Story
Keyence grew product lifecycle data faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Engineering and quality were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Unity Industry put change control on Unity. Unity is a real-time 3D platform used for games, digital twins, and industrial visualization. Keyence keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so engineering and quality do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier change control. Product lifecycle data is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join engineering and quality without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
