Improve manufacturing access to released product information

The manufacturing of products relies on numerous activities supported by disconnected processes and applications that produce a steady flow of product-related content. But most of this information is housed in siloed applications, making content difficult for stakeholders to access.

Product lifecycle management (PLM) applications can help manufacturers develop new products and bring them to market faster by making it easier to track and share data along the product value chain. From product design to post-design, PLM applications can enable stakeholders across the organization to access and view product-related content.

PLM applications maintain critical content that supports functions such as product design, product simulations, manufacturing simulations, production tooling and field maintenance. But limited content access can lead to a reduction in collaboration, error-prone information requests and slow and disconnected change processes between product development and the rest of the business. This undermines the continuous improvement loop of product innovation. Organizations need a way to break down these barriers and unify data access…
