Generative AI’s Impact on PLM
“Early adopters have demonstrated the potential of GenAI in PLM use cases, driving innovation, automation, and efficiency. But challenges like user confidence, data governance, and skills shortages persist.
In 2025, we’ll see a shift from prompt-based AI to agentic AI—autonomous background agents that make inferences and suggest optimizations without human intervention. These agents will analyze market trends, customer feedback, and performance data to generate new product concepts, streamline processes, and enhance sustainability. This evolution will transform PLM into an active partner in innovation, reducing time-to-market and improving operational efficiency.”
