The new Teamcenter Mobility™ mobile device application (app) enables instant access — from WiFi- or mobile broadband-available locations — to the rich and comprehensive product knowledge managed by Siemens' Teamcenter® software , the world’s most widely used digital lifecycle management solution. Through the use of this new app, which is being initially deployed on the Apple Inc. iPad® portable digital device, companies can enhance their ability to interact with product data and workflows at the right time, in the right place and in the right context to further enhance the speed and accuracy of decisions made throughout a product’s lifecycle.

Key Facts

Teamcenter Mobility - Anywhere, Anytime Decision Making

Companies in all industries need to rely not only on the valuable input of conventional office-based personnel, but also on critical feedback from individuals who may be working in less conventional locations. This mobile workforce can include executives and other travelling managers who spend a significant amount of time in airports, on airplanes or attending meetings at remote locations. It could also include field personnel working inside a partially assembled airplane fuselage or walking the shop floor of an automotive assembly line. Teamcenter Mobility enables these individuals to quickly search, view and interact with product and process workflow information on the spot using a convenient mobile device.

Smarter Decisions for Better Products

Teamcenter Mobility enables decision makers to make critical decisions without delay using the most up-to-date information, while allowing contributors to provide their unique perspective in real-time. As a result, companies can react quickly and intelligently to the rapidly changing environments associated with all product lifecycle disciplines such as design, simulation, manufacturing and maintenance. In short, Teamcenter Mobility helps companies make smarter decisions for better products.

Quotes

“Due to their accelerated worldwide adoption and their role as a company’s single source of all product and process knowledge, PLM systems have become a competitive necessity for the global manufacturing community. However, in order to effectively leverage this vast pool of information for fast and intelligent decision making, it needs to be made instantly available to all stakeholders in the product lifecycle process at the point of activity that decisions are made. Teamcenter Mobility helps make valuable product knowledge much more accessible to a significantly broader audience of users throughout the extended enterprise.”

“Teamcenter Mobility is an exciting and significant evolutionary step in delivering the HD-PLM vision we announced last summer. By making up-to-the-minute Teamcenter data available at the necessary point of activity, our customers can act immediately on accurate information and further reduce their design and production cycle times. This is entirely consistent with the vision of HD-PLM to help our customers make smarter decisions that result in better products, thus enabling them to establish the competitive advantage of being the first to deliver innovative solutions the market will embrace.”
