PLANO, TX, Apr 22, 2025 – Siemens Digital Industries Software has released updated versions of Teamcenter X software, aiming to make SaaS-based product lifecycle management (PLM) accessible for companies of all sizes. The new offerings include preconfigured tools for process management and cross-domain collaboration, integrating mechanical, electrical, and electronics development. The updates are designed to support manufacturers in streamlining product development and improving coordination across teams.
“This expansion of Teamcenter X continues Siemens’ mission of making SaaS PLM more accessible for companies of all sizes,” said Frances Evans, senior vice president, lifecycle collaboration software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “The new additions to Teamcenter X help even more customers get started quickly with PLM and then scale to solve more business challenges using more of the Teamcenter portfolio.”
Teamcenter X drives innovation at Workhorse
Workhorse Group Inc., a company driving the shift to zero-emission commercial vehicles has adopted Teamcenter X as its company standard to streamline activities across its development teams and supply chain as it builds electric trucks for sustainable last mile delivery.
“Standardizing on Teamcenter X has allowed us to integrate our design, engineering and supply chain functions efficiently. Previously, our multi-CAD environment was costly and required extra resources. With Siemens, we’ve eliminated these inefficiencies and can focus on building complex electric trucks more effectively,” said Jeff Mowry, chief information officer, Workhorse Group. “Using Siemens’ tools, we are able to effectively manage our intricate bill of materials and engineering change notices, which is key given the dynamic nature of electric vehicle production. This strategic move has not only lowered our operational costs but also strengthened our ability to protect intellectual property and ensure cybersecurity.”
Mowry will also take the stage at Siemens’ Realize LIVE Americas in Detroit, June 2 to 5, to show how Workhorse implemented Teamcenter X and NX X in six months to reduce IT overhead, improve collaboration, and streamline activities.
