The latest updates to Teamcenter Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) focus on creating a smarter, faster, and more connected service experience. This release is packed with exciting new features and capabilities that will transform your service lifecycle management practices by improving accuracy, streamlining planning, and simplifying execution.

Service Planning

Our service planning tools are now more intuitive, saving you time and reducing potential errors:

Leverage AI to generate Service Plans from service documents

Precision Search in Find-in-Structure: This enhancement allows users to locate components within service plans by specific names or attributes. This feature improves efficiency by facilitating quick access even to complex and deeply nested components in large service plans.
Excel Round-Trip Editing: Users can export service plan properties into Excel for detailed analysis and editing in a familiar environment. Once modifications are made, these can be re-imported back into Teamcenter, ensuring seamless integration of updates and reducing errors.
AI-Powered Service Plan Generation: Harness the power of AI by uploading reference files to automatically generate a complete service plan. Users can then review, edit, and finalize these plans in Active Workspace, significantly speeding up the planning process with AI-assisted accuracy.

These planning enhancements ensure that creating and managing service plans becomes more efficient, flexible, and accurate, improving your time-to-service and maintaining data integrity.

Enhanced Service Events for Operational Excellence

Create an association Service Event to link different physical structures together for traceability and maintenance

We’re tackling common service challenges with robust new event controls:

Delete Uninstall Part Movement: Easily eliminate unused or outdated data, helping to keep systems clean and streamlined, which reduces clutter and potential confusion within service records.
Edit Action Dates: This allows users to adjust dates directly on the timeline for Uninstall Part Movement, eliminating the need for duplicate records when timeline corrections are necessary, simplifying the management of service records.
Geographical Transfer Events: Enhance asset traceability with distinct arrival and departure events during asset relocations. This clear separation ensures full traceability and transparency in tracking asset movements across different locations.
Association Service Events: Improve coordination across different service and asset contexts by linking various physical structures, giving service teams clearer insight into interconnected service events, and improving operational coordination.

These new controls provide the precision and clarity needed for teams to execute services both accurately and efficiently.

Product Support Data Management (PSDM)

Import GEIA-STD-0007 standardized product support data

Improve your logistics and engineering processes with these advancements:

Support for GEIA-STD-0007C: Import standardized product support data from legacy systems. This integration allows users to preview how data will map into Teamcenter, ensuring smooth transitions, compliance, and data integrity during integration.
Generate LSA-024 Report: This report offers a comparative analysis of maintenance planning, analysis, and review throughout the development cycle. It aids in optimizing resource utilization and ensuring regulatory compliance, which is essential for maintaining operational excellence.
