Product Lifecycle Management for Machine Builders

A robotic arm reaches for the moon.

The world of industrial machinery and equipment grows more complex every year.

Without the right technology and procedures, machinery builders fall behind the growing competition around the world.

Product lifecycle management for machine builders can easily remedy this, filling orders faster and supporting growth into the future.

With a small investment in digitalization, companies can take a giant leap forward into a successful future.


Modular Machine Engineering Design for Machine Builders

Product lifecycle management, or PLM, for machine builders facilitates a modular approach to engineering.

A customized software system can provide the template organizations need to begin improving their business processes.

Modular machine design processes can be built quickly, and they enable machine and equipment builders to fulfill customer requirements faster and easier.

Modular machine design using product lifecycle management for machine builders also simplifies change management across the entire enterprise, encourages data and parts reuse, and improves machine reliability and longevity.

Multidisciplinary Machine Design Optimization

Machine builders can improve manufacturing productivity and efficiency with the right project management tools designed to provide better collaboration.

Product lifecycle management solutions allow machine and equipment builders to monitor and deliver on project milestones through real-time dashboards.

With increased transparency and integrated multidisciplinary design tools, engineers can work more closely together to design and build better machines in a faster timeframe and at a lower cost.

With improved multidisciplinary machine design, organizations see more innovation, stay competitive, and grow their overall market share.

Improve Manufacturing Productivity and Efficiency

Product lifecycle management for machine builders brings multiple processes and systems into a single solution.

When designers’ CAD systems, shop floor drawings, quality management systems, and more can all be found in a PLM solution, collaboration and efficiency both improve.

Manufacturing Productivity and efficiency increase when multiple departments can more easily collaborate on machine designs.
