PTC Announces AI-Powered Asset Intelligence Solution "PTC Orbit" for Manufacturing

Collects and integrates data from multiple systems such as PLM, ERP, CRM, IoT, EAM, and FSM to comprehensively manage asset data and provide a single, unified asset view.

AI-first design visualizes failure patterns, fleet-level insights, and quality signals that were previously unobservable by engineering and quality management teams.

Facilitates exploration of asset data, problem analysis, and response, supporting initiatives focused on reliability improvement and revenue generation.

PTC (NASDAQ: PTC), headquartered in Boston, MA, USA, today announced the launch of its cloud-native asset intelligence solution, "PTC OrbitTM," designed to bridge the gap between the "as-designed" and "as-maintained" states of products. PTC Orbit integrates various systems, including PLM, ERP, CRM, IoT, EAM, and FSM, into a single, unified asset record, enabling visualization, analysis, and utilization of asset information through AI. This further extends the value of an intelligent product lifecycle across engineering, quality, and service teams.

Manufacturing companies invest heavily in product lifecycle management from design to manufacturing, with PLM systems managing all revisions, configuration changes, and engineering change orders. However, once a product is shipped, structured traceability is lost, and asset data becomes fragmented across multiple systems in its "as-maintained" state. PTC Orbit functions as a continuously updated system to address this challenge, providing an environment where all teams can share an accurate and up-to-date unified asset view. This promotes closed-loop product reliability improvements, proactive service readiness, and support for aftermarket revenue programs.

"Data fragmentation is one of the most persistent challenges hindering operational efficiency improvements in manufacturing," said Eric Kaese, leader of Field Service Management at Deloitte. "Solutions like PTC Orbit provide companies with opportunities to deepen their capabilities, move beyond reactive decision-making, and transition to more scalable, insight-driven operations."

"At Southern Water, over 25% of our wastewater level monitoring devices were constantly offline, and we needed a way to gain a unified view of the status and risks across our entire network," said Andrew Oliver, Head of Operational Technology Platform at Southern Water. "PTC Orbit meets this need, enabling us to prioritize high-risk areas, optimize field operations, and execute data-driven investment decisions at scale."

PTC Orbit primarily offers the following three functions:

Asset Data Integration: Collects and integrates data from systems such as PLM, ERP, CRM, IoT, EAM, and FSM, providing a single view of the "as-maintained" state of each asset.

AI-Powered Lifecycle Intelligence: Utilizes AI to analyze failure patterns and service trends. It predicts asset health scores and service/maintenance demand by asset group, customer, and region.

AI-Powered Data Access and Interaction: Enables enterprise-wide teams to interact with asset data through an AI canvas, dynamically presenting insights based on user context. It goes beyond static dashboards to provide necessary information on demand.

"Asset data has traditionally existed everywhere but has not been readily usable," said Joseph June, General Manager of SLM and AI Strategy at PTC. "PTC Orbit was built from the ground up as a new, AI-first solution that functions as an asset intelligence system. This solution transforms asset data from something managed retrospectively into an asset that can be proactively leveraged throughout the entire product lifecycle."

PTC Orbit was announced at "PTC NEXT Chicago," held from June 9-10 in Chicago, USA. The "PTC NEXT On-Demand Experience Hub" allows all customers and partners, regardless of attendance, to view content shared at the event and additional materials.

Through its product portfolio, including PTC Orbit, PTC is advancing its vision of an "Intelligent Product Lifecycle." This empowers manufacturing and product companies to build a foundation of product data, extend its value across the enterprise, and accelerate AI-driven transformation. By broadly utilizing product data, companies can bring higher quality products to market faster, manage product complexity more effectively, and respond to regulatory and compliance requirements.
