A new article from PTC Arena Solutions profiles an example of how PLM software helps global battery companies navigate growth and challenges. The author Joseph Prock writes:
“Product lifecycle management is playing a pivotal role in supporting the battery industry. PLM systems provide a centralized location to manage all product-related information, ensuring that information is consistent, current, and accessible to all stakeholders. This centralized product record facilitates better collaboration among teams, from research and development to manufacturing and quality assurance, leading to more efficient and streamlined processes.
PLM is significantly transforming the battery industry by helping streamline product development processes, enhance innovation, sustain compliance with industry regulations, and helping the industry to meet the growing demand for efficient, high-quality, and sustainable battery solutions.”

The new whitepaper “A Practical Guide to the Digital Product Passport” from PTC Arena Solutions is one of the most comprehensive introductions to the Digital Product Passport (DPP) for PLM professionals.
The paper covers the following topics:
The Concept Behind the Digital Product Passport (DPP)
Understanding DPP Laws, Regulations, and Business Requirements
Industries Affected by the DPP Mandate
What Type of Information Is Stored Inside a DPP?
Blockchain Technology: The Foundation for Building a DPP
Getting Started With DPP
Companies Are Using PLM to Manage DPP Information
PLM Capabilities Used to Manage DPP Compliance
PLM Helps Companies Meet DPP Regulations, Design for Sustainability, and Strategically Transition to a Circular Economy
From the paper we learn about the importance of DPP:
“Within the EU, passport technology is becoming mandatory across a diverse range of product categories, starting with batteries, chemicals, construction, electronics, furniture, luxury goods, plastics, textiles, and toys.”
“Full DPP implementation is currently expected by 2030. This mandate requires companies to digitally document detailed product information across their entire lifecycle. The goal is to promote sustainability and transparency for consumers, businesses, and governments.”

This article from PTC Arena Solutions discusses the growing role of PLM in sustainable product development and the circular economy. Here are the key points:
PLM has become increasingly important for manufacturers in new product development and introduction, especially in markets with complex products where quality management and compliance regulations are stringent.
The Circular Economy is based on three principles driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials (at their highest value), and regenerate nature.
PLM is starting to play a critical role in manufacturing companies’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies.
A survey found that many companies are using more sustainable materials, increasing the efficiency of energy use, and using energy-efficient or climate-friendly machinery.
The author, Joseph Prock, writing for PTC Arena, remarks that the linear model is largely unsustainable. The circular economy, on the other hand, aims to minimize environmental impact by regenerating or reusing materials.
To achieve this, PLM systems can facilitate the transition to the circular economy from the earliest stages of product design.
