Designed around your business
Built for manufacturing on PTC Codebeamer and Windchill AI assistants: requirements, risks, parts, products, testing and compliance connected in one traceable digital thread — data security, engineering traceability and compliance in one step.
One digital thread for engineering and product data
PTC ALM & PLM AGENT adds an AI assistant layer on top of PTC Codebeamer (ALM) and Windchill (PLM), connecting requirements, risks, parts, product structures, tests and compliance evidence into one traceable digital thread — so software, hardware and system teams collaborate on the same data.
Built on the OSLC standard, the assistant links Codebeamer and Windchill bidirectionally: a requirement change immediately reveals affected parts, BOMs and test cases, while a part or design change points back to impacted requirements and risk items — impact analysis based on data, not guesswork.
Core capabilities (planned)
Intelligent requirements
Structured requirements with versioning and baselines. AI assists clarification, conflict and duplicate detection, with bidirectional traceability from requirements to design, code and tests.
Risk & compliance
Industry templates for automotive (ASPICE / ISO 26262), medical (IEC 62304) and aerospace. Risks link to requirements and tests; audit evidence is captured as development happens.
Test & verification
Unified test cases, execution and results. AI suggests test cases from requirements; coverage and open-defect dashboards at a glance.
Parts & BOM collaboration
Windchill manages part libraries, multi-view BOMs, CAD and technical documents; software teams always see hardware composition and versions.
Change digital thread
ECR / ECO workflows online, with AI-assisted impact analysis across requirements, parts, tests and documents. Approvals and notifications flow automatically.
AI Q&A and reporting
Ask project status, traceability chains and risk exposure in natural language; generate review reports, audit packages and management dashboards automatically.
Typical scenarios
Automotive electronics
Manage requirements and tests per ASPICE; software requirement changes automatically assessed against BOM and verification plans.
Medical devices
Complete requirement–risk–test–document evidence chain; regulatory submissions become "export ready" instead of "collect for weeks".
Equipment & semiconductor
Multi-view BOMs and configuration management for complex product variants; cross-site changes synchronized in real time.
Implementation value
Traceability out of the box
Live bidirectional traceability from requirements to tests and parts to products; audit preparation shrinks from weeks to hours.
Faster, safer changes
AI-assisted impact analysis shortens change cycles and reduces missed updates and rework.
Controlled data security
Fine-grained permissions and full audit trails; suppliers and partners only see the data views they are authorized for.
