Siemens PLM Takes Teamcenter to Tablets

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software has announced its new Teamcenter Mobility mobile device app for instantly accessing — from Wi-Fi or mobile broadband-available locations — the product knowledge managed by its Teamcenter software.

Through the use of this new app, which is being initially deployed on the Apple Inc. iPad, companies interact with product data and workflows “at the right time, in the right place and in the right context,” according to Siemens.

“Due to their accelerated worldwide adoption and their role as a company’s single source of all product and process knowledge, PLM systems have become a competitive necessity for the global manufacturing community,” says Joe Barkai, practice director, Product Lifecycle Strategies, IDC Manufacturing Insights. “However, in order to effectively leverage this vast pool of information for fast and intelligent decision making, it needs to be made instantly available to all stakeholders in the product lifecycle process at the point of activity that decisions are made. Teamcenter Mobility helps make valuable product knowledge much more accessible to a significantly broader audience of users throughout the extended enterprise.”

Teamcenter Mobility is available immediately and currently enables the user to search, display and interact with detailed product information, including 3D product models. The initial implementation is being deployed via iPad with additional platform and functionality support to be announced at a later date, according to the company.
