PTC, a product development company, has launched Windchill 10.0, the new version of its product lifecycle management (PLM) software.
The offering with new capabilities focus on product analytics and quality management; allows customers to effectively define, manage, and validate complete bills of material (BOMs), provide linkages across domain-specific views of product structures throughout the entire lifecycle, said the company.
In addition, the offering includes a new user experience and improved system administration, making it easier to use and maintain and enabling broad adoption.
The company said that the new offering enables manufacturers to do more throughout the product lifecycle, know more about product performance and get more value from PLM.
The Windchill 10.0 centrally manages all product deliverables including: MCAD, ECAD, documentation and service information; unifies its ECAD data management capabilities to offer a common user experience, consistent with its existing approach for MCAD data management.
Further, when combined with Creo for 3D illustrated and animated service instructions and parts lists, and Arbortext for technical communications creation and delivery, the offering supports a complete, integral service information offering.
Windchill 10.0 also supports business process optimisation in areas including: Detailed Design, Variant Design and Generation, and Verification and Validation.
