This year, PROSTEP is celebrating an anniversary that is not very common in the relatively young PLM (Product Life Cycle) industry. 30 years ago, PROSTEP’s initial focus was on topics such as STEP and CAD data exchange which evolved to include expertise in vendor neutral PLM integration. Today, Digital Twins, Digital Threads, Embedded Software, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are also central to PROSTEP’s offerings and R&D investments. At its core, PROSTEP has always been about the central challenge of strengthening our customers' ability to innovate by improving their digital continuity.

PROSTEP has launched the new version 3.0 of its digital thread solution, OpenCLM, which can now be integrated into customers' IT landscapes even more easily. The information in the connected IT systems can also be linked with each other with a greater degree of flexibility. Improvements to the dashboards and graph visualization ensure that the information is displayed more clearly and concisely.

The VVMethods project was brought to a successful close at the end of last year with a conference at the Carl Benz Arena in Stuttgart, which was attended in person by 300 people and over 600 people online. Important contributions made by PROSTEP include SysML-based documentation of the overall method and its implementation in the TRACY demonstrator. This means that it be used as a blueprint for industrial implementation.

Metaverses for industry and companies are no longer a vision of the future but are already creating significant added value and will have a lasting impact on the way we do business. This is shown by the study "Metaverse at Work" by EY in collaboration with Nokia, for which 860 managers from four key industries in North and South America, Europe and Asia were interviewed.

The joint project ImPaKT funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has come to a successful conclusion after three years. As part of this project, PROSTEP developed and tested a reference process for cross-domain impact analyses and a reference model for linking the required information. The information to be linked was prepared using artificial intelligence (AI).

PROSTEP also provides its PLM integration platform OpenPDM as Software as a Service (SaaS) with the aim of making it easier to integrate cloud-based enterprise applications. Based on our platform, we have developed a new, cloud-enabled standard integration between PTC's cloud-based PLM solution Arena and the ERP solution SAP S/4HANA for a well-known medical equipment manufacturer.
