Nimble Adopts PTC’s Onshape and Arena to Scale Autonomous Logistics with Next-Gen Superhumanoids!

Nimble, a leader in AI robotics and autonomous logistics technology, has made a strategic shift to enhance its development process by adopting PTC’s cloud-native Onshape CAD and PDM platform along with Arena PLM and QMS solutions. This transition marks a significant upgrade from Nimble’s legacy computer-aided design (CAD), product data management (PDM), product lifecycle management (PLM), and quality management system (QMS) tools, which were file-based and became bottlenecks as the company scaled its operations.

After conducting an initial evaluation, Nimble moved quickly, making the switch in less than 60 days. The decision was driven by the need to streamline collaboration, reduce latency, and improve system reliability across various teams, ensuring that the company could continue its growth trajectory without disruption. With the new cloud-native tools from PTC, Nimble is now equipped with a seamless, connected development process, which is essential for scaling the production and research & development (R&D) of its superhumanoid mobile-manipulator robots, designed to meet the rising demand for faster and more cost-effective logistics solutions.

Simon Kalouche, Founder and CEO of Nimble, expressed his satisfaction with the new system, noting, “With Onshape and Arena, we now have a connected, cloud-native development process that eliminates the bottlenecks we faced with file-based tools. This is a critical step as we scale manufacturing and R&D for our superhumanoid robots to meet the growing demand for faster, more cost-effective logistics.”

David Katzman, General Manager of Onshape and Arena at PTC, commented on the trend of shifting away from file-based tools to cloud-native platforms. “Nimble’s adoption of Onshape and Arena underscores a notable trend in the industry where leaders are replacing file-based tools with connected, cloud-native platforms. Onshape and Arena are key enablers of this change, allowing teams to improve workflows, increase agility, and scale efficiently.”

As Nimble continues to develop its next-generation robotics solutions, the integration of PTC’s cloud-native platforms is expected to enhance product development timelines, improve team collaboration, and ensure better scalability in its manufacturing operations. This step aligns with Nimble’s mission to innovate and lead in the rapidly evolving logistics technology space, positioning the company for continued success in meeting future demands.
