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.
In 2001, Chartered began to explore ways to further reduce turnaround time for its tape-out operations.
Tape-out refers to the final stage of integrated circuit (IC) design when the IC description is sent for manufacturing.
To meet customers' cycle-time needs, Chartered previously employed Windchill 5.0, which fully automated its tape-out process, from control of rule files and batch runs to review and approval of designs.

NASA's Johnson Space Center is realising significant benefits with its production-level implementation of PTC Windchill Applications and services for product lifecycle management (PLM).
In its latest decision, Chartered upgraded its Windchill system in order to enhance stability and performance over the older version, making it even more flexible for various business needs.
Windchill is a powerful, internet-based content and process management system that specialises in the management of complex product data, relationships and processes.
It provides a workflow engine that allows Chartered to facilitate rapid development of new product configurations 24x7 and automate and reduce errors when sharing product data with downstream manufacturing systems.
"Chartered continually evaluates our products and solutions to ensure we best address our customers' needs", said Dan Kochpatcharin, Director of e-business at Chartered.
"PTC Windchill offers a proven solution for Chartered to further enhance our tape-out process because it is designed to eliminate bottlenecks by monitoring running processes and managing activities".
"Our recent Windchill upgrade provides improved performance and efficiency that should enable us to help our customers improve time to market".
"High tech companies need to shorten production time, deliver more complex products, while managing both design and manufacturing through a heavily outsourced value chain", said Richard Kulkarni, PTC South Asia Vice President.
"Downward pressure on cycle time, new requirements for environmental regulatory compliance, technological complexity, and increasing reliance on outsourcing are all converging to create more risk in every phase of the product development process".
"Windchill is optimised to address expanding customer needs, and PTC will continue to help companies manage the process of product development across the extended enterprise".
