Teamcenter’s proven product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions include best practices and standards-based processes that provide a wide variety of benefits, enabling you to:

Drive productivity with a single source of product and process knowledge.

With Teamcenter, you can establish a single source of product and process knowledge that connects all global team members everywhere, all the time . Your teams can access this single source to find needed information quickly, reducing the time it takes to search for information by up to 65 percent, Teamcenter also provides decision makers with better visibility into the most up-to-date product lifecycle information to make faster, more-informed decisions.

Improve global teamwork through instant collaboration.

To reduce costs and pursue worldwide market opportunities, leading companies distribute many operational functions globally. Teamcenter facilitates instant collaboration by allowing global teams to connect, communicate and share information on-demand. With Teamcenter, your teams can collaborate more easily, communicate visually, and engage suppliers earlier. You can accelerate overall product development by 25 percent and change processes by up to 30 percent.

Take control of your lifecycle with end-to-end PLM.

With visibility into your product lifecycle, you can turn your product and process knowledge into a reusable, competitive advantage. Teamcenter has the broadest and deepest solutions in the industry, from portfolio planning through product development, manufacturing, service/sustainment and retirement. Teamcenter’s end-to-end solutions enable you to better understand the impact of change and automate common functional processes throughout the lifecycle.

Speed your return-on-investment through lower cost of ownership.

Teamcenter’s easy-to-configure service oriented architecture (SOA) reduces the high cost of implementation. You can minimize deployment costs with out-of-the-box applications that don’t require costly customization. Teamcenter’s integrations with other applications, including Microsoft Office and leading CAD/CAM tools, leverage your existing technology investment and user skills to help lower the cost of ownership.

Choose the PLM leader for greater success.

Teamcenter has repeatedly delivered quantifiable business results in real-world, full production settings. Teamcenter’s proven global leadership gives you the confidence needed for your company to fully embrace PLM.

Renishaw Probes

NX and Teamcenter link manufacturing and ERP into a seamless product design and manufacturing solution. Since the early 1970s, when Renishaw created a new specialist market, the company has been an innovator in metrology, the science of measurement. Its first product, the touch-trigger probe, was invented to solve a specific inspection requirement for the Rolls-Royce Olympus engines used on the Concorde. Renishaw’s tools are now used by machine manufacturers across the world, with the healthcare and dental sectors emerging as new applications for calibration and measurement.
