The PTC Product Development System (PDS) is uniquely able to support organisations like ASE Group by providing the following advantages: a single, comprehensive PLM system that helps prevent late-stage changes by supporting the entire process starting from early-stage product development; process centric solutions that tie technology to best practices in high tech product development; synchronisation of electrical, mechanical, software and technical publications development, and collaboration across these disciplines; component management solutions that enable designers to design for environmental regulatory compliance and supply chain from the beginning; and collaboration with distributed development, suppliers and customers with a single, scalable solution.
"Electronics and high tech companies continue to struggle with creating the most effective global product development strategies, often trying to manage both design and manufacturing through a heavily outsourced value chain", said Chad Hawkinson, Vice President, Product Strategy, Electronics, PTC.
"PTC is focused on providing solutions that alleviate this burden and streamline the creation of innovative products by enabling mechanical, electrical and software designers to work better together to make more informed decisions at the beginning of the development process, reducing late-stage changes and improving product quality".
