Free Webinar "Industrial AI in Smart Manufacturing: Technology Trends and Implementation Challenges for 2026" to be held on August 6.

The environment surrounding the manufacturing industry is rapidly changing, with advancements in products, software integration, shorter delivery times, and increasing quality demands. In this context, the "Digital Thread," which centralizes product data management from design to manufacturing to service and enables AI-driven decision-making, is gaining attention. This seminar will introduce the latest trends in PLM utilizing AI, based on the concept of "Intelligent Product Lifecycle (IPL)" proposed by PTC. We will also clearly explain the latest features of Windchill AI, such as information retrieval, design support, and business automation, along with demonstrations of the role of PLM required in the AI era. This seminar is recommended for those considering PLM renewal or looking to leverage product information and promote design and development digital transformation (DX). We look forward to your participation.

The use of cloud services and the promotion of digital transformation (DX) are making IT environments increasingly complex. Along with this, the management of privileged IDs faces challenges not only from the risks of human error and operational oversights but also from increased operational burdens. Therefore, it is essential to create a system that can be managed efficiently and securely without relying on manual processes. In this seminar, we will clearly explain the key points for ensuring reliable operations while minimizing the burden of privileged ID management. Additionally, we will introduce the main features and specific usage methods of the privileged ID management tool "SecureCube Access Check," including demonstrations and case studies. <Agenda> 11:05 - 11:20 Session 1: The Importance of Privileged ID Management and Implementation Points 11:20 - 12:00 Session 2: Main Features and Usage of SecureCube Access Check
