Mitsubishi Aircraft Selects PTC to Meet Aircraft Reliability and Maintainability Goals

PTC to Support Reliability and Maintainability Processes for Next-Generation Aircraft

NEEDHAM, MA - February 7, 2012 - PTC^® (Nasdaq: PMTC) today announced that Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation has selected PTC as its strategic partner for developing a reliability and maintainability management platform for its Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ) next-generation aircraft program.
The MRJ leverages leading-edge aerodynamic engineering and noise analysis technologies to deliver competitive economics and outstanding cabin comfort. With production planned for 2012, the MRJ is a compelling new offering in the global regional jet market, and the first new airliner produced in Japan in nearly 50 years.
To ensure its customers achieve maximum operational efficiency with each purchase, Mitsubishi Aircraft sought an advanced solution to support its reliability and maintainability management activities. This required a solution that centrally manages product improvements and enhancements (including a detailed product history), gathers and analyzes field data, and communicates necessary improvements to internal organizations and external partners.

After a thorough review of competitive solutions, Mitsubishi Aircraft selected PTC's Windchill^® Quality Solutions (formerly known as Relex^®) and PTC's Arbortext^® Service Information Solutions. The company will implement the PTC solutions in its customer support organization, with the system expected to go live before the first aircraft delivery.

"Today, PTC is proud to have achieved preferred partner status with some of the biggest and most innovative brands in the aerospace and defense industry," said Jim Heppelmann, president and CEO, PTC. "With its next-generation MRJ, Mitsubishi Aircraft is challenging the status quo of the regional jet market. We are confident that together we can help the MRJ meet the company's high standards for quality, meet the industry's requirements for safety, and meet their future customers' need for reliability."

Once deployed, the PTC solutions will enable greater collaboration across the MRJ project teams focused on ensuring the quality, reliability, and maintainability of the aircraft. PTC's quality and reliability management solutions are used today to help companies identify potential failure modes of a system, control or prevent their occurrence or effects, and track the compliance of parts and products against a wide range of commonly-used industry standards.

PTC solutions that support the needs of the aerospace and defense industry are designed to support product design and lifecycle management activities of aircraft manufacturers and suppliers, as well as of airlines and government/military organizations. PTC is a leading provider of reliability and maintainability solutions for the A&D industry, delivering solutions to 18 out of the top 20 companies, such as Boeing, Airbus, and other leading organizations.

Triumph Motorbikes Selects PTC Windchill for Enterprise PLM

Triumph Motorbikes Selects PTC for Enterprise PLM

Windchill Solution to support growth and product development needs



Needham, MA - February 21, 2012 - PTC^® (Nasdaq: PMTC) today announced that Triumph Motorcycles Ltd, the largest British motorcycle manufacturer, has selected Windchill^® for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The use of Windchill will enable Triumph to better support business growth and product development needs.
Triumph was established in 1902 and is an iconic brand not only in the UK, but worldwide. At the heart of its philosophy is a commitment to develop truly unique motorcycles that offer the perfect blend of design, character and performance. Triumph's innovation expertise and passion have driven its creation of a range of bikes, from cutting-edge super sports bikes to retro-classics and laid-back cruisers.
"Triumph motorcycles have always had a special character," said Geoff Hurst, Chief Information Officer, Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. "We pride ourselves on our distinctive design, performance pedigree, outstanding engineering and unique engine sound. With that reputation and our annual production level of 50,000 motorcycles (which includes the design of 4 new models each year and numerous updates), we felt it was key to move our product development to another level and implement a fully integrated PLM system."
As a long-time user of PTC solutions - Creo Parametric for product design and Pro/INTRALINK solution for data management - Triumph was aware of PTC's technology and capabilities. "We had used Pro/INTRALINK to its maximum capacity and, after a business evaluation, decided to deploy Windchill as a single, comprehensive PLM system to support the entire design from early-stage product development to manufacturing," continued Hurst. "We believe we will see a significant improvement in the design, production and manufacturing development times."
For automotive companies such as Triumph, Windchill can create a well-defined and orderly process for how informal and formal changes to product design are proposed, evaluated, implemented and documented. Windchill delivers a best practice change-process strategy that enables all product development parties to instantly access all necessary data in order to improve product quality, reduce product costs, minimize product inventory and improve time-to-market by minimizing manufacturing downtime.
"The automotive market is ultra-competitive and the stakes are high," said Sin Min Yap, vice president, Market Strategy at PTC. "Designing and engineering a motorcycle from the ground up is a complex process that must keep pace with the ever-changing requirements of customers. These companies require superior technology to overcome the industry's most daunting challenges. Windchill enables automotive companies like Triumph to manage customer needs, product performance, distributed collaboration, intricate global supply chains, and disparate data to put them ahead of the pack."
