US Air Force Extends Use of PTC Servigistics

Oct 15, 2026
The US Air Force extended its use of PTC Servigistics for service parts planning and supply chain optimization under the ESCAPE program.

PTC announced in a press release that the United States Air Force extended its use of Servigistics under the Enterprise Supply Chain Analysis, Planning, and Execution program.

The Air Force first selected Servigistics in 2017 for service parts planning across its global supply network. The software combines forecasting, multi echelon optimization, supply planning, machine learning, and AI to align inventory decisions with aircraft and system availability targets.

The renewed agreement will also support exception based management. This allows planners to identify supply issues, evaluate alternatives, automate routine workflows, and focus on decisions that require intervention.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
