Subaru Runs Engineering Design with PTC
Subaru, a consumer discretionary organization in Japan, uses Kepware from PTC to support engineering design for design engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Product design can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
| Capability | Engineering design stays visible to adjacent teams through Kepware |
Story
Subaru grew product design faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, consumer discretionary teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Design engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Kepware put engineering design on PTC. PTC provides product lifecycle management, CAD, and industrial IoT software used by manufacturers to design and service products. Subaru keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so design engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier engineering design. Product design is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join design engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
