Quick start for product data management
PTC has strengthened its Windchill web-based collaboration and control offering with the introduction of a new quick start solution called Windchill PDMLink.
Mahle Powertrain anticipates significant business process and quality improvement.
The PTC PDS will provide centrally controlled data collaboration, workflow, bill of materials and product configuration, detailed document search, better version control and CAD data management in a cost-effective package.
Mahle Powertrain, a PTC customer for over a decade, has used Pro/Engineer as its core design solution in a heterogeneous CAD environment and Pro/Intralink for ProE data management.
With this expansion, Mahle Powertrain will now move its legacy Pro/Intralink data to Windchill PDMLink.
"The PTC Product Development System came out on top in a rigorous vendor selection process, as an out of the box solution which could manage our processes during a time of significant change management".
"Windchill PDMLink, as our single data platform, also offers a superior tool for workflow and collaboration, with first rate vendor support", said Dave Beecroft, Head of Projects, Mahle Powertrain.
"Engineers had a difficult time focussing on core activities, because they spent too much time searching for information".
"Windchill will streamline these operations and will accelerate information search and new product development in a highly innovative environment, using knowledge gained from previous projects".
"We are confident that the deployment of Windchill will positively impact our bottom line by unlocking new potential as we reduce time spent looking for information, accelerate processes and eliminate duplication, with automatic routing of documents and continuous visibility of product status", summarises Beecroft.
"Windchill is a superior solution for managing a multi-CAD environment which typifies the auto industry and other technology sectors".
