PLM for cloud is changing the product development process and having a fundamental impact on the way a business operates. In this final podcast of our Teamcenter X solution, Mary McDonald, Global Industry Marketing Leader for small and medium business at Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Tim Yerby, Solution Director for Industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software, discuss some of the challenges companies face when doing product development, design, and innovation, implementing a digital environment and new technology. Companies are realizing they have limited resources, so what are the challenges and advantages of PLM for component manufacturers relevant to smaller manufacturers? This final episode provides key points of what PLM for Component Manufacturers provides: Manage CAD and PLM systems in small to medium-sized companies without the luxury of additional staff. Understand what will work in your current system that can handle the CAD data without changing the CAD system through PLM. Manage the engineering change process, running the course of integrations which does not end with PLM. Ensure the organization can utilize your CAD and BOM data (ERP, MRP and manufacturing system. Remove barriers that many manufacturers face by helping to create a more efficient process. Provide out-of-the-box solutions to most customers, even if it needs some customization; therefore, any consulting or services cost is much smaller. Use cloud or SaaS to provide a significant piece of software with a substantial commitment in capital and resources. Connect with Tim Yerby: LinkedIn Connect with Mary Macdonald: LinkedIn

PLM for medical devices covers the need of all teams involved in the whole product life cycle, from the device design development to the production and finally to regulatory submission.   In this fourth podcast in the Teamcenter X solution series, we discover the impact of cloud and PLM on small and medium-sized businesses. Alexandre Berthod, Global Marketing Manager at Siemens Digital Industries Software, and Ryan Bauer, Director of Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Solutions at Siemens, discuss the challenges of developing new medical devices and the following advantages of PLM cloud solutions.   This solution is built on the Siemens Teamcenter platform for enterprise-grade product lifecycle management and preconfigured to support core product development, quality, and regulatory activities for medical device companies.   Cloud solutions offer real benefits, focusing on core areas at a high level, including design, data management, product line management, and quality process management.   This episode includes some of the following key points: Monitors the status and performance of your team and their deliverables through multi-domain data management.

This podcast discusses how the cloud changes the product development process, fundamentally impacting how a business operates. Machine builders can blend their engineer-to-order (ETO) and configure-to-order (CTO) demands.    Engineer-to-order (ETO) comes inherently with increased risk of doing something for the first time, so it naturally follows that companies must find ways to reuse previous designs, leading to a configure-to-order (CTO) way of working.   In our third podcast in the Teamcenter X solution series, our host Chris Pennington, Global Industry Marketing Leader for Industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software, interviews Jaques Mostert, Solution Director for Industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They will discuss how customers for industrial machinery will always require a level unique to each machine as companies sometimes make different products. This episode includes some of the following key points: There is some level of reuse possible in production, as it can only be a partial copy of what was done before, resulting in an engineering environment where ETO and CTO practices are mixed. Smarter machines become integral to the product, providing greater complexity and profitability. A managed environment provides multidisciplinary teams collaborating in one place in real-time. ETO/CTO provides out-of-the-box, configured-to-order products. The cloud solution gives the ability to take control of CAD data – CAD systems supplied by Siemens and the other main CAD vendors. Factories are smarter and more automated, meaning the machines are becoming smarter, connected with more sensors, and controlled by sophisticated automation systems.   Connect with Jaques Mostert: LinkedIn   Connect with Chris Pennington: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.
