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 However, many organizations still rely on outdated, disconnected systems that can't keep up with today's dynamic business challenges.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

_Digital thread, digital twin, and cloud product lifecycle management

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:

Select
Overwhelmed by data
Ineffective collaboration
Data security concerns
Too high costs
Meeting demand agility
Downtimes
  • 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.

  • Ineffective collaboration

    Facilitating effective collaboration among multidisciplinary and global teams (engineering, design, manufacturing, etc.), especially when there is more than one RnD department in different locations, is no piece of cake.

    Solution

    Real-time data access

    Cloud-based platforms offer instant data access from any location, improving teamwork among internal teams spread across different regions.

  • Data security concerns

    Protecting sensitive product data and ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations seems complicated.

    Solution

    Top-class security in the cloud

    Cloud service providers typically implement strong security protocols, such as data encryption, frequent backups, and adherence to industry regulations. This ensures that PLM in the Cloud protects sensitive product data.

  • Too high costs

    One of the main challenges is balancing the costs associated with implementing and maintaining a PLM system while ensuring it delivers value to the organization.

    Solution

    Flexible cloud pricing models

    Cloud supports controlling areas worth investing in and developing, identifying areas that generate unnecessary costs, turning servers on and off, depending on demand to pay only for what is used, and choosing from many models to increase the company’s business value. Reduce your TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) even up to 50-60%; Cost optimization affects the financial and operational aspects of the company. It helps increase visibility and identify idle resources. In addition, it can help improve company profits when cloud spending is monitored and organized.

  • Meeting demand agility

    Difficulty in scaling systems to meet evolving business needs.

    Solution

    Scalability at your service

    Cloud solutions can easily scale to meet the growing needs of the business. They provide the flexibility to adapt to changing market demands without the need for significant upfront investments in IT infrastructure.

  • Downtimes

    Issues with ensuring consistent system performance and minimizing downtimes.

    Solution

    High availability

    Cloud infrastructure ensures high availability and reliability, minimizing downtime and performance issues. The cloud plays a crucial role in ensuring business continuity for companies that rely heavily on transactions and data, as they cannot afford any downtime. Cloud services protect continuous availability and offer fast, reliable continuity support. Cloud increases availability because storage is decentralized; if one center fails, another should be available. The cloud provides a secure, seamless alternative when you cannot access your main offices. Home offices, satellite offices, or recovery sites can usually continue working.
