The PLM solutions portfolio of Siemens PLM Software now supports the standard eCl@ss for product’s classification, to streamline data exchange with no loss of informations in the design and engineering processes. A further achievement toward the digital twin, eCl@ss ensures a standard taxonomy for the univocal description and classification of the product, employing the only ISO/IEC compliant industry standard.
Supporting a standard classification system allows Teamcenter users to standardize design, procurement, storage, production and distribution activities in and between companies, across sectors, countries and languages overcoming complexity in the supply chain management. The standardized data exchange also helps improving the quality of data, simplifying the procurement process and reducing customer costs through economical and efficient integration of PLM product data into customer supplier relationship management (SRM) and CRM systems.
Teamcenter will continue to support the traditional and new eCl@ss classifications systems, helping at the same time to seamlessly migrate data to the new system as customers are ready.
