New cloud-native supply chain offering delivers supply chain risk insights directly into product lifecycle management.
PTC has released a new Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) feature for its Arena product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) solution. The Arena SCI feature integrates real-time, AI-based component monitoring and risk insights into product development workflows. It is designed to help teams identify and address supply chain risks as they arise, without relying on separate tools, and to support component risk management throughout the product lifecycle.
Product development and introduction teams can use Arena SCI to continuously monitor electronic components across bills of materials to identify emerging risks from changing supply chain conditions. When risks are detected, Arena SCI provides visibility, suggests alternative components based on technical compatibility, and enables teams to make more informed sourcing decisions earlier in the product development process—helping prevent sourcing interruptions before they impact production.
Arena SCI uses electronic component data from Accuris to provide detailed risk information and suggest alternative parts, helping teams manage disruptions and maintain project timelines and budgets.
Arena’s cloud-based PLM and QMS solutions support product development, quality management, and supply chain collaboration for nearly 1,500 manufacturers worldwide, including Nutanix, Insulet, and Enphase Energy. Since joining PTC, Arena has entered new international markets, introduced more than 16 product updates, and expanded its partner network to help companies improve product delivery and adapt to changing market conditions. With Arena and PTC’s Onshape cloud-native CAD and product data management (PDM) platform, PTC introduced the first cloud-native CAD-PDM-PLM offering to support cross-functional product development—reducing friction, costs, and coding that typically occurs when trying to connect design and development systems.
