Windchill SAP Integration

Integrating Windchill and SAP enables seamless data flow, reducing errors and manual entry, enhancing collaboration, and improving efficiency across design, production, and supply chain for a unified workflow.

Why should you integrate Windchill and SAP


Integrating Windchill with SAP ERP addresses key challenges in today’s complex manufacturing environment. It streamlines the handling of configurable products across the value chain by automatically generating and syncing information between PLM and ERP. This integration provides simultaneous visibility of product changes, allowing downstream manufacturing and supply chain processes to run concurrently with engineering, which accelerates time to market and improves quality. Furthermore, software can be dynamically configured in PLM and delivered directly to the shop floor, ensuring the latest version is available without altering the BOM. Historically, ERP systems managed both resource planning and product data, leading to data silos and inefficiencies. By combining Windchill’s PLM capabilities with SAP ERP, manufacturers benefit from a seamless flow of real-time, accurate data, reducing errors, speeding up production, and improving quality. This integration enables better collaboration across teams, reduces costs, and ensures a more efficient and responsive product lifecycle that meets evolving customer demands.

What is the value of Windchill and SAP integration

This integration improves data accuracy, speeds time to market, and enhances collaboration, where PLM powers product data and ERP facilitates the transactions of said data.

The value of manufacturing and engineering data in Windchill

For Vestas, integrating manufacturing data in Windchill reduces production time, enhances data quality, and minimizes errors by streamlining BOM creation and eliminating manual data entry. This digital approach also improves traceability and reliability, especially for complex products with thousands of components. By using Windchill Manufacturing Process Management, manufacturing data, like process plans and tools, are centrally managed, reducing setup errors and enabling automation of previously manual tasks, such as generating work instructions. This integration provides Vestas with a foundation for further process automation, improving manufacturing efficiency and accuracy. Learn More

ERP to PLM at Volvo Construction Equipment

Volvo moved PLM functionality that was previously covered in their ERP into Windchill to streamline processes, reduce handovers, and improve visibility for both manufacturing and design engineers. At Volvo CE, this integration ensures that both the eBOM and mBOM are managed within the same system, allowing design engineers to understand the impact of their changes on manufacturing. This enhanced visibility helps improve collaboration and decision-making across teams, aligning product design with manufacturing processes. Learn More

Improving data quality at MicroVention through PLM and ERP integration

Moving critical PLM functionality/responsibility out of ERP and into Windchill, then creating an integration between the eliminates manual data entry, reducing errors and inefficiencies. By connecting Windchill to downstream systems, MicroVention engineers can publish bills of materials directly to ERP without duplication. This automation helps scale operations without increasing manual labor, reducing mistakes in downstream systems. The integration streamlines workflows, allowing engineers to focus on design rather than ERP, and ensures data is transferred accurately and efficiently across systems. Learn More

What are the advantages of integrating Windchill and SAP?

The ideal future state involves managing data together in these systems without duplication and with clear ownership—integrating the flows, and not the data, by providing access to PLM data into and from the existing ERP system with a single source of truth.
