In this talk, the managing director of Transition Technologies PSC France — a subsidiary of a Polish-founded group and a major partner of American software vendor PTC — presents PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) as a lever for industrial innovation.
After covering the fundamentals — PLM spans the full product lifecycle, from design to production, sales, and after-sales — the speaker outlines the maturity path most clients follow: starting with document management and CAD, moving to a collaborative PLM with bill-of-materials management, and ultimately reaching an extended enterprise PLM that also covers production, supplier management, regulatory compliance, quality, and after-sales tracking.
The talk is illustrated with a concrete example from the onshore wind turbine industry, where the design of the tower, blades, and electrical generation system must adapt to the conditions of each installation site. The speaker also outlines Transition Technologies PSC's methodology for supporting clients — from upfront consulting to system integration (Windchill, Creo) and ongoing operational support — closing with early use cases of agentic AI in PLM tools.
