Windchill Customization Case Study “Without I-Cubed’s willingness to partner with us to find a customized solution, we wouldn’t be able to take full advantage of Windchill and meet our industry’s regulated product development requirements.” -Jeffrey Slocum, LMSI Product Data Management Team Lead Project Details • • • The Challenge Requirement to use CATIA V5 R16 and PDMLink 8.0 with the Windchill Aerospace and Defense PDMLink Module, an environment not supported by PTC. The Solution I-Cubed customized CATIA V5 Workgroup Manager to operate in the PDMLink Windchill Aerospace and Defense PDMLink Module environment. The Result LMSI met regulated product development requirements by leveraging I-Cubed expertise in developing customized CAD integrations. Summary Lockheed Martin Systems Integration met regulated product development requirements by leveraging I-Cubed expertise in developing customized CAD integrations. Customer Profile Lockheed Martin Systems Integration (LMSI) is a leader in providing advanced technology products, services and systems integration solutions to defense, civil and commercial customers worldwide. LMSI is also one of the largest suppliers of postal automation systems to the United States Postal Service, and a primary supplier of information technology solutions in the federal market. It employs more than 4,000 people at facilities in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Customer Needs In order to meet complex product development requirements within the Aerospace and Defense industry, LMSI deployed Windchill PDMLink 8.0. LMSI required the use of CATIA V5 R16 and PDMLink 8.0 with the Windchill Aerospace and Defense PDMLink Module (WADM) installed, an environment not supported by PTC. Solution Profile Knowing about I-Cubed’s expertise in developing 3rd party Workgroup Managers (WGM), coupled with a deep understanding of current and future Windchill releases, LMSI partnered with I-Cubed to find a solution. As a result, I-Cubed provided: Customization of CATIA V5 Workgroup Manager to operate with WADM CATIA V5 Workgroup Manager installation and training for LMSI administrators Enhanced support for the customized CATIA V5 WGM for WADM • • • [email protected] • 800.478.1931 • www.i-cubed.com Because PTC did not certify the CATIA V5 WGM for WADM, I-Cubed agreed to validate and certify this CAD integration solution themselves. To facilitate the certification LMSI provided PDMLink and WADM configurations. Additionally, LMSI submitted a series of use cases that were used in the certification process. Determination and development of WGM customizations and configurations along with the initial certification of the WGM in the WADM environment were performed at I-Cubed’s Raleigh, NC location and then delivered to LMSI. I-Cubed also provided training for the LMSI administrators including installation and configuration of the WGM for CATIA V5 at LMSI. Upon completion of the training, the LMSI administrators were able to install and configure the CATIA V5 WGM onto the production Windchill PDMLink server and support the deployed installation. Additionally, I-Cubed provided support for CATIA V5 WGM patches and customization and CATIA V5 R16 maintenance updates to LMSI. [email protected] • 800.478.1931 • www.i-cubed.com
