Teamcenter 8 adds a ‘ribbon’ to the Microsoft Office toolbar, making it easier to interact with product information directly from within Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. The new software also embeds a ‘To Do List’ inside of Outlook, enabling users to manage their Teamcenter scheduling, workflow and engineering change assignments through the same office application they use every day.

Tecnomatix 9, the company’s comprehensive digital manufacturing suite, has several new features in areas such as process planning, robotics simulation and commissioning. The changes are designed to help companies optimise their planning and manufacturing productivity.

“In order to respond to a changing market and prepare for opportunity during economic downturns, companies need to rapidly develop new products while maintaining high quality,” said Ziyon Amram, vice president of digital manufacturing solutions at Siemens PLM Software. “The many enhancements and new functionality of Tecnomatix 9 are designed to help organisations increase both planning and manufacturing productivity resulting in production optimisation, cost reduction and the ability to efficiently reconfigure manufacturing systems to meet changing market demands.”
