HUMAX Selects Windchill® to Improve Product Development and Manufacturing of Digital Broadcasting Equipment
PTC ® announced that HUMAX Co. Ltd. has selected Windchill as the cornerstone of its electro-mechanical product development initiatives. In addition to using Pro/ENGINEER® for its CAD/CAM/CAE designs, Windchill will enable HUMAX to integrate its mechanical, electrical and software design environments into a single platform to help improve design accuracy, reduce costs and speed time to market of new products.
HUMAX is a leading developer of digital consumer electronics product and is a top manufacturer of digital Set-top boxes in Korea. With exports to more than 90 countries, HUMAX has grown into a global brand powerhouse that must consistently deliver state-of-the-art products and services to strengthen its leadership position. HUMAX required a single system that could manage all its design information from mechanical, electrical and software engineers and the interdependencies between these disciplines. HUMAX chose Windchill because its secure, web-based architecture will enable all of its design teams to collaborate and identify cross-discipline issues and capture dependencies that enable design validation early in the design phase.
"Effectively integrating MCAD and ECAD data management processes with software development processes have the greatest potential for consumer satisfaction. We must ensure the correct product components are packaged with the correct digital CE product before they are delivered to the market," said Yong Hoon Lee, Corporate Innovation Division, HUMAX. "After examining various proposals, we selected Windchill, PTC's production-proven content and process management software, as the most effective solution to solve these challenges and help us improve our product development environment."
"HUMAX's selection of PTC Windchill underscores our commitment to develop the technology and products specifically needed by the electronics and high technology industry," said Chad Hawkinson, vice president product strategy, electronics, PTC. "We are pleased that one of Korea's largest digital equipment manufacturers has selected our solutions for flexible product collaboration and data management and we look forward to continuing our work with them."
