iRobot, maker of the Roomba robot vacuum, has been a global leader in the robotics and consumer products industries for more than 30 years. Despite a recent wave of challenges including supply chain disruptions, unpredictable demand, and uncompromising cost targets, their business has managed to navigate the choppy waters in the wake of Covid-19.

Their resilience is largely owed to the part-centric approach they’ve taken to define their products, and the product development tools and processes enabled by it. These capabilities include:

• Parts classification
• Change and configuration management
• Multi-disciplinary BOM management
• Quality management
• Supplier collaboration
• And more

During this webinar you will hear how leveraging the collaboration and real-time data access capabilities available in Windchill, iRobot has tackled component shortages, introduced new variants, and driven efficient product development during difficult times.
