver tangible benefits to customers of Rockwell Automation. Moreover, he outlined the company’s objective of generating a wide range of innovative applications in the manufacturing sector, including but not limited to asset monitoring, quality control inspections, and predictive maintenance.

Key Technologies of the Industrial Metaverse

Extended reality technologies are increasingly dependent on the industrial metaverse for numerous enterprises. These tools serve as the foundation for securing supply chains and shaping the future of product design.

Companies can integrate emerging technologies like AI, digital twins, 5G, blockchain, cryptocurrency, and XR devices into their workflows. By doing so, they can develop optimized and automated systems with the help of industrial Internet of Things tools.

During a recent IIoT event, GE Digital CTO Dr. Colin Parris further elaborated on the importance of these building blocks in the industrial metaverse. He highlighted the strategic adoption of immersive technologies, contributing to an expanding ecosystem of technologies and use cases.

TeamViewer’s Solution Delivery Senior VP, Brian Ballard, emphasized that integrating these technologies would result in enhanced and interconnected data utilization. He highlighted that this integration would improve feedback loops for real-time analysis, monitoring, and utilization of digital twins. Ballard further elaborated that this advancement would allow products and services to operate precisely as intended, eliminating the need for estimations.

The impact of these advancements would extend to various downstream effects in production processes. Key metrics, such as reducing time to production, accelerating time to market, optimizing expenses, minimizing errors, and maximizing return on investment (ROI), would experience downstream improvements.
