AI-powered Lifecycle Assessment Software Available from Siemens

Siemens Digital Industries Software has expanded its Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management to add AI-powered Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) capabilities. Teamcenter®Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment software allows designers, engineers and manufacturers to use AI and supply chain data to develop sustainable, compliant products.  
 
"Driving the development of products with sustainability at the core while maintaining speed, cost efficiency and regulatory compliance requires radically expanded lifecycle intelligence to be available across the entire manufacturing organization," says Frances Evans, senior vice president, Lifecycle Collaboration Software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. "As industrial companies face challenging global compliance requirements and the need to reduce environmental impact, we are enabling our customers to leverage AI to design for sustainability, enable circularity, and optimize material choices from the start."

Developed in collaboration with Makersite, Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment is one way Siemens is leveraging industrial data from the digital twin for new insights. By adding AI-powered, predictive LCA data and analysis capabilities to Teamcenter, Siemens is adding  lifecycle intelligence that delivers insights for informed design and manufacturing decisions, SIemens says. 
 
The Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment solution allows engineering and manufacturing teams to assess a product’s environmental compliance, supply chain risk and cost early and throughout the product’s lifecycle.
 
Product teams can access ISO-compliant LCA reports with visibility into indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3) during early product development to enhance the sustainability, compliance, and long-term profitability of their products. Users can also analyze the results of multi-criteria simulation embedded directly into the product’s bill of materials in Teamcenter to support trade-offs between cost, performance and sustainability factors.

"The collaboration between Makersite and Siemens brings product lifecycle intelligence directly into core development workflows,” says Neil D'Souza, CEO and founder, Makersite. “By integrating with Siemens’ Teamcenter, we deliver precise, detailed insights on cost, compliance, risk, and environmental performance - right within an engineer’s everyday tools, from early product design to manufacturing bills of materials.”
