PTC announced this week accelerated plans to help automotive companies convert their existing PTC software assets to subscription licenses, as well as develop next-generation vehicles using the ThingWorx Industrial Innovation Platform as a product development/production platform.
For decades, PTC has served many of the companies in the industry, providing a robust product development/production system platform that has spurred innovation and improved operational efficiency. Currently, the next-generation vehicle development environment is moving at unprecedented speed, and PTC believes converting to subscription licenses will enable customers to flexibly adapt to changing business requirements.
PTC believes there is pressing urgency for companies to adapt to diversifying values, changing lifestyles, and challenging environmental conditions, as well as to capitalize on opportunities present in the IoT, AI, and other types of information technology.
As such, PTC will accelerate its efforts to help automotive companies with their global digitalization strategies, offering a range of services and technology, including its ThingWorx Industrial Innovation Platform.
