PTC debuts the PTC Orbit cloud-native asset intelligence solution. The product connects product lifecycle management, enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, Internet of Things, enterprise asset management, and field service management systems into a single, unified asset record.

PTC Orbit applies AI to make asset information accessible, explorable, and actionable across engineering teams, according to PTC.

PTC Orbit supports three  functions:

  • Asset data consolidation: Connects and reconciles asset data from PLM, ERP, CRM, IoT, EAM, FSM, and other enterprise systems to create a unified, as-maintained view of each asset.
  • AI-powered lifecycle intelligence: Applies AI to detect service patterns and failure trends, calculate asset health scores, and forecast service and maintenance demand by asset group, account, and region.
  • AI‑assisted access and interaction: Enables teams in the enterprise to interact with asset data through an AI canvas that surfaces insights based on user context.

“Asset data has always existed everywhere, but nowhere could it truly be used,” says Joseph June, general manager of SLM and AI Strategy, PTC. “With PTC Orbit, we built a new AI-first solution from the ground up to be the system of record for asset intelligence. With this new solution, we’re shifting asset data from something teams manage after the fact to something they can use proactively across the entire product lifecycle.”

PTC Orbit was showcased at the PTC NEXT Chicago event in June 2026 at the Swissôtel Chicago.
