Wrightbus, the UK manufacturing division of Wright Group and one of Europe's leading providers of passenger transport solutions, has adopted Windchill for product lifecycle management (PLM). Windchill, the PTC content and process management solution, has enabled Wrightbus to significantly improve its collaborative product development processes.
Wrightbus has established Windchill as its PLM platform to satisfy its needs of improving product structure management, change management and work flow control. This in turn has enabled the release of product structure data to the production system using an optimised process flow and provided accurate data release from the PLM to the ERP system. Joshua Fredberg, vice president for product and market strategy at PTC, says: "Wrightbus highlights the momentum of PLM as a critical area of investment in business innovation as market leaders strive to increase operational efficiency and maximise productivity in product development."
