I caught up with an old friend who has an exciting new role as Executive Board Member and Co-Owner of PDTec, a company that I am excited to get to know better. The company offers a series of composable apps based on their data management platform, ice. NET. I love their tagline “innovation through integration” and their focus spanning data, process, and systems integration. Their solutions, based on a scalable component architecture, are designed to help engineers be more effective and efficient in product development, including:
- Simulation and systems engineering data management – SimData Manager
- PDM / PLM – CAD Portal
- Data exchange for tasks like supplier integration and collaboration – PDMconnect
In addition to these preconfigured standard offerings, PDTec can leverage their component-based platform to develop unique solutions on a consultative basis driven by their deep industry expertise.
PDTec is not a flashy software company, instead focusing on serving their customers who include majorlinke complex, discrete manufacturers with significant adoption in the automotive industry. In fact, they publicly list many German automotive OEMs as their customers, including Porsche AG, AUDI AG, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz AG, and Daimler Truck. Their customers also include tier 1 automotive suppliers such as Brose Group, Japanese automotive OEMs Mitsubishi Corporation and Nissan Motor Corporation.
PDTec is a company I look forward to learning more about. Thank you Michael Murgai for the overview.
