Teamcenter X for industrial machinery eBook

A nine-page eBook on using Teamcenter X, the SaaS edition of Teamcenter, in industrial machinery companies. It outlines the pressures on machine builders, from integrating mechanical, electrical, automation, electronic and software components to supporting remote collaboration, and explains how cloud-based PLM is meant to address them. It includes perspectives from a machine builder that adopted it.

What the document covers

• The industry context: disruptive influences such as supply chain and market changes, smarter connected components, and business model shifts towards energy efficiency and new services
• The difference between product data management (PDM) and PLM that extends across domains, departments and the full product lifecycle
• How Teamcenter X manages CAD designs, documents and processes across design, engineering, simulation, testing and production
• Engineering change management, design reuse and multi-domain bills of materials, including the handover from engineering BOM to manufacturing BOM
• SaaS operation: Siemens runs hardware, infrastructure, updates and support, with no perpetual licences and scaling as the business grows
• Security and remote collaboration, with collaborators given access only to the areas they need

Who it is for

Engineering, IT and operations managers at machine builders who are considering a move from file-based or on-premises data management to cloud PLM.
