The new software enables manufacturers to do more throughout the product lifecycle, know more about product performance and get more value from PLM, the company claimed in a press release.

With new capabilities that focus on product analytics and quality management, Windchill allows customers to more effectively define, manage, and validate complete bills of material, providing linkages across domain-specific views of product structures throughout the entire lifecycle, claimed the company.

The new software also includes a new user experience and improved system administration, making it easier than ever to use and maintain and enabling broad adoption, the release added.

“Customers are constantly telling us about the escalating complexity of product development driven by manufacturers’ focus on increased product differentiation, an explosion in the volume of regulatory constraints, continual quality pressures, the realization of service operations as a significant profit center, and heightened sensitivity to the environmental impact of product operations,” said Brian Shepherd, executive vice president, product development, PTC.

Windchill centrally manages all product deliverables including MCAD, ECAD, documentation and service information. It also unifies its ECAD data management capabilities to offer a common user experience, consistent with its existing approach for MCAD data management, the release added.

“The many new configuration capabilities in Windchill 10.0 will give our users much more power and flexibility in managing products,” said Terry Gimbre, engineering manager, Thales Communications, Inc.

He added that this supports their commitment to continuous process improvement and enhances their ability to deliver high quality mission critical products on which lives literally depend.
