One the world's leading manufacturers of innovative and user friendly construction and moving machinery, has expanded its deployment of the PTC Product Development System.
PLM software proves popular in high-tech sector
During the past 12 months, 173 organisations have licensed PTC product lifecycle management solutions to support their electronics product development goals.
Daktronics produces scoring and display systems, including displays for the Times Square Spectacular, the Kuwait Stock Exchange and the Hippodrome De Paris Vincennes.
Daktronics originally selected Pro/Engineer, the core design offering within the PTC PDS.
Daktronics selected Pro/Engineer because it improves design collaboration and provides a consistent platform that its engineers can use from design concept to manufacturing.
These capabilities allow Daktronics to boost productivity and resource allocation in order to increase the number of product ideas conceptualised, evaluated and ultimately manufactured.
For example, Daktronics created a video display for a specific Coca-Cola marketing initiative in New York's Time Square in just five months.
Discontinuities across the concept-design-manufacturing continuum often hamper an organisation's ability to increase manufacturing capacity goals.
To help meet its increased manufacturing capacity goals, Daktronics recently expanded its implementation to include Windchill, PTC's web-based content and process management solution designed to enable rapid data sharing of Pro/Engineer files and collaboration across development teams, better version control and improved change management processes.
Windchill provides immediate access to the resources, information and capabilities needed to ensure efficient production planning and execution.
Fishbowl Solutions provided the services for Daktronics' Pro/Engineer and Windchill implementation.
