AI-powered predictive lifecycle assessment

⏩ Sustainable product design

Teamcenter with Makersite adds predictive lifecycle assessment to engineering workflows so teams can balance sustainability, cost and performance from the very first design decision.

Sustainability is no longer a side consideration β€” it is central to competitive product development. Companies face pressure to reduce emissions, meet compliance requirements and innovate at speed. To help manufacturers respond, we have expanded Teamcenter with AI-powered predictive lifecycle assessment (LCA) developed in collaboration with Makersite. Engineers now gain environmental intelligence directly inside their everyday tools, making sustainability part of the design process from day one.

🌍 Sustainability decisions

Bring ISO-compliant lifecycle assessment into daily engineering work, with visibility into scope 2 and scope 3 emissions so sustainability becomes part of every decision.


βš–οΈ Smarter trade-offs

Analyze cost, performance and environmental impact in real time using the most comprehensive digital twin data to move from guesswork to confident, data-driven choices.


🀝 Makersite + Siemens

β€œThe collaboration between Makersite and Siemens brings product lifecycle intelligence directly into core development workflows,” said Neil D’Souza, CEO and founder, Makersite.
β€œBy integrating with Siemens’ Teamcenter, we deliver precise, detailed insights on cost, compliance, risk and environmental performance β€” right within an engineer’s everyday tools.”

Together we are making it easier to design affordable, safe and sustainable products while staying ahead of compliance requirements.


πŸš€ Sustainable by design

β€œDriving the development of products with sustainability at the core while maintaining speed, cost efficiency and regulatory compliance requires radically expanded lifecycle intelligence,” says Frances Evans, SVP of lifecycle collaboration software, Siemens.

AI-powered lifecycle assessment in Teamcenter ensures that sustainability is built into the DNA of every product you create.

AI-powered predictive lifecycle assessment not only makes sustainable product design practical but also measurable across the entire value chain. By combining digital twin insights with scope 2 and scope 3 emissions data, manufacturers gain the transparency needed to innovate confidently while meeting customer and regulatory expectations.


πŸ’‘ What this means for manufacturers

  • Embed sustainability into daily engineering workflows
  • Access ISO-compliant LCAs with scope 2 and 3 visibility
  • Balance cost, performance and environmental impact
  • Accelerate compliance and product innovation with AI and digital twin data

πŸ” Why predictive lifecycle assessment matters

Predictive lifecycle assessment goes beyond traditional LCA by using AI and digital twin data to model environmental impact early in the design process. Instead of reacting to issues late in development, engineers can anticipate how materials, suppliers and manufacturing choices will influence emissions, compliance and costs. This proactive approach not only supports sustainable product design but also reduces risk, accelerates innovation and helps companies stay competitive in markets where regulations and customer expectations are rising quickly.


🌱 Sustainability as a business advantage

Embedding sustainability into product design is no longer just about meeting regulations β€” it is also a growth driver. Manufacturers that adopt predictive lifecycle assessment can respond faster to customer demand for greener products, win contracts that require proof of scope 3 emissions reporting and avoid costly redesigns. By aligning sustainability with innovation, companies position themselves as industry leaders while protecting long-term profitability.
