Windchill+ provides deployment, upgrade, and collaboration features to support faster development.
PTC announced that Schaeffler will adopt PTC’s Windchill+ product lifecycle management (PLM) solution as part of its efforts to update product development processes. Schaeffler is transitioning from its on-premises Windchill system to the cloud-based Windchill+ platform to support more efficient deployment, upgrades, and collaboration.
Over the past decade, Schaeffler has used PTC’s product development software to support the design of automotive systems, including engines, transmissions, chassis components, and electric drives. The relationship is expected to see further expansion following the successful merger of Schaeffler and Vitesco Technologies in October 2024. Schaeffler utilizes PTC software to define the hardware and software requirements of its products with application lifecycle management (ALM), to design its products with computer-aided design (CAD), to manage product configurations in PLM, and to extend this data into the manufacturing process with PLM-based solutions such as Windchill Navigate.
PTC and Schaeffler expect to collaborate on artificial intelligence-driven product development initiatives, leveraging the product data managed across PTC’s product development portfolio, to enable Schaeffler to further accelerate its product development process.
