Visiprise Joins PTC® Partner AdvantageT Program as Windchill® MPMLinkT Launch Partner
Visiprise, Inc. announced an agreement to join the PTC Partner Advantage Program at the Gold Tier Level.
Under the terms of the agreement, Visiprise will be one of a select group of launch partners supporting Windchill MPMLink, the newly announced PTC product. The combination of Visiprise's Integrated Manufacturing Operations solution with PTC's Windchill PDMLink® and Windchill MPMLink products will result in a new standard of connectivity for manufacturers across their product design, manufacturing planning and shop floor execution.
Visiprise intends on creating an integrated solution which will address the manufacturing planning and execution needs of discrete manufacturing companies in key industries including aerospace & defense, automotive & specialty vehicles, machinery and high tech.
"Our plant floor solutions have been integrating the shop floor to the enterprise for years," said Carter Johnson, senior vice president of corporate development for Visiprise. "This alliance is an extension of our commitment of providing the market with an end-to-end manufacturing and PLM solution."
Formalizing this alliance provides Visiprise and PTC customers with an integrated capability that will help reduce new product introduction times, improve regulatory compliance, and assist in achieving product and process quality improvement objectives.
"Visiprise has been influential in building solutions that connect design to manufacturing", said Alex Mackenzie, vice president, product management, manufacturing and service solutions, PTC. "This relationship highlights the importance PTC places on enabling the vision of true Product Lifecycle Management where manufacturing planning is performed concurrently with product design and is seamlessly connected to manufacturing operations."
With the digital manufacturing capabilities of Windchill MPMLink, manufacturers can reduce manufacturing costs, improve product and data quality, reduce scrap and rework, improve accuracy of manufacturing deliverables, and shorten development cycle time by concurrently developing the product designs and the manufacturing processes. This is especially important to manufacturing industries that must continually deliver new, innovative products with extreme cost and time-to-market pressures.
