The Demands of PLM for Manufacturers Today
July 4, 2012
As the global economy becomes more competitive, resources more sparse and stakeholders more demanding it is no wonder that PLM is having to step up their game to offer more. A recent PC Quest article, “Accelerating Innovations in Product Design”, explains how with emerging technologies, especially 3D, PLM providers are able to offer more to a manufacturing community needing more by the minute.
As the article explains,
“Today, product definition resides not just within an individual company, but also across an extended enterprise, including suppliers, partners and customers. PLM has traditionally existed within the walls of an organization. Now companies are integrating supply chain network with their PLM systems to get visibility into the entire gamut of processes involved. The core of PLM today is to integrate manufacturing applications with business apps.”
When one really boils down PLM solutions data management is the key to a successful integration of processes and elimination of waste and duplication. Inforbix, a leader in the PLM solutions industry describes its apps as “…integrated cloud solutions for manufacturing companies that tackle everyday tasks such as finding, reusing, and sharing product data without the overhead of traditional data management systems.”
