Originally developed by the AI Vision team at Endava, SideFX Labs is now publishing a suite of tools designed to generate dataset variations and annotations suitable for training Computer Vision scenarios. The toolset will be made available to Houdini customers via SideFX Labs on April 22nd, 2025. You can also download an example file from the Content Library to explore a working example.

Endava’s robust synthetic data expertise will help us work even closer with studios who turn to Houdini to tackle their computer vision production challenges. As we continue to build on the foundation of Endava’s synthetic data tools, artists will be more efficient in creating training datasets through a standardized framework that seamlessly integrates into existing workflows.

“This collaboration with Endava not only makes sense on a technical level, but it is closely aligned with our ethos and core values. Balancing innovation with integrity is an essential part of what we do and Endava’s customer-centric vision helps us empower artists and revolutionise the world of visual simulation and visualization together.” Judith Crow, VP Strategic Partnerships at SideFX.

“Artists continue to play a critical role in the advancement of AI and machine learning. The ability to create realistic, high-quality synthetic data is directly tied to their skills and expertise in content creation, proceduralism, and simulation. Given these skills are essential to building better machine learning models, it’s important that artists feel empowered to contribute directly to the development of production-ready AI systems, and have the right tools and to do so. Working with SideFX on making this a reality is equally exciting and rewarding.” Jon Hanzelka, Global SVP & Head of Synthetic Data at Endava.

PROSTEP Develops AI Chatbot for Digital Product Passport

DARMSTADT, Germany, Apr 23, 2025 – In the future, the EU will require a digital product passport (DPP) for a large number of products. The DDP provides information about the components, materials and substances used in a product and how the product can be repaired, recycled and disposed of. PROSTEP does not only support the creation of DDPs but, as part of the Decide4ECO project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection (BMWiK), has also developed an AI-based chatbot that makes this information available more quickly. At Hanover Trade Fair in Hanover, Germany, PROSTEP demonstrated how easy it is to find information in the DPP using the chatbot.

Many companies will in the future be facing the challenge of using their numerous different data sources to generate a transparent digital product passport that is always up-to-date. This is because, from 2027 onwards, the EU Ecodesign Regulation will require them to record, manage and, if necessary, share with partners information on materials and substances, carbon footprints, resources used and the recyclability for certain groups of products, as well as operating instructions, product identification and proof of origin.

“The DPP is not only intended as a tool that regulatory authorities can use to monitor the market. It should also be possible, for example, for manufacturers to use it for sustainability reporting, retailers for marketing purposes, repair shops for making repairs or for recycling, and consumers for making purchase decisions”, says Rainer Zeifang, Head of the Business Unit Software Development and AI Evangelist at PROSTEP. “Access to the DDP must therefore be as easy and flexible as possible and also support different views of the digital twin.”

Experience shows that the information required to create the DPP is stored in different IT systems. Collecting this information and keeping it up to date manually would be far too time-consuming. This is why PROSTEP uses its digital thread platform, which incorporates the time-tested solutions OpenCLM for cross-domain data linking and OpenPDM for PLM integration, for the automated generation of the DPP. OpenPDM ensures access to information in the most widely used PLM, ALM and ERP systems and other enterprise applications using standardized connectors.

The technical foundation for creating the DPP and exchanging relevant information is the so-called Asset Administration Shell (AAS). It describes the digital twin or the DPP in a standardized format that allows all partners in the value chain to use the information and to supplement it with their own data. PROSTEP’s new EDC connector can be used to make this data available in a Gaia-X-compliant manner in trusted data ecosystems such as Catena-X or Manufacturing-X.

PROSTEP has integrated a chatbot into the solution to make it as easy as possible for different user groups to access the information in the DPP. It allows users to search for information using natural language, to aggregate it and, for example, to compare the CO2 footprint of different products. The chatbot uses generative AI methods, as we know them from ChatGPT, to access the information.

About PROSTEP Inc.

PROSTEP Inc., the fastest growing PLM solutions, systems integration, and migration consultant in the North American region for the discrete manufacturing industry, is the wholly-owned subsidiary of leading global parent company PROSTEP AG.

Located in the US automotive industry hub, Troy, MI, PROSTEP provides PLM solutions across industries including AutomotiveAerospaceShipbuilding, and other manufacturing.
