About the Customer
Haemonetics was founded in 1971 in Braintree, MA by Dr. Jack Latham, producing containers and bags required for blood collection. As industry needs changed, Haemonetics evolved from a medical device company focused on blood processing systems to a Global Leader in Blood Management Solutions.
Their comprehensive portfolio of devices software and services offers blood management solutions for each facet of the blood supply chain. Haemonetics helps prevent unnecessary transfusions for patients and instead provides the right blood product, at the right time, in the correct dose to the correct patient.
Haemonetics has offices in 16 countries, employs more than 1,800 people and markets its products in over 50 countries. Revenue is derived from its three major markets, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Project Overview
Haemonetics, a leading provider of blood management solutions, aimed to replace its decentralized design systems with a unified, collaborative environment. The project focused on developing a single source of truth for CAD data to improve cross-department collaboration and eliminate manual, paper-based processes. By optimizing product development and compliance workflows, Haemonetics sought to enhance efficiency, ensure data accuracy, and reduce operational costs through fact-based decision-making.
Working with the experts at XPLM helped make our user community completely self- sufficient and streamlined our time to market. They provided excellent training and guidance to get the system to where it is today.
Solution
In close collaboration with Haemonetics, XPLM implemented Oracle Agile Engineering Collaboration to establish a unified environment for all CAD deliverables. The solution replaced manual, paper-based workflows with an automated system that integrates design data across departments. Through targeted configuration, training, and onsite support, XPLM enabled Haemonetics’ engineering teams to become fully self-sufficient, accelerating product development and improving data control and compliance.
