PLM in the Cloud

What exactly is PLM in the Cloud?

Cloud-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems offer the same robust features as traditional PLM solutions, such as BOM & CAD data handling, workflow, quality processes, and change management.

The primary distinction lies in the infrastructure: instead of being hosted on-premises, these systems leverage cloud technology. This shift brings new strategies for system management and offers benefits like enhanced scalability, data security, easier maintenance, and the ability to access information from anywhere.

Transform product development with PLM in the cloud by TT PSC

Modern PLM has evolved far beyond managing CAD files and documents. To stay competitive, your product portfolio and new product introduction processes must align with your strategic goals. However, many organizations still rely on outdated, disconnected systems that can't keep up with today's dynamic business challenges.

Enter Cloud PLM by TT PSC - a cutting-edge, cloud-based PLM solution built on a SaaS model. This means it's always up-to-date with the latest features and best practices.

The cloud PLM system provides a true digital thread that seamlessly connects design, planning, manufacturing, and service processes. When unified across ERP, SCM, manufacturing, and customer experience platforms, it enables faster, higher-quality innovationsļ and helps you stay resilient in a changing market.

Adopting Cloud PLM by TT PSC includes the following steps:

1

Consulting, discovery workshops, assessments and audits, strategy

2

On-premises to cloud migration or moving from one cloud to another

3

System configuration and customization

4

Implementation and training for your employees

5

Maintenance and Governance for PLM in the Cloud

Technological advancements have enabled new business models, allowing companies to adapt quickly. Modern cloud-based PLM software integrates real-time data from IoT, AI, and ML, creating a "digital thread" that connects all aspects of an enterprise, providing a comprehensive view of a product's lifecycle. The cloud supports this by offering scalable infrastructure for managing and analyzing data, accelerating innovation, and ensuring real-time integration and accessibility.

Digital twins, virtual replicas of physical assets, are most effective when integrated with systems sharing data through the digital thread. Cloud PLM provides the necessary infrastructure to host and manage these digital twins, ensuring accurate and up-to-date information for decision-making. With continuous data collection, digital twins deliver precise virtual simulations, high-quality products, and optimal performance.

Cloud-based PLM systems as solutions to business challenges

Check out, and maybe we have the solution to meet your expectations:

Overwhelmed by data

Managing vast amounts of data generated throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring data accuracy, and maintaining a single source of truth in today's world become challenging.

Solution

One source of truth

Product data gets lost when it doesn't have ONE centralized place. Cloud PLM systems provide a centralized platform that integrates various data sources, eliminating silos and improving data accessibility. Provides 'one source of truth'. BOMs, Parts, visualizations, Spreadsheets, PDFs, printouts, email attachments, and others - PLM in the Cloud centralizes all of your data across every level of the organization. TT PSC PLM in the Cloud lets customers select data points to share with anyone on the team and external suppliers with the click of a button., the Cloud centralizes all of your data across every level of the organization.
