Global Consumer Electronics Brand
Challenge:
A leading technology manufacturer faced persistent challenges due to siloed product data across their global design teams. With engineering data scattered between ECAD and MCAD systems, collaboration was limited and error-prone. Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) were slow to process, introducing delays and inconsistencies that put product timelines and quality at risk.
Solution:
XPERIX partnered with the client to drive a digital transformation of their product development process. Leveraging our deep expertise in PLM implementation and cross-domain integration, we introduced Siemens Teamcenter as a unified platform for product data management. Key components of the solution included:
- Seamless integration of ECAD and MCAD environments into Teamcenter
- Automation of ECR/ECO workflows, reducing manual steps and human error
- Centralized BOM (Bill of Materials) management, enabling a single source of truth across teams
This co-created solution was tailored to the client’s unique global structure, enabling cross-functional teams to collaborate in real time.
Outcome:
The transformation delivered immediate and measurable results. ECO cycle times were reduced by 40%, eliminating key bottlenecks in the engineering change process. Teams across international design centers gained real-time visibility into product data, enabling faster, more informed decision-making. The unified digital thread not only improved collaboration, but also laid the foundation for ongoing innovation and scalability.
