Top 9: CAD with Apple Vision Pro
PTC has now become the first CAD and PLM provider to launch an app for Apple Vision Pro. It transforms flat screen models into virtual products that developers can explore, take apart and test as if they had already been produced.
Top 8: Machine learning in cyber security
Machine learning holds great potential for cyber security - but there is a lot to consider when implementing it in a corporate context. Experts from Palo Alto Networks provide an overview.
Top 7: Automation in the high-voltage sector
High-voltage direct current transmission is increasingly being used to transmit large amounts of energy over long distances. An application example from Siemens Energy shows what such a solution has to do with model-based engineering and PC-based control.
Top 6: The dark side of AI
Artificial intelligence can optimize all industrial manufacturing processes - from production and plant monitoring to supply chain management. However, a hasty deployment could result in technical debt for the company.
