PTC’s technology combined with Cognizant’s intelligent product design and industry expertise is changing how manufacturers drive better outcomes in a connected world.

Building an end-to-end ecosystem to innovate and design products to be smart and connected can be a huge undertaking for most companies. It requires the expert know-how, capital and acceleration to market to disrupt.

PTC, a leader in IoT platforms as well as product software for CAD, PLM, SLM and ALM, is partnering with Cognizant to help global companies innovate the next generation of products, services and business models. Our combined knowledge of the market, channel dynamics, and user expectations, in conjunction with our multi-disciplinary expertise across digital (strategy, design thinking, digital engineering, IoT, analytics, mobile, cloud) enables us to blend together solutions that drive real outcomes and efficiencies for our clients.

We are working with manufacturing, medical device, pharma and retail companies to help transform their operations and their products to design in intelligence and connectivity for greater efficiency and performance.

PTC’s ThingWorx platform was purpose-built to fundamentally change how companies use data to connect, analyze, manage, monetize, and experience all “things” in a smart, connected world.

KEY SERVICES

INTERNET OF THINGS

Digital Transformation with the Internet of Things

IoT solutions can transform how companies get connected with the data flow from anything--machines, assets, products, services and employees-- and understand how to use the data to discover new insights to improve operations and make better business decisions. PTC’s IoT platform provides companies the software, security, data, and business analytics to foundationally power-up an IoT solution that transforms how they operate seamlessly from the top floor to the shop floor.

Bringing the best capabilities of both companies, PTC and Cognizant are helping clients implement IoT solution based on Industry 4.0 framework that blend intelligent product design, the IoT ecosystem, industry and technology domain expertise with PTC’s IoT ThingWorx platform to collect data, and enable companies to act on real-time intelligence to drive the best business outcomes.

Over the last year, we have integrated Cognizant’s Asset Performance Excellence (APEx™) solution, built on PTC’s ThingWorx platform, to help manufacturers accelerate the delivery of IoT solutions based on Industry 4.0 framework and effectively reduce cost, improve quality and operational efficiencies.

SMART MANUFACTURING

Operational Excellence with Smart Connected Operations

Smart Manufacturing solutions power a new level of connectedness and intelligence for operators of factories, plants, supply chains and fleets to leverage the IoT to connect the assets they own with their operations and business systems. PTC ThingWorx represents the next-generation IoT platform for manufacturing operations and brings together the key functionalities of IoT connectivity, interoperability, Web 2.0, search, and social collaboration to boost operational excellence.

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

Intelligent, Connected Product Design

As products become more sophisticated, manufacturing them becomes increasingly complex. Without a complete digital definition of a product, traditional product development process can become inefficient. These factors result in products arriving late to market.  PTC’s digital engineering in combination with their CAD, PLM, ALM, SLM technology helps companies use data to optimize how they engineer, manufacturer and service smart, connected products.

PTC technology, in combination with Cognizant’s Intelligent Product Engineering solutions, can help manufacturers:

• Design for Connectivity - Both real and virtual sensors are implemented into product designs for continuous feedback
• Data Driven Design - Products collect essential data throughout their own operational phases
• Digital Twin - Track products through their entire product lifecycle virtually
• User Experience and Design Thinking - Cohesive approach to multi-dimension product design that brings together the knowledge of human behavior to design the best user experience.

AUGMENTED REALITY

Augmented Reality Empowers Humans Virtually

PTC’s Augmented Reality (AR) solutions integrated with IoT empowers innovators and developers to build immersive AR experiences that transform the way users create, operate and service products in a connected world.
