EDS Technologies, in partnership with Dassault Systèmes, is participating at AEDEX+AIRPORT Expo 2026, bringing together key stakeholders from across the aerospace and defence ecosystem.

The expo brings together OEMs, tier suppliers, MRO teams and defence program stakeholders to explore emerging technologies and solutions shaping the future of the industry.

At the EDS Technologies stall, visitors can explore 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.

EDS Technologies hosted business and technology leaders from Pune for an insightful discussion on the realities of AI adoption in manufacturing.

The session explored how organizations can move beyond AI pilots and translate AI initiatives into measurable business impact. Discussions focused on aligning AI with business priorities, strengthening data intelligence, and building the right foundation to scale AI across manufacturing organizations.

The event also featured practical perspectives on AI strategy, data intelligence and business transformation, highlighting how manufacturers can take AI initiatives from experimentation to production and drive meaningful outcomes across their 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.
