Challenges & Objectives
For several years, SEPRO has been committed to improving the digitalisation of its business and has been reviewing the tools it uses in order to establish a truly intelligent and efficient digital workflow.
As a Solid Edge CAD user for over 10 years, the design department needed to implement a comprehensive and scalable PLM solution to meet the new market challenges facing the SEPRO Group.
The TEAMCENTER PLM solution from Siemens Digital Industries Software was chosen as the backbone for the design functions, making information content accessible to other departments within the company.
Business Requirements
- To have a digital repository that structures the Design Office’s approach by leveraging business expertise
- Automate numerous non-value-adding tasks (drawings, technical documentation, design and assembly bills of materials)
- Configure products for pre-installation using Rule Designer Configurator
- Minimise data re-entry with the ERP system through a link between the PLM and ERP
Strategic requirements
- Place the 3D digital model at the heart of the company’s digital workflow
- Break down silos between departments by providing access to the right information at the right time
- Share and secure information with international clients using a globally leading PLM solution
- Have a 3D model available for training clients and staff
