Dieffenbacher manufactures machines and plants for the production of wood-based panels, composites and metal components as well as for recycling wood. The company also offers its customers a digital platform for monitoring and analyzing their press systems and plants. Matthias Rebel, Director Technical IT Systems, explains the challenges that the company faces when it comes to modernizing its heterogeneous PLM landscape.
Dieffenbacher needs to replace its existing PLM system because the vendor will be discontinuing support in the foreseeable future. Instead of immediately starting to look for an alternative, the plant engineering company first analyzed the PLM capabilities it would actually need in the future with PROSTEP’s help. Thanks to PROSTEP’s capability-based consulting approach, the company can be sure of moving in the right direction.
A closing event held a few weeks ago at BMW’s Research and Innovation Center (FIZ) marked the successful conclusion of the publicly funded SET Level project. Key results from the perspective of PROSTEP, which was actively involved in the project, are the definition of an integrative simulation architecture and a reliable simulation process that can be documented in a traceable way with the help of our demonstrator TRACY.
With OpenPDM 9.5, PROSTEP has launched a new major release of its world-leading platform for PLM migration, integration and collaboration. In addition to improved performance when importing and exporting PLM structures and documents, it offers even better options for connecting cloud-based PLM and ALM solutions, such as PTC Arena and Jira, with each other.
PROSTEP now offers its customers a more direct access to even more efficient support. Users who have questions about how to use certain functions, who want to submit suggestions for improvements, or who would like to report a bug can now create their own tickets in the PROSTEP Support Portal, add comments, upload attachments or seamlessly trace the status of their requests.
Shipbuilding and plant engineering are industries well served by PROSTEP’s comprehensive portfolio of consulting services and digitalization solutions. In recent months, we have shown our colours at ICCAS, ACHEMA, and the DACH U(n)ser Meeting powered by Schuller & Company to strengthen our relationships with existing customers and attracting new customers.
Just in time for Christmas, PROSTEP is making the new version 9.4 of the OpenDXM GlobalX data exchange platform available to its maintenance customers for download via the customer portal. The major release not only makes work easier for system administrators, but also expands PDM integrations. It also optimizes data handling in distributed environments with the help of alternative FileVaults.
As one of the leading specialists in the fields of digital forensics and eDiscovery, Swiss FTS places particularly high demands on the protection of confidential customer data that the company receives for digital forensics investigations. To make data exchange with customers as secure as possible, the renowned Swiss company uses PROSTEP’s proven OpenDXM GlobalX data exchange platform. The solution has already proven its worth in more than 20 projects.
