September 15-17, 2026 Phoenix, Arizona:
Anark is proud to sponsor GPDIS 2026. This year's Summit examines the role of AI in advancing standards-based interoperability within enterprise digital ecosystems. That theme sits directly on top of the work Anark has been doing to connect trusted engineering data to the people who need to act on it.
First look at Anark Collaborate 5 Raptor
GPDIS attendees get an early preview of Anark Collaborate 5 Raptor ahead of its official launch on September 30 at 1PM ET. Fast. Precise. Powerful. Raptor represents the next generation of model-based collaboration.
Raptor extends trusted engineering product data into the workflows where manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and partners need to review, understand, and act on complex product information. Stop by Booth 17 to see 3D, MBD, PMI, GD&T, BOM, drawing, and document content delivered in the browser, with review and problem resolution happening directly in product context. Our team will walk you through what is coming and answer questions before the launch webinar.
Anark Presentation
Persistent IDs and Model-Based Collaboration for the Digital Thread
Presented by Jim Martin, Anark Director of Customer Engagement
Track: Digital Twin / Digital Thread
Thursday, September 17 | 9:10 AM – 9:50 AM MST | Room O / P
Cross-domain manufacturing collaboration in aerospace and defense still relies on disconnected tools, including email, screenshots, and PowerPoint markups. The result is costly delay between design, manufacturing, and quality teams. Persistent Identifiers and other standards-based structured information can address this by assigning stable, unique identifiers to part features. Those identifiers remain linked across every domain, revision, and stakeholder throughout the product lifecycle.
As related, the DDP/CASCaRA framework, developed by prostep ivip and submitted to the OMG as an emerging global standard, represents a parallel effort with closely aligned intent. It was built to ensure consistency in how model-based engineering data is shared across organizational boundaries, and it treats product data as an interconnected knowledge graph.
This presentation demonstrates how these technologies converge within a model-based collaboration environment, connecting quality plans, inspection results, and more into a single standards-based interface. Attendees will explore how structured, standards-based information combined with early examples of AI-driven development of user interfaces and processes can compress decision cycles, accelerate root cause analysis, and move programs to production with greater speed and confidence.
Persistent identifiers and standards-based structure are what make model-based collaboration hold together across organizational boundaries. Raptor is where that structure becomes usable, giving manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and partners a way to work from authoritative product data without leaving product context.
Stop by Booth 17, or join Jim's session Thursday morning to see how the two fit together. Then join us September 30 at 1PM ET for the full Raptor launch.
