From challenge to solution

The challenge

A commercial vehicle manufacturer needed to migrate large volumes of CAD documents, engineering metadata, and product structures from a legacy PLM environment to PTC Windchill. The program required metadata standardization, reliable relationship preservation, rapid execution, and minimal disruption to engineering teams.

  • Large volumes of CAD documents and engineering metadata
  • Complex product structures and engineering relationships
  • Need for metadata standardization
  • Aggressive four-month migration timeline
  • Requirement to minimize operational risk and disruption

Our approach

TEKNIKOZ supported migration execution, validation, troubleshooting, reconciliation, and data-quality activities across the transition to PTC Windchill. SQL-based checks and close collaboration with engineering and business teams helped preserve accurate engineering information through system integration testing, user acceptance testing, production validation, and go-live.

  • Executed engineering-data migration into Windchill
  • Applied SQL-based validation and reconciliation
  • Standardized metadata and resolved data-quality issues
  • Protected CAD relationships and revision integrity
  • Collaborated closely with engineering and business teams
  • Supported testing and production go-live

The business impact

  • 4 moEnd-to-end delivery
  • Large scaleEngineering data migrated
  • On timeMigration completion
  • Reduced manual validation effort through SQL reconciliation
  • Accelerated migration execution and issue resolution
  • Improved metadata consistency and data accessibility
  • Reduced migration risk while meeting project timelines
  • Enabled faster post-migration engineering collaboration

Technology stack

  • PTC Windchill PDMLink
  • Oracle Database
  • SQL
  • Windchill Migration Framework
  • CAD Data Migration
  • Linux
  • XML Configuration
  • Data Validation Tools

Why it matters

A compressed migration schedule cannot come at the expense of engineering-data trust. Structured validation and reconciliation make it possible to move quickly while protecting the relationships that product teams rely on.

The TEKNIKOZ perspective

TEKNIKOZ helps engineering organizations accelerate PLM transitions through focused platform expertise, rigorous data validation, and delivery support from migration planning through production readiness.

The outcome

The engagement completed a large-scale engineering-data migration within an aggressive four-month timeline while preserving CAD relationships and revision integrity and delivering a stable, reliable Windchill implementation.
