Gartner has issued its first Magic Quadrant for Industrial IoT Platforms. The report surveys this emerging market, defining IIoT platforms with specific must-have capabilities. The Magic Quadrant also designates PTC as an IIoT visionary, based on the highest ability to execute and the furthest completeness of vision.

Working together, ANSYS and PTC will deliver ANSYS Discovery Live real-time simulation within PTC’s Creo®3D CAD software. The combined solution will be sold by PTC as part of the Creo product suite. This solution will offer customers a unified modeling and simulation environment, removing the boundaries between CAD and simulation and enabling design engineers to gain insight into each of the many design decisions they make throughout the product development process. This insight will enable design engineers to create higher quality products, while reducing product and development costs.

Watch Michael E. Porter and James E. Heppelmann discuss how augmented reality helps companies take advantage of the wealth of digital data generated today. The proliferation of smart, connected devices and digital transformation initiatives are producing a deluge of digital information disconnected from the physical world in which humans must apply it. Augmented reality technology bridges this gap and can drive improvements in manufacturing quality, logistics, and customer experiences, among other areas. Watch the video here
