Enables Increased Productivity and More Cost
and Planning Flexibility While Extending Product Data to the
Enterprise
PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced that KTM has significantly
increased its use of Creo® software and Windchill® software. KTM
also selected ThingWorx® NavigateTM role-based apps for
company-wide data management and fast and easy departmental access
to relevant Windchill data. The extended portfolio enables KTM to
increase productivity to achieve its continued growth targets.
Additionally, KTM has switched to PTC’s subscription licensing
model to facilitate cost and planning flexibility.
KTM, the leading manufacturer of sport motorcycles in Europe,
exceeded €1 billion in revenue for the first time in 2015 and plans
to continue its strong growth pattern into the future. Under the
philosophy “READY TO RACE,” the company designs both its KTM and
Husqvarna Motorcycle models entirely with PTC solutions. Compared
to other manufacturers, a key design differentiator for KTM lies in
its comprehensive internal development; engine, chassis, suspension
components, and many other parts are developed in-house.
Additionally, KTM is the only manufacturer that uses the same CAD
system for engine and chassis design. This tight control over
development promotes the optimization of each part with a focus on
maximum performance. Since 2001, KTM has repeatedly won the
grueling Dakar Rally, which further evidences the success of its
strategy.
“KTM always pursues innovation and proximity to customers in
order to improve our models with each new series,” said Philipp
Habsburg, director development, KTM. “Product development has to
keep up with the times. For example, we have to transfer parts or
technologies that have been proven in our racing series into our
serial models within a very short timeframe. This requires software
solutions that are both flexible and powerful, but also make the
work simpler at the same time. ThingWorx Navigate is the additional
tool we needed, as it provides the exact information required by
each department and reduces the complexity of the PLM system,
enabling our teams to be more productive. And, thanks to the
subscription model, we can respond faster and with more flexibility
as our company continues to expand.”
“Facing the challenges of fast and strong growth is a good
problem for KTM to have,” said Kevin Wrenn, divisional general
manager, PLM Segment, PTC. “Extending its use of Creo and
Windchill, and introducing ThingWorx Navigate, will enable KTM to
streamline and accelerate product development. Access to the most
up-to-date product information will enable stakeholders across the
organization to make better, faster decisions for both KTM and
their customer base.”
