Into Ignite Lean
  • Released parts + revisions
  • BOMs
  • ECNs
Back to PTC Windchill
  • As-built deviations
  • ECN feedback

How It Works

  1. 1Windchill publishes data via OData + Info*Engine.
  2. 2Ignite Lean uses released revisions on the kiosk.
  3. 3As-built deviations flow back to Windchill.

Recommended Workflows

How PTC Windchill works best with Ignite Lean. These are recommended patterns: Ignite Lean fires the trigger, and how PTC Windchill routes it (which work group, which device, which rule) is configured to your IT setup.

Released BOM goes live on the kiosk
Trigger A new BOM revision is released in PTC Windchill
  1. 1The connector pulls the released BOM + drawings.
  2. 2Ignite Lean swaps the active BOM on next build for that product.
  3. 3Operators see the new revision and any required retrain.
No paper traveler reprint, no missed revisions.
As-built deviation closes the loop
Trigger An operator substitutes a component or notes an assembly deviation
  1. 1Ignite Lean captures the deviation against the build.
  2. 2The connector posts an as-built link back to PTC Windchill.
  3. 3Engineering sees the deviation against the released revision and decides whether to ECN.
Engineering owns the design record and learns from every build.
