Embrace cloud-based SaaS: revolutionize your BOM management with Teamcenter X

In the fast-paced world of modern manufacturing, staying ahead requires product development solutions that not only addresses current challenges but also have the flexibility to scale to accommodate future needs. As product complexity continues to surge, managing the digital twin and navigating the intricacies of the product bill of materials (BOM) become paramount. This is where cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions like Siemens’ Teamcenter X step in, offering an array of benefits that transform your BOM management journey.

The significance of BOM Management

The BOM isn’t just a list of parts; it’s the backbone of your product development process, guiding various departments from design and manufacturing to procurement and service. However, as product complexity increases, so do the challenges in maintaining an accurate, up-to-date, and synchronized BOM across different domains and the entire product lifecycle.

Unlocking efficiency and collaboration with Cloud PLM

Cloud PLM software offers a remedy to the challenges of collaboration and alignment. One of its standout features is the automatic generation of the BOM based on current inputs whenever CAD models are checked in. As designs evolve, these solutions intelligently update the BOM while retaining engineer-defined exceptions. This synchronization streamlines data from various sources needed to complete the BOM, enabling seamless release of parts and products to downstream disciplines.

The promise of a unified, digital environment

A PLM-based enterprise BOM provides a unified view of the product, where stakeholders can visualize, track changes, and validate product configurations within a collaborative, digital landscape. Beyond its technical prowess, it addresses considerations like deployment, ownership costs, and scalability, making it an attractive proposition for organizations aiming to future-proof their BOM management strategies.

Seamless onboarding and access

Teamcenter X takes the lead as a cloud-based SaaS solution designed for easy and accessible user experiences. With web-based access and no installation requirements, teams can collaborate from any device, whether they’re working remotely, in the office, or on the factory floor. The flexible subscription model eliminates the need for a significant upfront investment, offering scalability to meet evolving business demands.

“Teamcenter X will manage our Solid Edge designs and other product-related data, and since it’s a SaaS platform with no infrastructure overhead, we can immediately focus on unlocking opportunities for growth and improved efficiencies through digital transformation.”
