What’s the difference between using Windchill MPMLink versus other PLM vendor solutions for MPM?
Windchill MPMLink focuses on solving the daily issues that manufacturing engineers face – making sure their process plans, manufacturing bill of materials (mBOMs), and work instructions accurately reflect the current engineering design. Other solutions center on factory and robot simulation, highly-specialized applications, as the foundation of their acquired manufacturing group of products. Such simulation-based, non-integral solutions do not offer manufacturing engineers much help with their daily task of managing process plans and related manufacturing data. As the only MPM solution to be an integral part of a world-class PLM system, Windchill MPMLink gives manufacturing engineers direct access to the latest product designs. This allows them to closely work with design engineering, to easily repurpose design data for mBOMs, to create and manage process plans in the same system as the design data, and to participate fully in the engineering change process.
