"As a result, the amount of training required is very low," says Gregor Starck, manager engineering at Adient Aerospace.
The effort required for installation and ramp-up was also kept within limits. The solution was operational just one day after the order was received. Adient extracted the contact data of the aerospace partners from the legacy automotive system so that it could be automatically transferred to OpenDXM GlobalX.
Engineers at Adient Aerospace currently use OpenDXM GlobalX as a portal solution, meaning they extract the data to be exchanged from their PTC Windchill PLM system and send it manually using OpenDXM GlobalX. In order to automate and speed up the data exchange processes the company is considering the option to implement OpenDXM GlobalX Windchill integration. "PROSTEP's data exchange platform integrates very well with the company's processes and applications," comments Starck. As the range of functions grows, a switch to an on-premises installation is also not out of the question.
