CONTACT Software is showcasing AI-powered solutions to build a unified digital backbone for automotive engineering, configuration, and simulation at the upcoming WCX World Congress Experience (April 14–16, 2026, Detroit). Partnering with US-based consultancy Razorleaf, the company is helping North American automotive firms navigate the shift to software-defined vehicles.
This transition demands seamless integration across the product lifecycle from engineering and simulation to manufacturing and services all within a single AI-supported ecosystem.
At booth 349, CONTACT Software and Razorleaf experts will demonstrate the modular CONTACT Elements platform, which links PLM, project management, and IIoT for end-to-end workflows. It creates a single source of truth for data, accessible at every stage, while the new Fourier AI layer leverages both general and domain-specific models to speed up tasks like spotting similar 3D geometries.
Rounding out the offerings are tools from CONTACT subsidiary CAIQ, including Simulation Process & Data Management (SPDM), which embeds simulation directly into product development for faster cycles, lower costs, and top quality already in use by customers like Audi and Porsche.
CONTACT is ramping up its North American footprint through local partnerships like Razorleaf, blending global tech leadership with regional expertise for reliable digital transformation. Stop by booth 349 at WCX 2026 to see how these solutions can accelerate your path to
