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.

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.
