Managing Product and Process - NX Managed Development Environment
Process transformation requires more than CAD, CAM and CAE software applications. Companies also need tools that control product information and enable continuous process management and improvement.
"UGS' products are a total suite of collaboration tools," said Steve Nevey, Jaguar Racing. "An important aspect of the UGS system at Jaguar Racing is the data management tools, which are the backbone to the whole system and to a large extent to the whole company, making engineering and other information available to everybody."
NX augments all product development applications - models, drawings, specification documents, simulation and test scenarios, data and results, tooling and manufacturing data, embedded knowledge - with the NX Managed Development Environment, a set of management tools that are fully integrated, unobtrusive and scaleable to match the organization's requirements.
Protect, control and reuse product information
The NX Managed Development Environment delivers essential data management capabilities with every NX application. These enable all product definition information to be captured, managed, protected and reused through vaulting, check-in and check-out and access control.
Scale to your requirements
The Managed Development Environment is a scalable solution - from simple vaulting to engineering process management, continuous digital validation, multi-site integration, requirements management and manufacturing planning. Customers can implement these solutions in phases, each phase delivering greater returns on investment.
Uniquely suited to product development
Unlike conventional data management solutions, the Managed Development Environment was developed to meet the requirements of product developers. It fits seamlessly into the development workflow, removing the need for engineering personnel to worry about data management actions such as file check-in and check-out. By automating these processes and automating procedures such as release and sign off, the Managed Development Environment is transparent and far less intrusive than other solutions.
From the leader in development process management
The NX Managed Development Environment is powered by Teamcenter, the leading integrated portfolio of PLM solutions from UGS. It builds on UGS' extensive experience in managing complete development processes for successful manufacturing organizations worldwide. NX customers can access these powerful tools in a phased, incremental approach, attaining the benefits of PLM in a way that makes sense for their businesses.
