Manufacturing Data Management for Automotive

The integration of smart manufacturing systems is enabled by connecting people, systems and machines through a digital thread of information from design, manufacturing and field support. As a result, the enterprise can collaborate instantly and securely across the product design and process planning functions. By consistently and accurately connecting planning to production, we ensure that the correct manufacturing data is delivered to and accessible from the shop floor.

We are experiencing dramatic changes in manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 era. Information is at the heart of this revolution. How the information of a product’s design and manufacturing processes is authored, exchanged, and processed impacts how competitive an enterprise will be in the market. Silos of information of all the processes are being connected in a digital thread to integrate and drive advanced design, manufacturing and product support systems. The result is a digital twin of products, processes and services.

Siemens PLM Software for manufacturing process and data management enables customers to collaboratively create, validate and optimize manufacturing plans concurrently with product design. By providing a common environment for multiple disciplines that share the same requirements, leveraging the digital twin drastically improves first time quality, ramp-up to volume, and reduces cost overruns.
