Teamcenter is a product lifecycle management system designed to help organizations integrate and standardize product development processes across functional silos.
Of course this is the one of the best solution available in the market at present. When you have Multiple system in a plant then you need a powerful tool for Computation which Ability does it smoothly.
I would recommend Teamcenter if you are constantly working with multiple teams and need one central space to gather all the information that is reunited in these teams, it makes everything so much easier and will help you enhance your abilities. If you need to visualize 2D or 3D lifecycles, Teamcenter is also for you.
Data Management: your Parts divided into Item Types.
Data Management: You can easily add pseudo folders to segregate data inside. You don't have to look for anything now.
Change Management: Use the built-in or customize it. Now, you have workflows and can decide who is responsible for every task. It's done automatically.
Project Management - built-in MS Project, can manage tasks and still have a Gantt chart from it.
CAD integration - a lot of time saved when single source of true.
For the new users, Teamcenter seems to be quite overwhelming and it is quite difficult for any newly joined person to learn it quickly. Teamcenter can work on proving a user friendly interface and detailed training modules.
Sometimes, Teamcenter has lagging issues which interrupts the productivity of entire team. It works too slow sometimes, but with the new release of Teamcenter, they are improving on this issue.
Teamcenter should also simplify the release workflow for releasing any part. Currently, it is too complex.
Because of our current customer needs, we will most likely maintain use of Siemens PLM products for some time. Aside from the initial software cost, we pay for yearly maintenance. Maintaining our yearly maintenance licensing with Siemens, we receive access to all of the latest software releases, as well as premier technical support
One of the best solutions in the market with a user-friendly system. This is very useful when the ABB system (Like we had 800xA) is there, new or existing; all the ABB systems can be integrated using this rather than going to a 3rd party vendor, which may have interface problems.
As previously mentioned, due to the intense amount of features and modules present in the software, the usability of the software suffers greatly. Many of the features are not used in our context, and many of the modules are not purchased, but the options are still present on the interface leading to a lot of clutter, much of which is never used. The interfaces suffer from a lack of design and tend to feel like a conglomerate of Windows 98 elements.
Good support in terms of quality and promptness. When we had problems with some of the commands not getting executed, their online support also provided a good solution to solve the problem. Even mission-critical task we were able to solve during this Pandemic time. The suggestion is to go for the online support 1st in the future, followed by a visit.
In the time that we have used Teamcenter we have received a good response from the support team, they have great customer service, we have solved the problems that have arisen very quickly, and they are attentive and answer us if we have any questions.
Easier to use. Connectivity to third-party products is much better with Teamcenter. Siemens products are connected to Teamcenter very easily. Product support is much better. CAD and CAM data are much better connected. Easy to use search in classification information of the products. All modules, like Classification, my Teamcenter, structure manager, etc., are very well connected.
I would rate the overall scalability of Teamcenter very highly. The modular architecture and the support for cloud deployment enable it to be easily scalable. Also, with the customizations that Teamcenter provides, we have also scaled our entire operations. The overall performance too has improved, which is what we wanted out of this product.
Definitely, it has a very positive impact so to speak. What we are trying to do through our program, we are utilizing the full capacity of Teamcenter to produce one structure in an effective way. So before we implement this activity, the user has to prepare 10 to 15 structures to reach to our best possible data that can be set across the systems. But now with the complete capability of Teamcenter, we are able to do all these things into one structure itself and then let the system do all the automation or the things that users do not have to concentrate on. All of the automations are done behind the systems and then it is improving not only the efficiency of the end user, but also making a standardized way in order to proceed and transfer the data holistically towards other systems like SAP.
