Story
Advantest grew product lifecycle data faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Engineering and quality were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Kepware put change control on PTC. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. Advantest keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so engineering and quality do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier change control. Product lifecycle data is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join engineering and quality without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
