Master Product Complexity for Faster Machinery Development
Industry Talk: Explore why AI alone will not help you accelerate in complex machinery development | June 25th | 11am EST, 5pm CEST
A Digital Thread Beyond Plugged-Together Systems
For the development of long-lived, complex, capital-intensive machinery in harsh, safety-critical environments, traditional approaches fall short. That's why we provide smart digital solutions that allow you to leverage product data and AI product development, eliminating fragmentation and bottlenecks.
What if you could:
- Instantly accelerate product development and time-to-market, regardless of your current IT landscape?
- Eliminate fragmented Digital Thread development with a ready-to-populate, seamlessly connected framework?
- Position for future innovation and optimization, enabling smarter, faster processes as your PLM journey evolves?
With a truly connected Digital Thread – a unified whole, not just disparate systems plugged together – these aspirations become your new reality. In our live talk, you'll learn how to get there.

Industry Talk: The AI Reality Check
Why AI alone will not help you accelerate complex machinery development
"We added AI, but it didn’t fix anything."
We've all heard the big promises of AI for engineering. But if your team's valuable AI projects are still struggling with messy data, delivering unreliable insights, or just adding another layer of complexity to your product development, it's time for a reality check. This Industry Talk cuts through the hype, showing you what it actually takes to make AI deliver real results.
- Why most AI initiatives fall short in complex product data environments
- The non-negotiable foundation needed for AI to deliver reliable insights
- Practical strategies to embed AI within your engineering environment

Your Unique Benefits
Your Challenge: Diverse teams, specialized tools, and incompatible data formats create isolated information, leading to communication breakdowns, costly rework, and fragmented product definitions.
Our Solution: CONTACT Elements integrates seamlessly with all leading MCAD, ECAD, and Office applications. It provides BOM-driven data organization, intelligent version control, and universal access, allowing all stakeholders to visually navigate and interrogate product structures.
Your Benefits: Single Source of Truth, drastically reduced errors, faster decision-making, cross-functional team alignment, streamlined product definition
Your Challenge: Critical product data (CAD, code, docs) is "dumped" into generic systems, making it impossible to find current, approved files or ensure accurate traceability. This causes wasted hours, rework, and delayed releases.
Our Solution: With CONTACT Elements, all product data is automatically aligned with the Bill of Materials (BOM) and self-organized into intuitive hierarchies. Deep search, BOM navigation, and clear Engineering Release/Change workflows ensure effortless access to the precise, correct version.
Your Benefits: Instant access to current data for your teams, acceleration of critical phases, and full auditability for compliance
Your Challenge: Managing different BOM views (Engineering, Manufacturing, Service) is a herculean task across scattered systems or error-prone spreadsheets, hindering efficient production planning and market entry.
Our Solution: CONTACT Elements automatically generates the initial Engineering BOM from CAD data and simplifies the management of subsequent views. It intelligently relates components without duplicating data, ensuring consistency across all BOM views.
Your Benefits: Streamlined product structure definition, efficient change propagation, drastically reduced time for manufacturing and service preparation, and enhanced cross-disciplinary understanding
Your Challenge: Complex product launches face delays from fragmented data, slow decisions, and inefficient design reuse. Leveraging existing IP and insights from vast product data is often a manual, time-consuming process.
Our Solution: CONTACT Elements' AI Assistants provide deep semantic understanding of all product information for instant answers and AI product development. 3D Similarity Search intelligently identifies existing or similar parts across text, image, and 3D CAD data, eliminating manual searches.
Your Benefits: Drastically reduced development time, optimized design processes, significantly faster time-to-market, and intelligent reuse of intellectual property
Your Challenge: Fragmented point solutions, vendor lock-in, lengthy PLM software deployments, and siloed "Mini-Digital Threads" delay value and create continuous integration headaches.
Our Solution: CONTACT Elements delivers all capabilities within a single, powerful, CAD-vendor-neutral cloud platform. It provides a comprehensive, pre-made Digital Thread foundation that links all your product data from design to service.
Your Benefits: Rapid time-to-value (weeks, not months/years), increased flexibility, reduced IT complexity, avoidance of vendor lock-in, and holistic, integrated digital backbone assurance
Your Challenge: Effectively leveraging vast, complex product data for future innovation and informed decision-making becoming increasingly difficult, especially as AI and digitalization trends evolve.
Our Solution: Built on its robust, seamless Digital Thread, CONTACT Elements incorporates AI capabilities that are inherently prepared to support your journey, enhancing data utilization and decision-making for complex machinery.
Your Benefits: Enhanced data utilization, smarter and more proactive decision-making, continuously optimized processes, and future-proofed product development and operations
Pocket Guide: When Product Data Doesn't Line Up...
… everything slows down. Did you know that engineers spend up to 27% of their time searching for information? This highlights the urgent need for robust digital product lifecycle management. Crucially, AI product development can only be as effective as the consistent data it relies on, a foundation often lacking due to these disconnections. In our short guide we explain the Why and the How.
