| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
Story
Inside Jeld-Wen, engineering design used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of the United States. Design engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Jeld-Wen uses ThingWorx from PTC as the working layer for product design. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. The practical change is simple: engineering design has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Jeld-Wen gets from PTC is a durable place to run engineering design and a way for design engineers to see the same product design at the same time.
