Supply chain software is more powerful, quicker
New powerful suite of Web-based applications enables sharing and viewing of manufacturing project and process information across the extended enterprise and supply chain.
Customers are the clear beneficiaries of this strategic relationship and are being rewarded with a level of interoperability between solutions previously unmatched in the industry.
This will translate into tangible costs savings and dramatic reductions in the planning process." "This is just the latest outcome of the close collaboration between UGS PLM Solutions and Tecnomatix," said Harel Beit-On, chairman and chief executive officer of Tecnomatix.
"Factory CAD customers can now run extensive simulation and analysis on their factory models, while Tecnomatix eM-Plant users will be able to create even more detailed plant layouts.
Working together, UGS PLM Solutions and Tecnomatix are helping manufacturers reduce planning time and increase quality." The integrated solution is based on SDX, the standard for data exchange between 3D factory design and simulation.
The collaborative approach allows manufacturers to generate a simulation model from 3D layout data automatically, then visualise, evaluate and optimize the production system.
This new collaboration will enable companies to reduce factory planning time and associated re-design costs by verifying system layout, feasibility and performance throughout the entire design process.
"The integration of Factory CAD and eM-Plant allows simultaneous layout and performance analysis, enhancing the collaboration within the manufacturing organization," said Chuck Grindstaff, executive vice president, UGS PLM Solutions Products.
"By bringing these important functions together with our technology, customers will be able to dramatically reduce the iterations that are a common part of providing an optimized factory layout.
In today's environment, where success means pressure for a large variety of on-time new product introductions, coordinating the factory design, internal organization and supply chain is a must."
