Tecnomatix advantages
Leadership Tecnomatix is the leading digital manufacturing solution based on technology, market share, industry
experience and world-class customers served. Backed by Siemens’ leadership in delivery, with over five
million Teamcenter users worldwide, Tecnomatix digital manufacturing solutions are built on the most
widely deployed PLM solution in the marketplace.
Enterprise-scalable, The entire Siemens PLM Software portfolio is built on an open architecture, enabling Tecnomatix
open lifecycle solutions to integrate with any product data management (PDM) system. This flexibility translates into
foundation more cost-effective deployments and unparalleled flexibility for integration with other key enterprise systems.
Unparalled data and The data and process management solution for Tecnomatix provides visibility and accountability
process control between plant, process, resource and product configurations and collectively supports real-time
enforced consistency and reconciliation during change. This reduces confusion and complexity,
delineates responsibility and mitigates the risk of rising costs during new product introductions and
inevitable changes to the production environment.
Industry-specific value Tecnomatix solutions are geared to support and improve processes specific to a variety of industries,
frameworks including automotive, heavy equipment, aerospace, defense, hi-tech electronics, consumer products and
heavy machinery. Tecnomatix makes it easy for organizations to implement digital manufacturing
solutions leveraging their industry’s best practices. Within the Tecnomatix knowledge management
environment, organizations can readily configure data structures, workflows and business rules to
suit their needs.

Tecnomatix advantage Why it matters
World-class solution Other manufacturing planning solutions lack either the application coverage to improve your entire
portfolio manufacturing cycle or the knowledge management underpinnings to leverage upstream lifecycle
information. Tecnomatix is unique because it brings together a comprehensive suite of industry-
leading, workflow-based applications covering all of the domains influenced by your manufacturing
requirements.
Powerful, systems-level Optimization is achieved via a managed and shared environment that enables engineers to react
analysis rapidly to changes regardless of source. System device behavior and logic can be modeled to allow
full, line-level optimization where errors are reduced through dynamic interaction. This capability
addresses the need for highly automated and configurable systems to address the flexibility that is
required to optimize production throughput.
Collaborative factory Tecnomatix allows you to tie your factory tools together with simulation tools, which in turn facilitates
layout planning understanding of the true work flow and material flow for a specific factory layout configuration. This
approach enables you to interactively analyze multiple manufacturing processes and layout scenarios,
providing an intelligent basis for making informed decisions.
True concurrent Tecnomatix leverages Teamcenter’s single source of lifecycle knowledge, which creates a foundation
engineering you can use to rationalize and leverage engineering assets and optimize/synchronize manufacturing
environment deliverables to reduce complexity and accelerate your take-to-market innovations.
