Transform Industrial Machinery Business with Siemens Service Lifecycle Management
Today, CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, published a new eBook focused on the application of service lifecycle management (SLM) in the industrial machinery industry and how Siemens Digital Industries Software (Siemens) SLM solutions enable companies in that industry to move to a servitization business model. This eBook describes how a robust SLM solution can enable companies in the industrial machinery industry to aggregate, contextualize, simulate, and analyze operational data captured from managed assets into actionable insight that can drive service planning, improve design for serviceability, and optimize heavy equipment in-service use and operations.
Built on Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, Siemens’ SLM solution is a comprehensive, integrated suite of software and services augmented by strategic relationships with third-party service application providers. The core of the SLM solution is Teamcenter SLM, which provides a comprehensive enterprise digital thread backbone that manages a complete digital thread of service-related information and enables a comprehensive performance digital twin. A key strength of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio is its ability to support complex multi-domain products and systems. Within the portfolio are applications and solutions that address all aspects of an asset or product, including mechanical, electrical/electronic, software, and technical documentation. These domains are integrated so that data created in one domain can instantly be made available to the others. All the data is linked and managed by Teamcenter. This core capability is critical to enabling the efficient and cost-effective service of today’s complex, connected physical assets.
According to Ken Amann, CIMdata Executive Consultant, “Siemens pragmatic approach to delivering open SLM solutions provides the breadth and depth that enterprises need to create comprehensive, actionable digital twins of industrial machinery and manage the complete service lifecycle across a heterogenous set of extended enterprise solutions. This enables companies to transform to servitization business models, turning service into a competitive, customer loyalty building advantage.”
