Benefits
Benefits of embedded PLM for discrete manufacturers
Accelerate product development
Integrate easily with core business tools and manufacturing systems to speed up product development and launch. Simplified workflows reduce delays, ensuring products reach the market quickly, efficiently, and profitably.
Improve outcomes for BOM changes
Use powerful tools and embedded GenAI to inform and manage product changes and updates. Connect product engineering to your supply chain, predict the impact of engineering changes, reduce the cost of quality – and make data-driven decisions from concept to production.
Improve team collaboration
Break silos across engineering, production, and supply chain teams with shared access to accurate product data. Integrate suppliers, subcontractors, developers, customers, and stakeholders – in real time.
Digitise the product value chain
Enable seamless data continuity and backward traceability across the value chain – from product conceptualisation and design to production and after-sale services.
Capabilities
PLM capabilities purpose-built for discrete industries
Management of complex products
Supports MTO, CTO, ATO, and MTS manufacturing with tools for design, planning, and lifecycle management. This ensures precise oversight of product development and engineering processes for the most complex scenarios.
Holistic product lifecycle insights
Provides tools to proactively analyse impacts on costs, schedules, and quality. Enhanced visibility ensures risks are spotted and mitigated early, delivering smoother execution across all stages of the product lifecycle.
Streamlined engineering workflows
Simplifies and standardises business processes with workflows for engineering change management – automating approvals, reducing errors, and helping all your teams work better together.
Integration with multi-CAD systems
Integrates smoothly with multiple MCAD and ECAD systems to ensure data continuity. PLM software embedded with ERP enables cross-functional system interoperability.
Unified product data management
Centralises product information to provide a single source of truth with robust revision control. This improves data accuracy and compliance – both internally and across your global ecosystem.
Built-in digital thread and digital twins
Digitises the product value chain and delivers lifecycle traceability. Rely on as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained views for BOM comparisons and fewer production errors.
Customer-centric tools
Incorporates customer requirements into your product roadmaps to align with market needs. Ensure real-time visibility into product introduction schedules and budget with project control.
Connected engineering ecosystem
Allows engineering teams to cooperate securely in real time with design, procurement, and supply chain. Includes built-in tools and AI and RPA solutions that deliver efficiencies for co-design, product summary and multi-language translations.
A huge benefit of PLM Discrete is easy access to document revisions. You are always sure you have the latest revision available. Sharing of documents is easier between departments.
