<div style=”text-align: center;”><strong>Download Case Study</strong></div>

A global discrete manufacturer wanted to connect PLM, manufacturing, and service data into a single digital thread and enable engineers to query product data using natural language. PROLIM built a Generative AI–powered digital thread platform on AWS, enabling intelligent search, automated insights, and faster engineering decisions using PLM and operational data.

  • PLM, MES, and service data stored in disconnected systems
  • Engineers spent hours searching CAD, BOMs, and change histories
  • No AI-driven knowledge discovery across product lifecycle
  • Limited scalability for AI workloads on legacy infrastructure

  • Amazon Bedrockfor GenAI-powered engineering assistant
  • Amazon OpenSearchfor vector search across PLM and CAD metadata
  • AWS Lambda & Step Functionsfor PLM sync workflows
  • Amazon S3 Data Lakefor CAD, BOM, and document storage
  • AWS IoT SiteWiseto enrich PLM data with production context
  • IAM, KMS, GuardDutyfor enterprise security

  • Natural language access to PLM, BOM, and engineering data
  • Faster engineering change impact analysis
  • Improved collaboration between design, manufacturing, and service
  • Foundation for AI copilots across the product lifecycle

  • 60% reduction in time spent searching engineering data
  • 40% faster engineering change approvals
  • Single digital thread across PLM and manufacturing
  • First step toward AI-powered smart manufacturing

The AWS-powered PLM Sync and 3D Rendering solution enabled faster visualization, real-time version accuracy, and seamless global collaboration. With reduced IT costs and improved engineering efficiency, the company now operates on a more scalable, cloud-driven foundation for future digital transformation.
