Connect engineering to the shop floor. We implement, rescue, and optimize Windchill MPMLink so your manufacturing BOM, process plans, and work instructions stay in lockstep with engineering — and your teams actually use them.

Your engineering BOM is clean. Your plant still builds from spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and a manufacturing BOM someone rebuilds by hand every time engineering makes a change.
That gap between the eBOM and the mBOM is where the cost hides: rework and scrap when changes don't reach the floor, every plant running its own version of the truth, and no clean trace from a shop-floor part back to the engineering revision that drove it — a real problem when you're in aerospace, defense, or medical devices.
Windchill MPMLink is built to close that gap. Getting it to actually close it — and getting people to work in it — is what we do.
Design the transformation rules to match how your plants actually build, not a textbook ideal, and maintain plant-specific mBOMs from a single engineering source.
Stand up operations, sequencing, resources, and time standards inside Windchill instead of scattered documents.
Build standardized, reusable, visual/3D work instructions tied directly to the mBOM and process steps.
Keep the mBOM associatively linked to engineering so releases propagate instead of surprising the floor.
Feed clean, structured manufacturing data downstream as a real digital thread from engineering to execution.
Already live but stalled or under-adopted? We diagnose why and get usage back up.
MPMLink stalls when engineering, manufacturing, and quality haven't agreed on what "the BOM" means and adoption isn't earned on the floor. That's the work we lead — not just the configuration.
Across 100+ successful PLM implementations, our order has never changed — and it's why our rollouts stick instead of becoming shelfware.
PTC Certified Windchill Implementation Practitioners with deep experience in the regulated, high-consequence industries where the engineering-to-manufacturing connection can't be wrong: aerospace & defense, medical devices, automotive, and industrial equipment.
Onshore U.S. team that has operated the systems we implement.
For a major defense contractor, we implemented MPMLink in their Windchill environment: the BOM Transformer taking the eBOM to the mBOM, process plans built alongside engineering instead of after it, and one revision control across PLM and ERP.

Manufacturing and engineering leaders in aerospace & defense, medical devices, automotive, and industrial equipment who are standing up MPMLink, migrating to it, or trying to get an existing MPMLink deployment to finally deliver.
Where the eBOM→mBOM handoff actually breaks, and what adoption looks like today.
Transformation rules, process-plan and work-instruction standards, and the governance model, aligned across engineering, manufacturing, and quality.
Configure MPMLink and the integrations, staged and rehearsed.
Train champions, roll out in phases, and measure usage so it sticks.
Both — new implementations, migrations, and rescue/optimization of stalled MPMLink deployments.
Effectively yes — MPMLink builds on the engineering data and change/configuration foundation PDMLink provides. If you're standing up both, we sequence them together.
Aerospace & defense, medical devices, automotive, and industrial equipment — regulated, high-consequence manufacturing.
Getting engineering, manufacturing, and quality aligned on the BOM, designing work-instruction standards up front, and earning adoption on the floor — before, not after, go-live.
