Story
Lowe's did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed virtual testing to move. In the United States, analysts and design leads already knew where simulation went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Kepware from PTC is now in that path. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. The company treats it as production tooling for virtual testing, which is why analysts and design leads live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Lowe's can show how simulation is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run virtual testing on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
