Secure Intellectual Property and Accelerate R&D: Building an Intelligent PLM Ecosystem with Teamcenter
As OEM compliance specifications grow stricter and automotive launch cycles continue to shrink, fragmented product data scattered across local drives creates severe security risks and delays collaborative design. The customer success story “Huayu Sanden Automotive Air Conditioning: Developing a centralized data management system” details how a leading climate control manufacturer modernized its R&D infrastructure using Siemens’ Teamcenter. Centralizing multi-CAD environments, integrating cross-system workflows, and establishing a secure digital platform allowed the company to eliminate paper-based transfers, protect critical IP, and dramatically boost development efficiency.
What to Expect Inside the Asset:
- Centralized Data Protection: Strategies for moving away from unmanaged local drives to establish a secure, version-controlled environment that safeguards valuable intellectual property.
- Multi-CAD Collaborative Design: How integrating NX and CATIA within Teamcenter enables real-time, online design reviews and eliminates offline engineering silos.
- Seamless OEM Integration: Methods for establishing direct, error-free data exchange with automotive OEM partners who operate on the same unified PLM platform.
- Paperless Workflow Efficiency: Achieving a 60% reduction in paper drawings and printing costs by digitizing approvals, change management, and electronic signatures.
- Reusable Enterprise Knowledge: Building a structured patent database and standard component library to increase design reuse and accelerate early-stage R&D productivity.
