PTC announced the release of its Arena product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) solution's new Supply Chain Intelligence (SCI) offering. The Arena SCI offering continuously checks for emerging risks from evolving supply chain conditions and eliminates the need for disconnected supply chain tools by embedding real-time, AI-driven component monitoring and risk mitigation insight directly into product development workflows. These capabilities transform how product development teams manage component risks throughout the entire product lifecycle within their existing PLM environment.

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--hel helping prevent sourcing interruptions before they impact production. Arena SCI leverages the leading electronic component data source from Accuris to provide comprehensive electronic risk details and suggest alternative parts - enabling faster time-to-market while reducing the potential for added costs from continual, unanticipated disruptions.

Arena's cloud-native PLM and QMS solutions are the trusted source for product development, quality management, and multi-tiered supply chain collaboration for nearly 1,500 global manufacturers, including Nutanix, Insulet, and Enphase Energy. Since being acquired by PTC, Arena has expanded into new international markets, introduced over 16 product releases, and added dozens of partners to help companies and their global teams deliver high-quality products faster while navigating market disruptions. With Arena and PTC's Onshape cloud-native computer-aided design (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.
