03 — PLM & MES consulting
From the design office to the shop floor, product data that flows
We support manufacturers with PLM and MES projects built on the PTC suite: scoping, configuration, data migration, ERP integration and change management, all the way to adoption by the teams.
PLM: product data under control
A single reference for parts, drawings, bills of materials and their changes, shared between design, manufacturing engineering, purchasing and quality.
- Scoping: design processes, part lifecycle, change management
- Windchill deployment and configuration: bills of materials, approval workflows, access rights
- Creo CAD integration and version control for your models
- Migration of existing data: shared folders, legacy PDM, spreadsheets
- PLM–ERP link: parts and bills of materials passed to production and purchasing without re-keying
MES: the connected shop floor
Know what is happening on every machine and every work order as it happens, rather than at the end of the week.
- Machine and operator data collection with ThingWorx and Kepware
- Real-time production monitoring: OEE, downtime, scrap
- Traceability of work orders and batches
- Dashboards for shop-floor supervisors and management
- Feedback to the ERP: quantities produced, material consumption, time spent
Our approach
A PLM or MES project succeeds when people actually use it. We start from your real processes, deliver in short stages beginning with a pilot scope, and train the teams as the project progresses: design, manufacturing engineering, quality, production.

A consistent information system
PLM and MES do not live in isolation: our strategy & IT consulting practice fits the project into your IT master plan, and your ERP — including Dolibarr — receives parts and bills of materials.
