PLM Systems are your business enabler<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Every digitalisation project pays off. This has been corroborated by studies on the digital dividend. Data that is available across systems and digitalised business processes increase workflow performance, thereby adding value. Moreover, data-based decisions will improve the quality of products and processes.<\/p>\n

That is why PLM Systems often play a central role in pioneering digital projects within industry. Systems thinking moves on from sequential processes and makes it possible to rapidly implement customer wishes thanks to concise data management.<\/p>\n

PLM Software comes with a Workflow Engine for efficiently exchanging knowledge. This ensures safe, lean, and transparent workflows that provide information tailored to the task context. This enables cross-domain, agile product development that requires fewer changes due to higher development quality. It is also possible to easily integrate downstream processes into the development at an early stage. Many companies have great digitalisation potential in this area, for example in procurement and production, service and support, in addition to commercial divisions.<\/p>\n

PLM Systems thus provide the basis for cost-effective product innovations and serve as your business enabler. They enable the transparent, redundancy-free and thus cost-effective product data management that you require. And they are, next to the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), the most important Digital Thread technology \u2013 and are thus crucial for your company’s digital dividend.<\/p>\n

A platform for the Digital Thread that accelerates innovations<\/h3>\n

The much talked about Digital Thread is like a through line that consistently connects all the data that accumulates in the company across all sources, while eliminating redundancies and inaccuracies in the process. This kind of unified management, control and tracking of data provides all employees with the right information at the right time \u2013 which is the crucial prerequisite for more flexible and agile product development and for increasing digital value creation.<\/p>\n

From development and simulation through production and quality assurance, to commissioning and after-sales services \u2013 PLM Systems orchestrate all information across all systems. Even a large number of variant configurations, partly due to local compliance requirements, will remain transparent.<\/p>\n

This central product data pool is built up through PLM integration of a wide variety of authoring tools and via simple data queries from other systems<\/a>, such as ERP, CRM or RQM. Intelligent integrations are designed to support the requirements of the respective department with regard to their development processes:<\/p>\n
