Industry Trends and Drivers:
- Increased Product Complexity:
Today's products mix hardware, software, and digital features, which makes them more complex. This complexity drives companies to use Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software. PLM systems connect teams from different fields and locations. They ensure that components are designed, developed, tested, and integrated correctly. Additionally, PLM software ensures compliance with information standards, reduces data entry errors, and simplifies updates. It achieves this through the Product Information Hub.
- Need for Collaboration and Integration:
PLM software serves as a real-time collaboration tool. It shares information throughout a product's life, from Design to Development, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain. The software connects team members for better communication and data sharing. By bridging organizational gaps, it reduces miscommunication and improves project synchronization. Additionally, it enhances collaboration and integration, speeding up product development. Quality is ensured, and the team stays aligned with their goals.
- Regulatory Compliance:
Today, many industries face strict limits on making and sharing products. PLM software helps companies comply with these rules. It offers tools for sharing documents, tracking changes, and maintaining records. These tools ensure safety, quality, and environmental standards are met. In healthcare, it handles rules for medical devices. The software documents all changes, allowing for easy reversal if needed. It also reduces the risk of non-compliance, making it easier to adhere to regulations. This protection helps avoid costly fines, product recalls, and damage to reputation.
