What's stopping your AI from delivering real insight? Usually it's not the AI. It's the data behind it. For many manufacturers, critical information is trapped across PLM, ERP, MES, QMS, CRM, and more. Disconnected systems mean disconnected insights. CLOVER connects and normalizes your product and manufacturing data while preserving the security you already have in place. With built-in patterns for BOMs, requirements, change management, and supplier exchanges, it helps you: * Break down silos * Accelerate the digital thread * Create a foundation AI can actually use Right data. Right place. Right format. Right time. Ready to connect the dots? Watch our New CLOVER Video Here: youtube.com/watch?v=iI1CYmEk… Before you ask what AI can do for your business, ask whether your data is ready for it. #DigitalThread #PLM #AI #Manufacturing #DigitalEngineering #DataIntegration

AI BROKE OUT OF THE SANDBOX. NOW WHAT? In this episode of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott welcome Nick Link, co-founder of Bitoda, to explore AI agent safety, security, and the risks of moving beyond test environments. They discuss real-world AI incidents, the importance of guardrails, and why organizations should treat AI agents like new hires—as powerful tools that require oversight and accountability. AI is moving into real engineering and manufacturing workflows. The challenge is using it strategically, safely, and responsibly. The sandbox door is open. Are you ready?

AI BROKE OUT OF THE SANDBOX. NOW WHAT? In this episode of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott are joined by Nick Link, co-founder of Bitoda to discuss what happens when AI agents break out of their test environments. They unpack recent high-profile incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic, define key concepts like safety, security, and deterministic guardrails, and explain why treating AI agents like new hires is the safest way to bring AI into engineering and manufacturing organizations. AI is no longer just experimenting behind the scenes. It's moving into real-world engineering workflows, influencing decisions, accelerating development, and changing how organizations design, build, and deliver. The future of digital engineering isn't just about adopting AI. It's about knowing how to use it strategically, responsibly, and effectively. The sandbox door is open. Are you ready for what comes next?

Two weeks to go! Jonathan Scott is heading to PLM Road Map & PDT EMEA 2026 in Sweden, co-hosted by CIMdata and Eurostep. It’s always a highlight for the digital engineering community. Expect great speakers (thanks to Håkan Kårdén and team). Jonathan is just as excited about the conversations on the side. It’s an exciting time in digital engineering, and he’s looking forward to joining colleagues for interesting discussions on where PLM and the digital thread are headed. Will you be there? Let Jonathan know so you can find time to connect! #PLM #DigitalThread #DigitalEngineering #CIMdata #Eurostep

When a regional conflict damaged part of an energy operator’s pipeline network, the question was how fast the team could safely redirect production. Traditionally, that kind of re-planning could take weeks. With Geminus AI, recommendations were ready in a few days. On Episode 157 of Stay Sharp in Digital Engineering, kicking off another Digital Product Series conversation, hosts Juliann Grant and Jonathan Scott welcome back Prithvi Singh Chauhan, Machine Learning Engineer at Geminus AI, to talk about computational autonomy. The idea is not to replace the physics-based simulators engineering teams already trust. It’s to add a decision layer on top of them that turns complex simulations into operational recommendations. You’ll hear how it: 🔹 Builds models from trusted simulators 🔹 Monitors accuracy against live operational data and flags drift 🔹 Builds uncertainty into every decision 🔹 Connects individual assets into larger systems 🔹 Supports both optimization and predictive maintenance If you work with simulation, digital twins, or high-consequence operational decisions, this one is for you.
