Modern architecture
Manage data at scale with a web-based architecture ready for multi-system orchestration.
Windchill — Product Lifecycle Management
Realize value fast with standard PDM/PLM capability from day one of deployment. Windchill is PTC's enterprise PLM platform: an open, flexibly scalable architecture ready to integrate with ERP/MES — the core of the digital thread for manufacturers.
What is Windchill?
As manufacturers increasingly need to share information in real time, visualize dynamic data, and collaborate across distributed, cross-functional teams, Windchill delivers easy and secure data access for multi-discipline teams, robust quality control processes, and a data-driven approach to manufacturing.
Windchill's open architecture enables straightforward integration with other enterprise systems such as SAP ERP, creating a solid foundation for a product-centric digital thread. The platform delivers comprehensive PLM functionality and highly customizable role-based applications — extending self-service access to non-expert users.
Once product data is organized on a single system, businesses gain a trusted foundation for AI insights and automation: faster decision-making based on historical and real-time data, automation of repetitive tasks, an optimized product development lifecycle, and unlocked opportunities for innovation.
