Siemens Gas Turbine Parts powers up collaboration with PLM
1 min read
Siemens Gas Turbine Parts has gone live with a Teamcenter Express PLM (product lifecycle management) system in just six weeks as it ramps up its first production facilities in Shanghai, China.
As a start-up operation, SGTP needed an efficient system to manage workflow, bills of materials (BoM) and related drawings, and data from its headquarters in Germany. The company has used Teamcenter Express to set up a single-source data management system with minimal need for customisation and 90% of Teamcenter Express functions provided out-of-the-box.
“UGS Velocity Series is about speed,” says Tom Stenger, division manager technology, Siemens Gas Turbine Parts (SGTP). “Taking just weeks, Teamcenter Express is the fastest software implementation we’ve ever had.
“Implementation in the early stage of our engineering work enables us to prepare all localised documents for our high-tech components. The workflow function ensures transparency and quality to deliver the right documents on time to the production and other departments.”
Teamcenter Express is the collaborative product data management component of UGS’ Velocity Series of preconfigured digital product design, analysis, manufacturing and data management software.
SGTP was established in 2005 as a unit of Siemens’ power generation group in China to supply precision components for land-based gas turbines.
