EDS Technologies, in partnership with Dassault Systèmes, participated in AEDEX+AIRPORT Expo 2026, bringing together OEMs, tier suppliers, MRO teams, and defence program stakeholders from across the aerospace and defence ecosystem.

The event provided an opportunity to engage with industry professionals and discuss emerging technologies shaping aerospace and defence engineering, manufacturing, and maintenance.

At the EDS Technologies stall, discussions focused on how the 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects product design, simulation, manufacturing, and collaborative engineering within a unified environment, supporting organizations across the product development and manufacturing lifecycle.

The event highlighted the growing importance of connected digital approaches in addressing the evolving requirements of aerospace and defence programs. EDS Technologies remains committed to supporting organizations across the industry with digital solutions for connected engineering and manufacturing.

EDS Technologies hosted business and technology leaders from Pune for a half-day session focused on the practical realities of AI adoption in manufacturing. The discussions explored how organizations can move beyond AI pilots and build the right foundation to scale AI across their operations.

The session brought together industry experts and manufacturing leaders to discuss AI strategy, data intelligence, and business transformation. The panel discussion provided practical perspectives on the opportunities and challenges involved in moving AI initiatives from experimentation towards broader adoption.

The session also explored a practical framework spanning AI strategy, data intelligence, and business transformation, highlighting how organizations can connect AI initiatives with business priorities and measurable outcomes.

A key takeaway from the discussions was the importance of moving beyond isolated AI use cases towards a structured, scalable approach that connects technology, data, and business priorities. At EDS Technologies, we remain committed to supporting manufacturing organizations as they accelerate AI adoption and build connected, future-ready operations.

As aerospace and defence manufacturing continues to demand greater precision, agility, and faster turnaround, AI, automation, and connected digital technologies are becoming increasingly important across the engineering and manufacturing lifecycle. Professionals from the A&D manufacturing ecosystem in Bengaluru joined in a seminar to explore how these technologies are shaping the future of machining.

The session, “Transforming Machining with AI & Automation for A&D Suppliers,” explored the shift from traditional machining workflows towards more intelligent and connected approaches to engineering, manufacturing, and process validation. Discussions covered advanced NC programming, AI-assisted manufacturing, process optimization, and virtual validation, highlighting how digital technologies can help organizations improve manufacturing outcomes while responding to increasing demands for precision, quality, agility, and shorter production cycles.

A key takeaway from the discussions was the importance of moving beyond isolated tools and processes towards a connected, data-driven environment. Such an approach can enable teams to access better insights, make faster decisions, and create greater continuity across the engineering and manufacturing process. At EDS Technologies, we remain committed to supporting organizations across the A&D ecosystem as they accelerate their transition towards smarter, connected, and future-ready engineering and manufacturing.

India’s railway sector is entering a new phase of growth, with digital engineering, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable technologies playing an increasingly important role in building a globally competitive and future-ready mobility ecosystem. EDS Technologies along with Dassault Systèmes recently participated in the 7th Conference on Railways Excellence, hosted by CII – Northern Region, bringing together key stakeholders from across the industry.

Representing EDS Technologies, Mr. Karthikeyan Varadarajan, CTO, EDS Technologies, joined the panel on “The Future Runs on Rail: Driving Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Technology & Green Mobility,” sharing perspectives on how digital transformation can enable more efficient, sustainable, and connected rail operations.

The conference provided a valuable platform for industry leaders to discuss how digital engineering, simulation, manufacturing technologies, and collaborative platforms can accelerate innovation and contribute to the next chapter of India’s rail ecosystem.
