“People have a fundamental need for a platform that creates an opportunity to collaborate and exchange information in order to reach intelligent decisions, and then to understand the impact of their decisions on other stakeholders,” said Joe Barkai, Practice Director, Product Lifecycle Strategies, IDC Manufacturing Insights. “The role of a better decision support system is to allow people to ‘see’ each other, either literally or virtually, communicate effectively on a common platform and then optimize and harmonize their decisions to meet each other's needs.”
Building on a strong technical foundation
HD-PLM builds on Siemens PLM Software’s strong technical foundation established through more than 30 years of software innovations. HD-PLM will expand on this foundation to deliver a consistent in-context decision support environment throughout a seamlessly integrated set of PLM solutions. Upcoming releases of NX™ software for digital product development, Teamcenter® software for digital lifecycle management and Tecnomatix® software for digital manufacturing will establish a cohesive and intuitive decision support environment throughout the product lifecycle and across the extended global enterprise. Users of these integrated enterprise solutions will have a network of cross-domain information to make decisions that are not only relevant to their work, but that take into account the impact on the other domains both upstream and downstream.
In a separate announcement also being made today, Siemens PLM Software highlights how its latest release of NX works with Teamcenter to leverage the HD-PLM framework.
“The HD-PLM technology framework builds on our legacy of breakthrough solutions while expanding on state-of-the-art innovations and leveraging emerging software, hardware and connectivity technology,” said Chuck Grindstaff, executive vice president of Products and Chief Technology Officer, Siemens PLM Software. “HD-PLM provides a technology foundation enabling our global collaborative product development team to produce a common set of integrated software tools that will identify, capture and collate the massive amount of information available both inside and outside of manufacturing enterprises, and then apply meaning to that data using a consistent, compelling and intuitive visual environment. The result is knowledge made instantly available to the right people, at the right place and in the right context to support rapid and intelligent decision making – or what we call high definition decision making.”
