The PLM system for better collaboration and faster processes during product engineering

CIM Database is an open and scalable system for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Its key benefits are better collaboration and faster processes in projects and across disciplines, systems and organizations. CIM Database's component architecture simplifies deployment and helps companies respond to new requirements with agility. Thanks to the underlying open platform CONTACT Elements, CIM Database PLM can be easily connected to IoT systems such as our digital twin platform Elements for IoT. This allows you to fully exploit the potential of innovative product development with an end-to-end Digital Thread along the entire lifecycle.

Use smart product models along the Digital Thread and connect PLM and IoT The engine for consistent PLM is the comprehensive model of the virtual product. This allows data and processes to be used digitally from the initial ideas through to release into production. Smart digital models simplify front-loading to make faster decisions and avoid late, costly changes. By enriching PLM data for downstream processes such as manufacturing and operations, you lay the foundation for an intelligent closed-loop process.  

Connect PLM and IoT with closed-loop process Connecting the virtual product model via the physical product and its digital twin opens up all the possibilities of innovative product development. Create a closed-loop process through PLM and IoT along the entire Digital Thread. This allows you to plan, develop and continuously improve current products and upcoming product generations based on usage data!
