PLANO, Texas, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens PLM Software, a

services, today announced that Burgmann Industries GmbH & Co.
KG, one of the world's leading seal manufacturers, will implement

Industries is using Teamcenter, the world's most widely used PLM
software portfolio, in combination with Solid Edge, a powerful
hybrid 2D/3D design system and a core component of the UGS Velocity
Series(TM) portfolio, in order to consistently manage the extensive
stock of available product data. With Siemens PLM Software's
solutions, Burgmann Industries is forging a link between the
engineering and commercial departments in order to retrieve
important product data via their ERP system. "To convert
development from 2D to 3D, we considered and tested solutions from
several providers," said Daniel Ketterer, project manager for
Global Technology Management at Burgmann Industries. "During the
testing phase, we were sold on the simple derivation option from 3D
to 2D constructions offered by Solid Edge. We develop our seals in
3D, but most customers want to see the constructions in 2D. With
the automatic 2D derivation, we are able to tighten our cycle times
and optimise delivery times and costs in order to carry out our
development processes more efficiently." "With Teamcenter as the
single source for all product and process knowledge, Burgmann
Industries can optimally manage all product data and use the data
across all departments," commented Paul Vogel, senior vice
president and managing director, Europe, Middle East and Africa,
Siemens PLM Software. "The time employees save can be invested in
new, innovative developments and an even higher level of quality."
