Whether you need basic BOM management, or more advanced BOM management and configuration with greater flexibility and scalability, you can meet and exceed the market demand for more innovative and varied product offerings.
Change Management & Workflow
With Teamcenter, you can reduce the manual effort and cost of managing and tracking any PLM process. From managing change across disciplines, to executing a simple design review, to coordinating a response to quality issues, you can focus people on the right tasks, with the right data, to make the right decisions at the right time. When executing changes, you can ensure all stakeholders understand exactly what is changing and how it affects them.
Document Management & Publishing
Product documentation can be expensive to produce, and have a long life – and can be very complex, even having to meet stringent standards. Done right, documents can be very profitable, especially when they support the service business. Teamcenter can help your teams create specifications, analysis reports, 2D/3D illustrations, spreadsheets, test results, and technical publications that are aligned with product changes to reduce the time and cost of development while improving document accuracy and effectiveness.
Electrical Design Management
With Teamcenter electrical CAD, you can automate your engineering change, validation and approval processes to speed cycle time and improve product quality. By using an electrical CAD management system to capture, share and collaborate in the development of your printed circuit board (PCB) and electrical wire harness designs, you can more accurately validate their readiness for release to manufacturing.
Environmental Compliance & Product Sustainability
Stay compliant and address your sustainability needs with material and substance management, automated supplier declaration processing, environmental compliance grading and reporting, and a PLM framework product for sustainability.
Manufacturing Data & Process Management
Connect people, systems and machines through manufacturing planning using a digital thread to accumulate and manage manufacturing data and process knowledge and continuously improve operations.
Materials Data & Lifecycle Management
In this age of material driven product design, it is critical to manage the lifecycle of all the materials used in your products so that your company can create innovative, sustainable products. Teamcenter Integrated Material Management provides holistic management of material data throughout your enterprise supporting all material aspects of the product lifecycle including design, simulation, compliance and manufacturing.
Mechanical Design Management
Teamcenter brings together all your mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) data in a single product data management (PDM) environment to improve engineering productivity. Whether your company uses one or more MCAD tools, you can easily find parts and assemblies created in other tools within your preferred MCAD environment, then modify and incorporate them into multi-CAD assemblies or product designs. You can automate engineering change, validation and approval processes to speed cycle time and improve product quality.
Model Based Systems Engineering
MBSE within Teamcenter brings together multi-domain product development – mechanical, electrical, and software – and considerations like cost, reliability, and manufacturability.
Product Configuration
With product configuration, you can meet the demand for more advanced and varied product offerings, without driving up costs. Leverage the configuration backbone in Teamcenter to provide a common definition of variability across the lifecycle. Take control of product configurations – whether you deliver products with a defined set of supported variants, more complex products with an exponential number of possible variations, or engineered-to-order products that require new variants of parts and designs with every order.
Product Cost Management
Product cost management delivers a cross-functional solution to receive accurate, consistent and quick cost calculations for products and tools early in the development process. With the integrated product profitability calculation you can secure product investments by predicting future costs and prices over the entire product lifecycle. Product cost management provides a digital twin of your product and tool costs. This enables you to accurately represent planed and simulated costs to secure margins and increase profitability.
Product Requirements Engineering
The value of requirements isn’t in capturing them, but in driving the product development process. Teamcenter allocates requirements to various downstream functions/features/product architectures — all while generating the reports, documentation, and dashboards to manage the requirements process. You can create, view and edit requirements directly from familiar Microsoft Office applications, including Microsoft Word and Excel. Lifecycle Integrated requirements enables “start integrated, stay integrated” development process across the entire product lifecycle.
Program Planning & Project Execution
With Teamcenter, you can develop complex products through integrated planning and execution in a single system. This integrated approach allows dependent teams across disciplines to effectively collaborate and communicate key information — ultimately shortening time to market. It also provides better visibility across projects — enabling leaders to anticipate and avoid problems rather than reacting after the fact.
Quality & Compliance Management
Leveraging additional elements of the Teamcenter portfolio, Teamcenter Quality provides a closed-loop approach from design to manufacturing on the shop floor and backwards.
Search & Analytics
Teamcenter® search and analytics capabilities provide you with an intuitive product lifecycle management (PLM) search experience. Teamcenter visually presents search results in logical groups, with ease to drill-down through product data and quickly find what you are looking for. Reporting and analytics provides you with a web-based, easy-to-use solution that compiles and aggregates data produced throughout the lifecycle from multiple data sources. All to help you know your product better and make better decisions.
Service Lifecycle Management
Teamcenter Service Lifecyle Management software helps you increase service revenue and profit with a single source of service knowledge, based on asset performance management, for better service operation planning and execution.
Simulation Data Management
Efficiently manage and share CAE and system simulations to all your decision-makers to better understand product performance to deliver innovations faster and with greater confidence. Simulation data management is key to keeping your simulation processes tied to the broader digital thread, which is required for seamless end-to-end data reusability and traceability.
Software Design & Asset Management
Siemens Digital Industries software provides software design management by integrating application lifecycle management’s (ALM) software engineering data and processes with the rest of your product lifecycle management (PLM) tools, data, and processes. Leveraging a multi-domain integration framework, the integration of Teamcenter for PLM and Polarion for ALM enables the seamless interoperability of tools, data and processes.
Sourcing & Supplier Integration
Teamcenter provides a comprehensive approach to managing interactions with suppliers. You can coordinate processes and manage information, both internally and externally, across all stages of your product lifecycle. You can drive early supplier involvement in product development and provide visibility into accurate supplier information across departments.
Visualization, Digital Mockup & Virtual Reality
Teamcenter digital mockup and visualization capabilities allow everyone in the product lifecycle to access and collaborate with 2D and 3D design data so you can make informed product decisions. Teamcenter creates virtual prototypes from multiple mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) formats that you can use instead of building costly physical prototypes to perform more specialized studies, such as ergonomics and path planning. Virtual reality (VR) design reviews allow you to immerse yourself in the virtual world of the product’s digital twin.
