_Challenges of manufacturing companies
Nowadays, businesses must adapt quickly to changing market trends and customer demands. To have a competitive edge, manufacturers must invent new products, immediately test them and deliver them to the market before their competition does. However, the innovation required by manufacturers to develop next-generation products is often met with many struggles, which include:
Lack of visibility
Unintegrated systems and processes create multiple versions of information, an issue that complicates data-driven decision-making for companies.
Time-consuming and error-prone processes
Getting correlated data from legacy, heterogeneous systems is time-consuming and, in many cases, not feasible.
Inflexibility
The inability to adapt IT systems quickly to changing business requirements.
Regulatory Requirements & compliance
Companies must ensure that specific market regulatory standards are brought to end customers, e.g. Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262 and that systems are secure against potential threats.
Sustainability
Sustainable product development involves designing and manufacturing a product to minimize its environmental impact during its entire lifecycle.
Uncertainty and constant changes
The need to adapt to events like global pandemics, war, fluctuations in demand, and growing customer requirements quickly and efficiently.
_Start building a Digital Thread across the value chain
The Digital Thread is the backbone for increasing engineering, manufacturing, and product quality efficiency.
74% of leaders who participated in PTC's recent State of Digital Thread survey cite improving their ability to leverage data across the enterprise would be effective or highly effective at addressing disruption.
_Solution – Connected PLM
Connected PLM brings together all critical information to track the product and its digital assets from concept, design, manufacturing, and quality.
We've developed a proven Connected PLM environment based on OSLC methodology that allows our clients cross-disciplinary collaboration to manage the data over the entire product lifecycle.
_Benefits
The key is to enable teams across departments to leverage product data so they can deliver customer value and improve customer relationships, while increasing speed to digital design and validation capabilities, but there is much more:
Cost reduction by increasing employee productivity
Accelerating time to market
Improving product quality by avoiding mistakes
Enabling collaboration above disparate data silos
Increasing visibility by consolidating processes spread across multiple systems
_Support the end-to-end product lifecycle
The concept and modular solution bricks enable manufacturing companies to streamline the product lifecycle across a Digital Thread for complete optimization. Whether you're dealing with reporting, new product development, or managing change, Connected PLM ensures you've covered everything.
_Capabilities
Create and improve traceability
Establishing bidirectional traceability of digital objects between requirements, architecture, testing, etc. ensures compliance with market standards and norms like Automotive SPICE or ISO.
Monitor changes
Customer requirements, product structure, functionality change and more- CPLM ensures consistency across systems and reduces the risk of working on out-of-date information.
Universal Access
You never have to search in multiple systems again - everything is at your fingertips in CPLM's interfaces, and relevant for various roles.
Reporting
Analyze data, track progress, monitor indicators and increase the efficiency of the team's work. Keep an up-to-date overview of each project and product.
Task management
To improve work organization each team member has access to their tasks in one place. You can gain visibility into your all important tasks.

_They trusted us
_Hear from our customers
We are in the midst of expanding our technology leadership to e-mobility and thus also becoming the driving force behind the mobility of the future.
In addition to product development, this also includes an efficient digital infrastructure – in the plants and for all business processes. One of the components of this is the migration of our product lifecycle management to Windchill, which comes with many benefits for efficient global collaboration – and without any effort for maintenance and monitoring of the PLM hardware. We were thrilled with how the TT PSC team guided us through the complex processes with their extensive professional know-how.
