Pure Variants

Make your engineering processes faster, simpler and more reliable – with holistic product line engineering (PLE). Increase your company’s value, both immediately and sustainably, by creating room for new innovations. The challenge: These days, products are often created with many variants to ensure a fast and flexible response to unforeseen customer requirements. This wealth of variants is reflected across all areas of development, driving complexity in both hardware and mechanics, as well as software. It’s a real challenge, but also a real window of opportunity as the management of all the individual elements can be simplified and, therefore, accelerated – if the right development approach is adopted. The solution: A surefire path to success lies in product lines where everything, from initial requests to hardware and software components, right up to testing, is developed with not just one product in mind, but an entire lineup of products. This works because components and engineering artifacts belonging to similar products often share a common basis which differs only when it comes down to product specifics. By considering these similar products as a whole, and not as individual, independent one-off projects, the development process can be simplified, meaning managing it can be too. This is the guiding principle behind the product line approach. The perfect tool: With our product Pure Variants we have developed just the right tool for this approach: It’s flexible, meaning it can manage your development with all its variants, components, limitations and usage requirements, just like that. It’s quick. It’s secure. It’s innovative. And integration is a piece of cake. pure-systems is a PTC company.
