The addition of the Connector to PTC Windchill enables Windchill users to leverage Goldfire Innovator to help them get the most out of the content housed within an organisation.
Invention Machine has joined the PTC PartnerAdvantage Program to help customers accelerate their product innovation process.
The company has also enhanced its Invention Machine Goldfire Innovator software by adding the Connector to PTC Windchill to provide direct access to content housed within Windchill.
This new feature will enable users to leverage knowledge stored in Windchill, ensuring that the right designs are put at the front end of the product lifecycle management (PLM) process.
"Successful product lifecycle management depends on generating and validating the right ideas the first time, as well as identifying and mitigating risks that may arise downstream in the product development process", said Jim Todhunter, Chief Technology Officer, Invention Machine.
"Using Goldfire Innovator together with PTC Windchill will enable companies to leverage existing expertise and technical content to achieve PLM efficiencies that will help drive sustainable innovation".
Invention Machine's software allows engineers and scientists to generate and validate the right ideas the first time.
The software also identifies and mitigates risks from the product development process, so businesses can confidently focus on driving repeatable and sustainable innovation, regardless of the product concept and market challenges.
The innovation software incorporates pre-defined risk analysis templates based on industry-specific workflows so they integrate better with existing innovation processes in automotive, energy, chemical and defence industries.
The addition of the Connector to PTC Windchill not only allows companies to bring better ideas into the Windchill-based PLM processes, but also enables Windchill users to leverage Goldfire Innovator to help them get the most out of the content housed within an organisation.
With the Connector, customers can access and process documents in various formats and languages stored in Windchill repositories, including English, German, French and Japanese.
"With the addition of Invention Machine to our PartnerAdvantage program, a program comprised of software providers selected for their expertise, PTC Windchill users will be now be able to tap into Invention Machine's powerful solution in Goldfire", said Andy Barlow, Senior Director, Business Development, PTC.
"Goldfire's ability to directly access content from Windchill could help engineers deliver innovative products faster".
