Siemens PLM Industry Catalyst Series

Siemens has introduced a series of industry-specific PLM software offerings. The Industry Catalyst Series consists of a prepackaged combination of industry best-practice guides, templates and software aimed at accelerating PLM deployment and tailoring the system to the needs of specific industries. The series is designed to increase a company’s overall return on its PLM investment, as well as the speed at which ROI is realised. The Industry Catalyst Series will work with one or more Siemens PLM Software offerings as well as in combination with third-party PLM solutions. Individual Industry Catalyst Series offerings will be announced over the next several months.

Over the past several years, most organisations have come to appreciate how PLM technology and processes can help them increase productivity and efficiency, but have been slow to implement a full scope PLM solution, or to adopt the latest technology for their existing PLM system. This often stems from concern about costs and business disruptions associated with the need to customise standard PLM technology to their specific needs. The Industry Catalyst Series minimises disruption by delivering an industry-tailored deployment more quickly.

Individual series offerings will be announced for a variety of industries including automotive, electronics, consumer products, marine, energy, machinery, medical device and aerospace. In addition to supporting multivendor PLM implementations, the series offerings will work with all of Siemens’ enterprise-level PLM software products including NX software, the Teamcenter portfolio for digital life-cycle management, the Tecnomatix portfolio for digital manufacturing and LMS software for test and mechatronic simulation.
