When a global leader in infusion therapy, pain management technology, and support was developing more complex systems, they required an effective design control solution to support those efforts. SPK stepped in to help the medical company implement Windchill...
PTC NEXT Spring 2026 showcased a clear vision for the future of engineering software: connected product data, AI-powered workflows, modern cloud platforms, and an increasingly integrated digital thread spanning CAD, PLM, ALM, manufacturing, and service operations....
While the pressures of strict quality standards and expected innovation are not new for the aerospace and defense industry, they are becoming harder to manage with disconnected legacy tools, manual processes, and siloed product data. For these organizations, digital...
Traditional engineers often view data as a byproduct of the design process. They store data in static PDF reports or miscellaneous CAD files. However, as we enter the era of digital engineering, that perspective is shifting. Today, product data is no longer just a...
Complex product development involves multi-disciplinary teams, with systems engineers or requirements analysts producing the requirements, and other disciplines creating designs and tests based on those requirements. Serious problems can arise if all teams do not have...
For over 75 years A-Z has been a leading supplier of high quality merchandise and service to the global tire industry. In its German 15,000 m² production facility A-Z designs, manufactures and produces tire molds and containers as per customer specification....
Modern products are becoming increasingly more complex, combining mechanical engineering, embedded software, electronics, cloud connectivity, and regulatory requirements into a single development lifecycle. As that complexity grows, so does the importance of...
Every version of PTC Windchill eventually reaches an end-of-life milestone, and for organizations still running Windchill 12.1.2, that timeline is approaching quickly. As PTC continues to invest in Windchill 13 and newer releases, organizations using older...
In all of automotive history, vehicles have been defined by mechanical performance, hardware reliability, or manufacturing efficiency. That has all started to change as software, connectivity, autonomy, electrification, and personalized digital experiences become a...
Digital engineering is changing how companies design, build, and manufacture complex products. Instead of relying on disconnected documents and manual handoffs, organizations are moving toward digital threads, simulations, and AI-enabled workflows. However, digital...
Bringing a successful product to market takes much more than a strong design. Companies must manage a plethora of information. This includes requirements, data, revisions, manufacturing processes, quality controls, supplier collaboration, service information, and...
Hello, and welcome back to another SPK and Associates vlog. In this vlog, we're going to talk about how engineering organizations are evolving to support more complex multidisciplinary products. And with that, choosing the right platform that you're going to do all...
