Arena QMS (PTC)
Product-centric QMS connected to the product record.
Overview
Arena, a PTC business, offers a cloud-based platform that combines Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Quality Management System (QMS). This unique integration connects quality processes directly to the product record (bill of materials, design files, etc.). This ensures that quality issues, CAPAs, and changes are managed in the context of the product design, which is critical for complex electronics, high-tech, and medical device manufacturers.
✨ Key Features
- Integrated PLM and QMS
- CAPA Management
- Document Control
- Audit Management
- Supplier Management (SCARs)
- Training Management
- Direct link between quality events and product BOMs
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Unified PLM and QMS on a single cloud platform
- Product-centric approach to quality management
- Strong focus on high-tech, electronics, and medical device industries
Unique Value: Arena connects quality directly to the product record, providing a single source of truth for the entire product lifecycle and ensuring that quality is an integral part of product development, not an afterthought.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- A high-tech electronics company managing engineering changes and related quality actions in one system.
- A medical device manufacturer linking a CAPA directly to the affected components in the product's bill of materials.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Companies that do not design their own products (e.g., pure distributors)
- Organizations that do not need PLM functionality
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike standalone QMS systems, Arena provides the context of the full product design (BOM, specs, etc.). Compared to traditional, on-premise PLM systems, it is a more modern, accessible cloud solution.
