Gamesa builds and installs wind turbines across the world. The Product Development Company (PTC) has said that operation and maintenance of these installations require an enormous amount of personalized documentation, deemed complex to maintain and update.
The delivery of accurate and high quality tailored technical publications, in a timely and cost-effective manner is reportedly a key factor for Gamesa in meeting its customers’ ever increasing expectations.
Gamesa has been a longstanding customer of PTC and uses the Windchill solution to manage and control all product information that, in the case of Gamesa, is originated by a variety of CAD systems.
With this investment, Gamesa is hoping to add another integral component of the Product Development System (PDS), Arbortext, to address the management of all product-related documentation in an integral manner with the rest of the product information.
Gonzalo Coloma, head of product support at Gamesa, said: We expect PTC’s software to greatly enhance efficiency and productivity of our technical publications process. The availability to automate the creation of the different document types and reuse information will let us provide our customers better and more consistent documentation in less time. Customers will also benefit from these improvements as better documentation facilitates usability and maintenance of our products.
