Case Study: Leading Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Company achieves PLM–ALM convergence and real-time traceability with Kovair Software (Omnibus)

Leading Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Company faced disconnected engineering domains as IoT-driven products combined mechanical, electronic and software elements, while their PLM (PTC Windchill) did not natively support OSLC-based integration with ALM tools like IBM Rational RTC. Kovair Software was engaged to address the lack of cross-tool traceability and the risk of missed impacts across distributed design and software teams using its Omnibus platform and OSLC expertise.

Kovair Software implemented Kovair Omnibus with an OSLC Provider for Windchill, embedding delegated UI so users can link Windchill Change Requests/Notices to RTC work items, view live data on hover, and edit items from either tool without copying data. The integration delivered immediate cross-functional visibility and traceability, reduced data duplication, improved collaboration and product quality, and helped lower product tickets and accelerate innovation across the organization.
