Product lifecycle management software

PLM software integrates data, people, processes and diverse software applications. It connects siloed, disconnected systems, acting as a single source of truth. With PLM software, users can efficiently and cost-effectively manage information throughout the entire product lifecycle.

PLM software helps manufacturing companies accelerate innovation from concept through production. For many manufacturing companies, product and process knowledge is spread across multiple systems, databases and desktops. A secure but accessible PLM system can be used from multiple applications by diverse teams, allowing everyone to access the most up-to-date data.

Whether you are in discrete or process manufacturing, the complexity of product development is increasing with customer requirements for sustainable, premium-quality products that are compliant with stringent regulatory standards.

Only a comprehensive PLM solution can integrate your teams, data and processes to streamline product development and help you manage and overcome these complexities.

PLM solutions offer a single source of truth in every organization that ensures a single, accurate product definition — resulting in enhanced collaboration, improved time-to-market, cost savings, and better quality control. With a PLM solution in place, you are empowered to accelerate innovation across departments and disciplines faster and at scale.

Teamcenter is a software platform developed by Siemens that helps companies in discrete and process industries efficiently manage all aspects of their products, from initial design to production and maintenance. It serves as a central hub for organizing and sharing product-related information, ensuring that teams work with accurate and up-to-date data.

Teamcenter also supports collaboration among different departments and suppliers, streamlines workflows, and helps companies adhere to quality standards and regulatory requirements. Essentially, it's a tool that makes the complex process of creating and maintaining products more organized and efficient.

Teamcenter PLM software optimizes product engineering processes. It streamlines product development, reduces time-to-market, and ensures product quality and compliance across various industries. Teamcenter capabilities include:

1. Managing product data like CAD models and documents
2. Collaborating on product design and engineering
3. Automating workflows and processes
4. Tracking and managing product requirements
5. Coordinating with suppliers
6. Planning manufacturing processes
7. Simulating and analyzing product designs
8. Managing maintenance and service information
9. Ensuring compliance with regulations
10. Performing quality management and configuration control
11. Enhancing data security
12. Providing data analytics and reporting
13. Visualizing product lifecycles

PLM software improves collaborative engineering by aligning manufacturing, engineering and other key domains to increase product quality. It enables you to share and reuse product data to streamline processes and improve workflow efficiencies. All information is connected and accessible to everyone in the organization, so globally distributed teams can be sure they’re working with the most up-to-date data – enabling them to reduce time and errors while increasing productivity.

PLM tools help streamline product design by standardizing and automating processes for faster turnaround. With a PLM solution, you can streamline and reuse previous configurations and bill of materials (BOM) to manage multiple orders at the same time. They provide improved traceability from product definition documents through CAD models, which speeds up the process of implementing customer changes and reduces engineering rework.
