AMC Bridge business development leaders, together with company executives, recently met in Wrocław, Poland, to review H1 2026 results and define the way forward for the second half of the year. Discussions centered on market trends, evolving client needs, growth opportunities, and the increasing demand for implementation expertise across engineering, manufacturing, and construction organizations.
AMC Bridge has developed the AI-Assisted KiCad–Codebeamer MCP Integration Demo, a technology demonstration that introduces a new approach to requirements-driven design validation and compliance automation.
AMC Bridge, a trusted software technology partner for engineering, manufacturing, and construction enterprises, continues strengthening its collaboration with Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), the infrastructure engineering software company, through its listing in the Bentley Ecosystem Catalog, a centralized resource that helps infrastructure professionals discover complementary applications, data solutions, and professional services to streamline workflows and improve project delivery.
Engineering teams today generate more data than ever before. Requirements, models, simulations, design artifacts, and test results are all critical to the development process, yet this information often remains scattered across disconnected systems and workflows. The challenge is not simply integrating data—it is enabling teams to use that information effectively to make informed decisions, identify issues earlier, reduce risk, and advance programs with greater confidence. This session explores lessons learned from implementing digital thread strategies in advanced research and engineering environments, as well as insights from a panel discussion on the realities of digital engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
