SiliconLaunch: Semiconductor PLM for the AI Era

Modern semiconductor innovation can't run on fragmented systems

The semiconductor industry is moving faster than ever. AI demand, edge intelligence, connected products, and software-defined innovation are increasing pressure on engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams. But many companies still manage critical lifecycle data across disconnected tools, manual handoffs, legacy systems, and siloed workflows. Requirements, IP, design, BOMs, validation, manufacturing, compliance, quality, and field feedback live in separate environments, making it hard to move quickly without losing visibility or control. In a market where every tape-out matters, fragmented PLM slows NPI, limits IP reuse, increases quality risk, and delays revenue.

Introducing SiliconLaunch by HCLTech and PTC

SiliconLaunch is a joint semiconductor PLM modernization solution from HCLTech and PTC. Built on PTC Windchill, with support from Codebeamer and Creo, and delivered with HCLTech's semiconductor templates, accelerators, and global delivery scale, it connects IP, requirements, design, BOMs, software, wafer, test, manufacturing, quality, compliance, and field feedback on one digital thread.
