SIEMENS PLM Software has simultaneously launched the latest version of its Teamcenter and Tecnomatix software, which it says will help manufacturing customers cut costs.
Siemens claims Teamcenter is the world’s most widely used product lifecycle management (PLM) system, while Tecnomatix is a comprehensive suite of digital manufacturing solutions.
According to Siemens, its software allows manufacturing companies to elevate and optimise their overall productivity. The latest versions of Teamcenter and Tecnomatix focus on creative tools and features to increase efficiency.
Siemens says Teamcenter 8 allows individual users to access product information and collaborate globally, using common tools and processes without additional software or training.
There are also new applications for Content and Document Management with Microsoft Office 2007 integration, along with Formula, Package and Brand Management.
Teamcenter 8 has an open service-oriented architecture (SOA) and support for IBM’s DB2 Information Manager and several other IBM middleware products.
Siemens claims Tecnomatix 9 helps improve manufacturing productivity in a variety of areas, including the optimization and commissioning of robots and automation equipment, manual workplace configuration to achieve output and safety objectives, efficient placement of factory equipment and material flow optimization.
