- 650+Customer projects
- >15Years of customer relationships
Starting point
Where do you stand today?
Digitalization, AI and new compliance requirements are changing product development. At the same time, pressure on time, costs and innovation is rising, as are product variety and the demands on data quality and integration. Wherever you stand today: we find the right solution for your PLM.
Services in detail →Implementing PLM
Product data is scattered across spreadsheets, network drives and CAD data management, processes run separately and the systems are barely connected. We develop a suitable target structure, adapt PLM to your processes, connect your systems and roll it out step by step.
Replacing PLM
Your platform is being discontinued or no longer meets your requirements. We transfer processes, custom configurations and extensions to the target platform, reconnect your systems and migrate cleansed metadata, documents and CAD data.
Evolving PLM
With every new product, market and requirement, your company evolves. With tailored customization, we evolve your PLM at the same pace and create scalable solutions that fit your processes and your industry.
Services
PLM across the entire lifecycle
Our services cover every phase, from initial concept to ongoing operation. This way, the knowledge gained during implementation and migration carries over into day-to-day operation.
- 01
Consulting and solution design
Starting point, requirements, processes, data structures, target architecture and proof of concept.
- 02
Migration and implementation
Analysis of data and processes, mapping, cleansing, migration, verification, rollout, training and stabilization.
- 03
Integration and customization
Connection of CAD, ERP and other systems, adaptation to your processes and custom developments.
- 04
Operations and ongoing development
Support, release upgrades and modernization of existing systems, including custom developments and interfaces.
Technology
We know the platforms down to the data model
Our work centers on the configurations, modules and extension mechanisms of established PLM systems. That is why, in migrations, we do not just transfer data but rebuild processes and custom functions on the target platform and connect CAD, ERP and other systems.
More on technology →What this depth makes possible
We create the data foundation for Digital Thread,
Digital Twin and AI
New applications build on the data and structures being created today. That is why we also design PLM landscapes for future requirements.
Structured data as a basis for AI
We cleanse and structure data models so that AI-based applications can also build on a clean data set.
Connected across system boundaries
Our integrations link product data unambiguously across all systems, as a basis for Digital Thread and Digital Twin.
Flexible for new requirements and releases
We develop custom solutions that scale with your requirements, across release upgrades as well.
Down to the extension layer
We adapt PLM systems specifically to your processes and needs. Where your requirements go far beyond the standard, we develop custom solutions.
From engineering process to system
We translate business requirements into data models, workflows, integrations and, where necessary, our own code. This keeps process understanding and technical implementation connected.
Responsible after go-live, too
We support the entire system over the long term, including custom developments and integrations, through every release upgrade, and keep developing it.
Industries
Industry expertise from project experience
Our customers develop and manufacture products, machines and plants. Their industries differ, but their PLM requirements are often similar.
Medical and laboratory technology
Compliance evidence, traceability, risk management.
Packaging and food technology
Format variety, material compliance, tooling and print data.
Machinery and plant engineering
Modular systems, order-specific BOMs, as-built status.
Automotive and commercial vehicles
Variants and modular strategies, supplier integration, revision levels.
Energy and building technology
Plant documentation, handover to operators, product data for building design.
Electrical engineering and electronics
ECAD/MCAD integration, component management, material compliance.
Defense and security
Configuration management, obsolescence, operation in air-gapped networks.
Other industries
We have also completed PLM projects outside these core areas.
