This builds on a long-term relationship between Siemens and Microsoft – read the news of our recent collaboration to bring generative AI to manufacturing via Teamcenter and Teams.
Teamcenter, along with many other solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, has been available for quite some time on Microsoft Azure. While organizations can still discover, purchase and deploy Siemens Xcelerator solutions through Azure, the purpose of Microsoft’s Cloud for Manufacturing is to curate collections of business applications that achieve specific business outcomes.
Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing focuses on four primary objectives: enabling intelligent factories, creating resilient manufacturing supply chains, unlocking innovation and introducing new products, and modernizing manufacturing customer experiences. Teamcenter and the wider Siemens Xcelerator portfolio supports all of these objectives.
With its exceptional ability to integrate and manage data from diverse sources and vendors, Teamcenter fosters seamless collaboration and streamlines operations throughout the product lifecycle. Teamcenter connects people, processes and products across all product development and manufacturing through a single source of truth. Through the power of the world’s most comprehensive digital twin, companies rely on Teamcenter to plan, develop and deliver innovative products with first-time-right quality.
