PTC announced the acquisition of Relex—a company with solutions focused on reliability analysis; they plan to integrate Relex’s solutions as part of their Insight program. The acquisition of Relex expands PTC’s focus on providing solutions that enable companies to better analyze both current and future product designs for compliance, safety, reliability, and maintainability. Integration of Relex functionality with other PTC products, particularly Windchill, will enable designers and engineers to use reliability information earlier in the product development lifecycle to create better designs and reduce downstream service and warranty costs. CIMdata believes that PTC’s acquisition of Relex will add value to their Product Development System and bring new and needed functionality into the PLM environment.
