PLM Road Map & PDT Europe 2025

Digital transformation in a manufacturing company involves integrating digital technologies into all phases across the product’s life cycle. This transformation aims to optimise operations, enhance productivity, and improve decision-making through data-driven insights. Beyond optimisation, digital transformation can also disrupt markets and organisations, making what was previously considered impossible the new normal.

A true digital transformation is not going to take place without a modern enterprise-level Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) approach that:

• Establishes a comprehensive PLM digital transformation program.
• Secures executive sponsorship to drive transformation initiatives.
• Implements organisational change management (OCM) from the departmental to the enterprise level.
• Incorporates digital engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) strategies and trends.
• Augments the workforce with technologies supporting the Human in the Loop, such as AI/ML, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and Simulation.
• Ensures robust data governance and enterprise data modeling.
• Develop strategies for achieving interoperability, openness, and leveraging the role of standards.
• Integrates designing for sustainability and other sustainability strategies.
• Defines value and implements digital twins and digital threads.
• Expands PLM capabilities beyond the concept and development stages to the full lifecycle.
• Elevates PLM from engineering to an enterprise business solution.

Digital transformation is inherently disruptive, and PLM has historically been an enabler and integrator across the community of knowledge workers who create and consume product information. But times have changed.

PLM Road Map and PDT 2025 will build on what is possible when PLM is aligned with Digital Transformation and will show how to make this happen, providing an environment where you can learn, discuss, and collaboratively move product lifecycle digitalisation forward.

Building on prior conferences, our agenda will offer a mix of reports and case studies shared by industry experts, covering the people, process, and technology aspects of product life cycle digitalisation. Join your peers at PLM Road Map and PDT 2025 to learn, discuss, and collaborate to help move product lifecycle digitalisation forward.
