Frost & Sullivan Analysis: ROI of Synera’s AI Agent Platform
What Frost & Sullivan uncovered about Synera’s impact on engineering performance, automation and enterprise-wide ROI.
Engineering teams operate in toolchains made up of disconnected, domain-specific applications - 3D CAD, simulation, cost estimation, documentation, and more - each from a different vendor, with little interoperability. These tools were never designed to speak to one another. As a result, engineers are forced to work in silos, manually transferring data, repeating analyses, and losing critical time between steps.
Frost & Sullivan’s best practice analysis of Synera describes how the company solves this with a single platform that integrates more than 70 CAx and PLM tools and breaks the cost-speed barrier in engineering.

Key Frost & Sullivan ROI findings
Frost & Sullivan highlight Synera’s connectors to over 70 CAx tools, smart workflow automation, and full multi-agent capabilities—all in one AI Agent Platform for Engineering. The report’s findings reveal measurable agentic AI impact, not just potential:
1. Proven ROI and measurable efficiency gains
- 95% reduction in time spent on finite element (FE) simulations at EDAG.
- 47% lighter components and 80% faster development in Hyundai’s bionic lightweight design process.
- 20% production cost reduction achieved by Brose through process automation.
- 50% shorter development cycles for MAN Truck & Bus using agentic AI for axle design optimization.
- Nearly 650% ROI and 30% higher utilization for RLE International’s engineering teams within the first year.
2. Platform adoption across leading automotive and aerospace enterprises
Synera is used by NASA and more than 12 Global Fortune 500 manufacturers and their affiliates, including Airbus, BMW, Hyundai, and Volkswagen.
3. Engineering context meets agentic
AI Synera combines two previously disconnected capabilities:
- Cognitive reasoning via trained large language models that understand engineering context and intent—closing expertise gaps and working with engineers as true team members.
- Tool interaction with CAD, CAE, and PLM systems to automate development processes like design optimization and costing for RFQs. This fusion makes Synera a genuinely agentic collaborator, able to manage complex, iterative work far beyond workflow automation. With 70+ integrated tools (including Altair/Siemens, Autodesk, Hexagon, and PTC), engineers and agents use the same apps—driving smoother collaboration and faster adoption.
4. AI transformation that empowers engineers
Frost & Sullivan Research Director Karthik Sundaram describes Synera as “reimagining engineering as an AI-native discipline where human creativity is amplified by autonomous digital teammates, changing how products are conceived, developed, and commercialized.”
