What is Windchill Enterprise PLM Software?
Windchill Enterprise PLM software enables geographically dispersed, multi-disciplinary teams to securely collaborate both internally and externally with partners, suppliers and customers using trusted, up-to-date product information. All product-related data, including mechanical, electrical & software components, is linked with traceability to requirements, simulations, certifications, BOMs, process plans, and Model Based Systems Engineering. Capabilities include Change & configuration management, parts classification, Supply chain collaboration, Quality management, Service & Manufacturing process management and the management of complex product families & platforms.
All this information, along with its derivatives, is leveraged bi-directionally, across teams and systems, including service, manufacturing, IT, and quality, among others. Windchill allows for seamless integration with ERP, MES, CAD, AR, IoT technologies, and more. These connected enterprise systems break down organizational data silos across the value chain.
What is Windchill used for?

What is IIoT?
Why should we care about IoT?
IoT connects products and manufacturing processes to people who create and use them. This allows decision-makers and industry leaders to maximize the value of a traditional business, as well as, create new value streams through opportunities and outcomes.
What is an IoT solution?
An IoT solution solves a specific problem or question with a combination of hardware devices, network connectivity, and software applications.
What are the “things” in IoT?
Most IoT “things” generally include:
- Devices such as controllers
- Device management
- Sensors
- Data management
- Networking
What are the advantages of IoT?
Companies gain key information about the operational state directly from devices in the field or in manufacturing. It provides companies the ability to remotely control these devices with abundant information for better decision-making. This includes automation, smart cities, smart transport, performance tracking, and more. IoT improves product quality, worker productivity, and production throughput. IoT provides endless opportunities.

Below you’ll find answers to our most commonly asked questions.

What is Thingworx Navigate?
Why ThingWorx Navigate?
Most enterprise software tools are inaccessible to users due to costly licensing, intensive training, and the time it takes to integrate and customize. Non-expert stakeholders access and exchange data from disconnected systems, processes, and tools. These workarounds create a new instance of the data that is no longer under change control. Subsequent updates to the system make the workaround, and any decisions made with it irrelevant and inaccurate.
What is the relationship between Navigate and Windchill, Integrity, Windchill PLM and Windchill SIM?
Thingworx Navigate is a “system of engagement”. It is how people interact with technologies like Windchill (including PLM/SIM) and Integrity. “Systems of record” are where expert-level users work, where they manage, store and reference content. Oftentimes these “systems of record” are too difficult for casual and infrequent users to use efficiently. Thingworx Navigate is the solution that creates a more streamlined, intuitive, “system of engagement” to get the same information in the “system of record”, in real-time.
