PTC has also simplified the Windchill system administration tools to improve reliability and lower overhead associated with running a Windchill installation. For example, the new PTC System Monitor continuously checks the Windchill production environment to give administrators greater visibility into system performance, allowing proactive detection of potential bottlenecks before they impact end users, and reducing time to repair.

Finally, Windchill continues to build on the dramatic improvements PTC introduced in its user experience, making great use of graphical information and further simplifying workflows to accelerate tasks. For example, the new Relationship Explorer allows users to visually navigate between related parts, documents, CAD designs, requirements, and change objects. This allows users to quickly navigate across product structures to find the information they need.

More information will be shared at PTC’s upcoming annual user event, PlanetPTC Live.
