Many product development companies today use multiple, disconnected Quality Management Systems across their organizations to address quality issues and their associated Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs). Without a single, centralized source for tracking and fixing these issues, key stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle lack visibility into quality data and processes, which can result in high Cost of Poor Quality, repeat issues, and safety risks.  The key to making this valuable quality data work better for your organization is to ensure it is accessible across the enterprise to the stakeholders who need it most: product engineers, management, and other teams throughout the lifecycle whose work impacts, or is impacted by, quality data and processes. This presentation will explore how a QMS CAPA solution that is seamlessly integrated with PLM technology enables better collaboration between Quality and Engineering teams. The presenter will discuss how it provides stak

Collaboration in product development, especially across the borders of different engineering disciplines requires transparency in the processes and structures. Simply adapting the best practices from mechanical into electrical engineering in most cases is not sufficient enough due to different requirements and standards regarding the design and documentation. The presenters will take a closer look at the connections between electrical and fluid power design in automation and control configuration. Attendees will see how logical dependencies will be mapped to structural information and how the EPLAN platform for interdisciplinary engineering can be integrated into Windchill to generate electro-mechanical product models.Presented by: Arnd Paulfeuerborn, EPLAN Software & ServicesSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

PLM data delivers tremendous value for those that have access to the PLM system, however, those without direct access are still relying on inefficient data consumption methods. How do attendees delivery the value of PLM data to those who cannot access the PTC Windchill system directly? In this session presenters will explore three cases studies showing how valuable PLM data was shared with end users lacking direct access to the PTC Windchill system.Presented by: Shawn Lothrop, Boston Engineering CorporationSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

With the news last year that PTC was discontinuing support for Web Parts for SharePoint in Windchill 10.2, the ETRAGE integration solution is positioned to fill this void and provide extended functionality for a bi-directional exchange of data between the two systems. The ETRAGE integration for PTC Windchill and Microsoft SharePoint provides the ability to pass data and key information from system to system.  Companies that have integrated PTC Windchill and SharePoint do so for several reasons.  One is to provide a simpler interface for persons that are casual users who need to access PTC Windchill information infrequently, forget where the information is located and need to relearn the PTC Windchill interface.  A second reason is to provide a wider dissemination of PTC Windchill data to a company’s user base. And a third reason is to increase the value of the PTC Windchill and SharePoint investment. The integration delivers a robust, bidirectional exchange of data betwe

The automated generation of a Bill of Material from CAD Data is a primary benefit of the PTC Windchill PLM system. The presenters will take you through the steps on how to do this rapidly and efficiently in your organization. Attendees will gain an understanding of what the techniques are to automate generation of WTPARTS in a useful way. Beginning with an MCAD Assembly that includes an ECAD sub assembly, the presenters will generate a complete BOM. This includes driving the ECAD assembly BOM from the Schematic CAD data with the Unified Workgroup Manager. The presenters will also engage in short discussion of New Part Introduction (NPI) Process.Presented by: Linda Mazzitelli and Scott Claes, CLAESdotBIZ LLCSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

This session will address various considerations for bulk migration versus co-existence strategies.  The migration strategy you select for your company will have a dramatic impact on the cost, duration, and complexity and ultimately the success or failure of your migration project.  Bulk migrations tend to be less technically challenging but may ultimately have a higher risk of failure putting your critical data as risk.  Co-existence strategies tend to reduce risk but require more planning and a higher technical effort which can have a negative impact on budgets and timelines.  Both strategies can be very successful with careful planning, and realistic expectations.  Budgeting both time and funding for migration projects including services, licensing and infrastructure costs will also be discussed.  Bring your tough questions.Presented by: Paul  Downing, PROSTEP INCSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

Materials that are being used in your product design often have risks associated with their use. These risks range from regulation restrictions such as REACH and ROHS, SEC reporting requirements like Conflict Minerals, price fluctuations, and even social issues.  Being able to understand these risks and why the appropriate response is critical is key to a successful product. This presentation will review how PTC's Material Compliance solution can address these risks and provide a strategic approach to collecting material content for your products.Presented by: Jim Sweeney, PTCSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

By attending this presentation learn the benefits Whirlpool gained by strategically setting up a dedicated PLM testing team. Prior to this, the project team and key business end users were using valuable time for testing and validation for new applications and/or enhancements. By forming a dedicated PLM testing team Whirlpool were able to streamline the regression testing suite and set up a test automation framework. This helped to validate new deployments, enhancements and send PTC patch updates on a regular basis with predictability and in an efficient way. This not only expedited deployments but also enabled a roll out of SCRUM practices at Whirlpool to improve  the end user experience.Presented by: Yogesh Khanzode, Whirlpool CorporationSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations

Publishing in PTC Windchill at Flowserve has historically been a struggle point in the PTC Windchill system due to poor publishing success, rapid site adoption of PLM, and lack of knowledge.  This led to poor user experience and administrative struggles of the system.  The presenters will outline a recent project between I-Cubed (a KPIT company) and Flowserve which sought to address these struggle points.  The presenters will cover the unique requirements of Flowserve as a site driven corporation each with unique requirements and the implications on publishing in PTC Windchill.Presented by: Phil Miller, Flowserve and Robert Morrison, KPITSee all PTC Live Global 2015 - PTC Windchill and PLM Presentations
