The manufacturing industry is continuously under the pressure to make products of the highest quality in the shortest time and within budget. In this blog, we'll talk about how a solution such as PTC Windchill PLM integration can be a helpful tool for manufacturers.
Mostly, we see a need for overlapping cycles in design and engineering works. Without a good collaboration, the process becomes risky and complex, causing delays and costly revisions. Therefore, modern-day integrations between Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) help engineers and operations personnel to integrate their work and improve supply chain agility.
One of the several benefits of integrating PLM and ERP that manage your Bill of Materials (BOMs) and product, respectively, is that it enables designing and manufacturing the right products within a suitable timeframe.
Similarly, our integration solution between PTC Windchill software and Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers a collaborative interface between the two business systems for an efficient process right from design through production.
Some of the critical problems we've seen with customers using disconnected PLM and ERP systems face are:
1. Struggling to streamline and regularize their product and process information throughout a product lifecycle
2. Over-consumption of time and money to duplicate and maintain the same data across all the systems involved
3. Expensive and excessive ERP customizations in Microsoft Dynamics 365 that may not even give the desired results
If any of the above scenarios match with your pain points, integrating your PTC Windchill PLM and Microsoft D365 could bring in a lot of ease for you.
The PTC Windchill PLM integration is a solution that has been fine-tuned to offer a high level of flexibility and concurrent engineering to create a complex bill of materials (BOM). While eliminating the risk of costly data errors due to multiple entries, the solution fortifies collaboration between the entire design and manufacturing systems. Thus, it enables innovation, speed, and cost reduction.
