PTC Windchill PLM
PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) er blevet et uundværligt element i IT-setuppet hos enhver moderne produktionsvirksomhed. PLM er mere end blot en softwarekomponent - det er en produktdata-styringsmodel til udvikling og optimering af både intern og ekstern kommunikation imellem de forskellige punkter i værdikæden.
PTC Windchill PLMFuld sporbarhed af dine produkters livscyklus
Fremstillingsvirsomheder har aldrig haft mere brug for informationsdeling i realtid, dynamisk datavisualisering og muligheden for at samarbejde på tværs af afdelinger, end de har i dag. Med en PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)-løsning, får du nem og sikker dataadgang til teams på tværs af afdelinger og lokationer, kvalitetsfokuserede processer og en datadrevet tilgang til fremstilling.
Med PTC's PLM-løsning, Windchill, får du en komplet pakke til at styre dine produkters livscyklus ved at levere end-to-end løsninger til alle dine produktrelaterede data og processer.
Windchills åbne arkitektur er din sikkerhed for, at løsningen integrerer nemt med dine øvrige IT-systemer, f.eks. ERP, Field Service, CAD og IoT. Med Windchill får du bl.a. omfattende ud-af-boksen-funktionalitet og konfigurérbare rolle- og opgavebaserede applikationer.
Fordelene ved PLM
Hvordan kan én softwareløsning strømline kommunikationen mellem vidt forskellige punkter i værdikæden? Kort sagt: centralisering. Din PLM-løsning bliver dit referenceværktøj, hvor data kan administreres konsekvent og tilgås af alle interessenter på en enkel og effektiv måde.
Brugervenlig
PTC Windchills intuitive brugergrænseflade er nem at lære for både interne medarbejdere og eksterne projektpartnere.
Integration med andre systemer
Administrér data i stor skala med integration af flere systemer takket være PTC Windchills åbne arkitektur. Det giver dig mulighed for at forbinde dit ERP eller andre IT-systemer med Windchill.
Sikker PLM-platform
Beskyt din virksomheds data og produktinformation, uanset om du arbejder med interne eller eksterne medarbejdere.
Ét lager til alle produktdesigndata
PTC Windchill rummer en række produktrelaterede data, lige fra multi-dimensionelle data, til styklister til engineering, produktion og service, versionskontrol og arbejdsgange.
Fremmer innovation
PLM-løsninger hjælper med at afskaffe silostrukturer ved at ophæve de traditionelle begrænsninger, der opstår ved at arbejde i forskellige systemer. Derved får du et digitalt økosystem, der fremmer innovation.
Change management
Change management is standard within PTC Windchill.
Ét værktøj til alle
PLM er et centralt system, der giver enhver medarbejder (og evt. leverandør) mulighed for nemt at kommunikere om data og sikre, at alle ændringer, de foretager, bliver inkluderet i realtid.
Reducér omkostningerne
PTC Windchill giver dig et bedre overblik over de forskellige komponenter og mængder, der er nødvendige for at producere et produkt, så du kan reagere hurtigere baseret på indkøb og varebeholdninger.
Integration med andre forretningssystemer
Ved at bruge åbne standarder inden for Windchill, kan du helt simpelt integrere løsningen med andre forretningssystemer, herunder CAD, ERP og IoT. På den måde får du et solidt grundlag for en produktdrevet digital tråd og et kontinuerligt feedback-loop.
