McHale Engineering Go Live
McHale Engineering Limited have gone live with an installation of Pulse PLM Suite. McHale specialise in the manufacture of agricultural equipment.
The company have invested heavily over the years in state of the art production facilities including laser cutting and robotic welding to streamline production. They have also invested in Pro/ENGINEER as their 3D CAD software and Syspro for all their accounting and ERP needs. McHale were using a file management system to manage their Pro/ENGINEER data but were not happy with its performance and some aspects of functionality. They began the search to update their data management systems.
After some time McHale had narrowed down the list of possible solutions to two. PDMLink from PTC and Pulse PLM Suite from Pulse Systems. After extensive demonstrations and testing McHale chose the Pulse system.
Speed was a crucial factor in our decision. Retrieving models from the old system was very slow. Engineers would often leave their work stations while an assembly was being pulled from the server. In talking with other customers using Pulse PLM Suite we believed that Pulse PLM Suite could improve this download time. Now that we have gone live we can’t believe the improvement. With the old system an assembly would take over 20 minutes to retrieve, now with Pulse this is down to 2 minutes. James Heaney, the Design Office Manager at McHale’s
McHale plan to roll out further modules of Pulse PLM Suite to encompass the after sales service management for their farm equipment. Giving McHale the ability to manage their products throughout their lifecycle from design through to in field service.
