Teamcenter CNC Data Management

Teamcenter provides an environment that enables CAM users to manage the data they create and reference in a controlled and consistent way.

• Utilize a bi-directional and associative interface to store CAM setups in Teamcenter
• Access and retrieve Library Resources from Resource Manager
• Manage the CAM session in a secure and structured environment
• Store the associated NC files and shop floor documentation files with the relevant setup
• Manage the CAM setup templates and the documentation templates
  
  

Manufacturing Planning

Teamcenter enables planning engineers to work more efficiently and to collaborate better with other departments.

• Find parts and review part/setup associations
• Review associated resources
• Review NC output files and shop floor documentation
• Generate planning reports and shop documents
• Release the manufacturing process to production
• Manage engineering changes and perform impact analysis
• Launch authoring applications
  
  

Resource Management

Teamcenter provides an integrated solution for classifying and managing the resources (tools, tool holders, etc.) required for part manufacturing data including:

Classification of manufacturing resources:

• Provides a user defined classification library for resource components and assemblies
• Controls access to groups, classes and classification instances
• Offers a separate application to setup and maintain the classification hierarchy

Resource Manager interface:

• Allows users to create resource components and resource assemblies
• Automated routines for reporting, change control and workflow processes
• Manages related documents and CAD data
  
  

Data Repository including management of the following data types:

• Machine tools
• Cutting tools (cutters, holders, adapters, inserts)
• Tool assemblies
• Fixtures
• Devices
  
  
  

Shop Floor Connect

Shop Floor Connect for Teamcenter is an application add-on for Teamcenter® software that delivers CNC program files from Teamcenter directly into the machine controller. More than just a traditional DNC system, the connection to the centralized Teamcenter database avoids data duplication and manages revisions to make sure the correct manufacturing data is used on the shop floor. It also enables your production staff to access current and released CNC programs, drawings, 3D models and other data sources through a web-based user interface that runs on any browser-enabled device or controller.  Get the data sheet.

Part Planning & Validation

Tecnomatix® software’s Part Planning and Validation applications enable part manufacturing companies to accurately and efficiently define the manufacturing process plan and directly connect it to production systems. Once plans are completed, integrated production applications are available to transfer the plan data directly to the CNC machine for execution. Adopting a single source of data enables fast, easy access to the correct information and supports effective communication of the manufacturing plan to production.  Get the data sheet.

Manufacturing Process Management

Teamcenter software’s capabilities for manufacturing process management enable customers to collaboratively create, validate and optimize manufacturing plans concurrently with product design. By providing a common environment for multiple disciplines that share the same requirements, Teamcenter drastically improves lifecycle productivity between engineering, manufacturing and production. This reduces waste and increases decision value as information interrelationships are leveraged by a broader audience to arrive at better decisions in a shorter amount of time.  Get the data sheet.

Teamcenter Manufacturing Helps Connect All Domains of the Design/Build Lifecycle

Summary
Today’s manufacturing methods and processes have evolved in numerous ways over the decades with more advanced machines and production equipment, fully automated work cells, highly efficient workflow and tracking systems enabled by next-generation factory floor IT, and extremely productive workers. Yet, despite these advancements, the manufacturing build process within the context of the design/build lifecycle remains composed of the same basic domains: manufacturing planning, workflow and resource management, and shop floor execution systems. While these domains have become more complex and the solutions more sophisticated, they remain largely unconnected across the end-to-end design/build/operate/maintain lifecycle that defines today’s PLM solution set.

Manufacturers are clearly becoming more PLM-centric as they adopt and implement the extended solution set that encompasses the expanded scope of PLM across the product lifecycle. Siemens PLM Software, with its Teamcenter Manufacturing platform addresses the expanded scope of PLM and the end-to-end product/process/production lifecycle by offering a collaborative design/build platform that connects all the manufacturing domains, from manufacturing process creation to validation of as-built to as-designed.
