The Digital Twin is enabled by Teamcenter bill of material, or BOM, management Our
multi-discipline bill of material brings together all the product definition data so any user
can view any product and any configuration at any time.

Teamcenter’s approach to BOM management delivers consistent trade-off and


optimization across domains, with applications to help every smart product stakeholder
search, view, and interact with the whole product definition.
Digital Twin enabled by Teamcenter Visualization

Restricted | © Siemens 2021 | Siemens Digital Industries Software | Where today meets tomorrow..

The whole Teamcenter portfolio of applications contributes to the most comprehensive


Digital Twin, but our investment in visualization is especially important.

The ISO-certified, industry standard JT visualization format fuels the JT pipeline, which
enables the multi-CAD digital thread from design to manufacturing for OEMs and
suppliers, supporting visual collaboration.

Teamcenter applies the latest visualization technology like Virtual Reality and Augmented
Reality to our solutions for product development, manufacturing, and service.

For the purposes of this training course, we’re not going to go deep into the technology
used in our Teamcenter product development, but what’s important for you to understand
is that we have an R&D investment in best-in-class partners like AWS and Azure, and
industry-leading technologies, including Mendix and containerization with Kubernetes and
Docker, and partnerships to deliver modern PLM.

A modern architecture gives our customers the flexibility to deploy in any configuration –
cloud, on-premises, hybrid. We’ve developed a microservices framework that works for
both cloud and on-premise, which is a PLM industry game-changer, because it allows us
to invest once and use everywhere. Unlike our competitors who have a mix of different
products and technologies to fill out the delivery spectrum, all Teamcenter PLM products
are the same Teamcenter code base, and one modern PLM platform – it’s the same
Teamcenter, whether it’s delivered on the cloud, on-premises, or SaaS.
