Product data under control

Efficient product innovation and product development without information technology? Service and maintenance processes without updated product data and product configuration? Shared product development and production without shared data management? More than ever the efficient, seamless allocation and management of your actual project and product data throughout the business processes are crucial for your success.

Benefit from our experience of more than 20 years PLM practice. We define and implement for you the best PLM strategy and IT system environment (PLM, CAx, project management systems) throughout the whole life cycle of your products. It does not matter if you like to expand your existing PLM system landscape or to replace your legacy systems or if you stand right at the beginning of Product Lifecycle Management. With Life Cycle Engineers you keep your product data under control!

(1) We have a strong PLM strategy for you - considering your corporate and IT strategy,  we set up, validate and position your PLM strategy and do the implementation together with you. Here one main target is an integrated, seamless usage of the virtual product starting with the innovation, product development processes up to the processes in production and maintenance.

(2) We design and link your business processes with information technology efficiently – as process experts of many different industries we are able to understand and improve your processes methodically using our best practice experience. Not till then we derive the requirements for an optimized support by IT systems and for their implementation.

 

(3) We enhance your existing PLM implementation – in view of many projects and IT implementations in the PLM area it becomes apparent that many potentials are not tapped consequently. Considering costs and benefits we bring your PLM system environment to the next efficiency level and we do this together with your users - across company and department borders. Product developers of mechanical, electronic or software components work on the same product data basis - independent of their site allocation. All project and product data is available in one integrated platform, that helps to take and document decisions.

 

(4) We integrate engineering methods to a new effect – because QFD, FMEA, DVP&R, testing and validation based on one common functional product model allow a maximum of seamless transition beginning with the product concept to all development disciplines and service. In this manner today the complete customer order processing can be supported by the current PLM systems.

 

(5) We provide you with experienced Project Manager -  experience from numerous, successful, internationally implemented PLM projects in different industrial sectors enables us also to carry out large scale projects. Regardless of the targets of PLM system manufacturers, we implement your PLM project, even as a prime contractor in-time, in-budget and in-quality considering and matching your specific objectives.

 (6) We are replacing legacy systems - the replacement of legacy systems and the associated data migration are complex and sensitive tasks. Often triggered by corporate merger and acquisitions these projects also require specific measures in the change management of the organization. Technical challenge is the restoration of complex assemblies and BOM structures, and the specific object relationships in the target system.

(7) PLM-Services - we support you in the operational management of your product data, whether in the maintenance of master data or to assist in the management of product changes. Also we evaluate and carry out the reduction of product variants and parts diversity, as well as product portfolio adjustments. Time-limited, or out over a longer period, we provide experienced staff available who are also able to support the training of your own staff in order to accomplish the ongoing tasks by yourself.
