STRATEGIC ADVISORY

Emporion Metis

Challenges that have stalled call for a clear outside perspective — not another thick report.

Metis is about the moment before you build: clarifying the real question, weighing the options honestly, and charting a route that matches what your organization can actually handle. Not tunnel vision from a single vendor, but advice that accounts for people, processes, and technology together.

Independent perspective

No stake in any one vendor or platform — advice grounded in your situation, not in whatever happens to need selling.

Sharp diagnosis

We look for the root of a stalled problem, not the symptoms — so the solution that follows actually sticks.

Pragmatic route

Concrete, actionable steps instead of a report that disappears into a drawer.

INSTALLATION & MANAGEMENT

Emporion Phylax

A PLM environment that doesn't just go live, but keeps running — today and two years from now.

Phylax covers what begins after go-live: installation following a repeatable template, ongoing management, and automated CI/CD pipelines for every change. Not loose habits from different people, but a process that keeps working even when we're not watching.

Careful installation

From sandbox to production: we set up your PLM environment following a fixed, proven template — reproducible and documented, not manual work no one else can repeat.

Ongoing management

Updates, patches, and health checks without surprises. Your environment stays stable and current, even when the vendor ships another release.

CI/CD pipelines

Changes tested and rolled out automatically — from development environment to production, with the same control at every step.

AI-ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT

Emporion Tekton

Software development at the speed of AI — without compromising on quality or customization.

Tekton combines our PLM and software experience with AI-assisted development tools. Where a traditional project takes weeks, Tekton delivers a working, tested solution in days — built around your systems and processes, not a generic template.

Faster turnaround

AI speeds up writing, testing, and documenting code — from idea to working solution in days, not weeks.

Higher code quality

Automated reviews and tests catch issues early, for consistent, maintainable code — never rushed.

Custom-built, not templated

Every solution is built around your systems and workflows — not the other way around.

OPEN SOURCE

Extensions

We share practical Windchill extensions for free and open source wherever we can.

No form, no account, no tracking — just the source code, under an open license, downloadable directly from GitHub. As far as we're concerned, trust isn't proven with a promise, but by giving away something useful, no strings attached.

IN DEVELOPMENT
wc-excel-importer

Creates, updates, and maintains WTParts, BOMs, equivalent-link relationships, and more — directly from Excel.

Windchill
Coming soon on GitHub

About Emporion

The word Emporion comes from Ancient Greek and means marketplace — a place where trade and knowledge come together. EMPORION was founded in 2024 on that idea: giving clients a place where PLM knowledge is shared.

Our mission is simple: deliver solutions that work. Not just for you, but for all our clients — through a shared pool of PLM solutions that grows with every new engagement.

NEW AT EMPORION

EmporAI

IN DEVELOPMENT

A knowledge-driven application platform that lets organizations generate enterprise applications, workflows, and integrations from domain knowledge, business rules, and existing APIs.

Instead of manually building screens, data sources, and processes, experts model their knowledge as reusable capabilities. The platform automatically translates this knowledge into user-friendly applications, workflows, and integrations that connect to your ERP, PLM, MES, and CRM systems.

Less complexity

No more manually building screens, data sources, and processes.

More reuse

Knowledge captured in reusable capabilities, not in silos.

Faster digital transformation

From domain knowledge to working application, with no detour.
