Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced it is introducing new versions of its Teamcenter X software so that organizations of all sizes can access SaaS Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
The new Teamcenter X offerings introduce prepackaged capabilities, including process management and cross domain capabilities that bring together mechanical, electrical and electronics development and other advanced functionalities.
“This expansion of Teamcenter X continues Siemens’ mission of making SaaS PLM more accessible for companies of all sizes,” said Frances Evans, senior vice president, Lifecycle Collaboration Software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “The new additions to Teamcenter X help even more customers get started quickly with PLM and then scale to solve more business challenges using more of the Teamcenter portfolio.”
Teamcenter X implementation at Workhorse
Workhorse Group Inc., a US technology company focused on zero-emission commercial vehicles, has adopted Teamcenter X as its company standard across its electric trucks.
“Standardizing on Teamcenter X has allowed us to integrate our design, engineering and supply chain functions efficiently. Previously, our multi-CAD environment was costly and required extra resources. With Siemens, we’ve eliminated these inefficiencies and can focus on building complex electric trucks more effectively,” said Jeff Mowry, chief information officer, Workhorse Group.
“Using Siemens’ tools, we are able to effectively manage our intricate bill of materials and engineering change notices, which is key given the dynamic nature of electric vehicle production. This strategic move has not only lowered our operational costs but also strengthened our ability to protect intellectual property and ensure cybersecurity.”
Product availability
Teamcenter X is now available in four offerings. Teamcenter X Essentials delivers data management for companies focused on mechanical design. It includes CAD data management and product structures with revision management, while retaining full scalability. Teamcenter X Standard adds PLM functionality such as a simple change to management, project scheduling, document management and report generation. Teamcenter X Advanced supports companies in need of cross domain collaboration across mechanical, electronic and electrical design throughout the lifecycle of their products. Teamcenter X Premium enables a full breadth of PLM, is available on a choice of cloud provider, and is built for companies who want to harness the full capabilities of Teamcenter.
