Set top box manufacturer goes for PTC MCAD ECAD integration

With Pro/Engineer already in for its CAD/CAM/CAE, Humax says that Windchill will enable it to integrate its mechanical, electrical and software design environments into a single platform to help improve design accuracy, reduce costs and speed time to market of new products. Humax says it needed a single system that could manage all its design information from mechanical, electrical and software engineers, as well as the interdependencies between these disciplines. It chose Windchill, it says, because its secure, web-based architecture will enable all of its design teams to collaborate and identify cross-discipline issues while capturing dependencies that enable design validation earlier in the design phase. “Effectively integrating MCAD and ECAD data management processes with software development processes has the greatest potential for consumer satisfaction,” says Yong Hoon Lee, at the Corporate Innovation Division of Humax. “We must ensure the correct product components are packaged with the correct digital CE product before they are delivered to the market. After examining various proposals, we selected Windchill as the most effective solution to solve these challenges and help us improve our product development environment.”
