PTC Windchill

WINDCHILL
PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Manufacturers have never needed real-time information sharing, dynamic data visualization, and the ability to collaborate more than they do today. With easy, secure data access for multi-disciplinary and geographically-distributed teams, quality-focused processes, and a data driven approach to manufacturing, Windchill is elevating how product development gets done.

Windchill’s open architecture enables easy integration with other enterprise systems, including IoT, providing a solid foundation for a product-driven digital thread. PTC's PLM system provides comprehensive out-of-the-box functionality and highly configurable role and task-based apps. Expand self-service access of traceable product data to non-experts who don’t typically use PLM, while avoiding over-customization and complexity.

WHAT'S NEW IN WINDCHILL

Experience better collaboration, closed-loop quality, and concurrent manufacturing.

Rapidly develop role- and task-based apps: ThingWorx Navigate 9.0 enables customers to build their own unique custom apps, leveraging a rapid app development environment with reusable components. Experience eight times faster time-to-value for building a new custom app, down from three and a half months to under two weeks.
Implement closed-loop quality: System integration delivers proof of traceability for finding and fixing problems early. This capability is delivered through tight OSLC integration with the PTC toolchain and third-party requirements management tools (i.e. IBM Doors Next Gen).
Visually manage critical to quality (CTQ) characteristics: Creo View 7, embedded in PTC's product lifecycle management software, provides visual comparisons based on process manufacturing information (PMI) created through model-based definition (MBD) practices. By allowing users to identify changes in the view states captured in the CAD design, Windchill can now enable better management of CTQ characteristics.
Support concurrent engineering with the factory: Bill of material (BOM) transformation tools enable manufacturing engineers to quickly view and reconcile upstream changes to downstream manufacturing and plant-specific BOMs.

WINDCHILL+: COLLABORATE WITHOUT BORDERS

Enjoy all the features and value that Windchill offers, plus rapid capability and user adoption, built-in security, and frictionless collaboration enabled through software as a service.
