PTC will preview its Windchill® AI product lifecycle management (PLM) assistant, a generative AI-powered PLM offering, at Hannover Messe 2025. Windchill AI leverages all product data stored in Windchill to enable engineers to access information, make decisions, and develop their products more efficiently. Windchill AI will be demonstrated alongside PTC's Codebeamer® AI offering for requirements management and ServiceMax® AI offering for field service management.
"Previewing Windchill AI at Hannover Messe, alongside Codebeamer AI and ServiceMax AI, demonstrates PTC's commitment to advancing agentic AI use cases across the product digital thread," said Kevin Wrenn, Chief Product Officer, PTC. "PTC's agentic AI offerings enable engineers, field service technicians, and other roles to easily source product-related information, automate tasks and workflows, and make more informed decisions."
The Windchill AI preview includes the Document Vault AI agent, which enables an engineer to extract relevant product-related information from documents stored in Windchill. Use of the Document Vault AI agent could include sourcing technical documents that highlight information critical to quality control, part specifications for comparison and decision making, and past test results and methodologies for quality assurance.
PTC will provide future updates on the general availability of Windchill AI.
