PLANO, TX, Sep 16, 2025 – Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced the expansion of its Teamcenter platform for product lifecycle management with AI-powered lifecycle assessment (LCA) tools developed with Makersite. Siemens is extending intelligence across the product lifecycle by using a digital twin and a data backbone to deliver insights at each stage of design, engineering, manufacturing, and service. Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment helps designers, engineers, and manufacturers use AI and supply chain data to develop sustainable, compliant, and innovative products.
“Driving the development of products with sustainability at the core while maintaining speed, cost efficiency and regulatory compliance requires radically expanded lifecycle intelligence to be available across the entire manufacturing organization,” said Frances Evans, senior vice president, lifecycle collaboration software, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “As industrial companies face challenging global compliance requirements and the need to reduce environmental impact, we are enabling our customers to leverage AI to design for sustainability, enable circularity, and optimize material choices from the start. With the full suite of lifecycle assessment capabilities from cradle to end of life in Teamcenter, our customers can transform product innovation with real-time environmental data.”
Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment uses industrial data from Siemens’ digital twin to produce actionable insights. With AI-driven, predictive LCA data and analysis built into Teamcenter, companies gain a practical layer of lifecycle intelligence to support design and manufacturing decisions. Companies reduce data silos, improves collaboration among design, engineering, and sustainability teams, and speeds up decision-making. The outcome is products that meet compliance, prioritize safety, control costs, and reduce environmental impact.
The Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment solution empowers engineering and manufacturing teams to assess a product’s environmental compliance, supply chain risk and cost early and throughout the product’s lifecycle – integrated into mechanical product engineering, electronic/electrical design and simulation applications.
Product teams can access ISO-compliant LCA reports with visibility into indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2 and Scope 3) early in development. This supports sustainability, compliance, and profitability. Users can run multi-criteria simulations embedded in the bill of materials in Teamcenter to weigh cost, performance, and sustainability. These insights help teams adopt eco-design strategies like modularity, recyclability and reuse.
“The collaboration between Makersite and Siemens brings product lifecycle intelligence directly into core development workflows,” said Neil D’Souza, CEO and Founder, Makersite. “By integrating with Siemens’ Teamcenter, we deliver precise, detailed insights on cost, compliance, risk, and environmental performance – right within an engineer’s everyday tools, from early product design to manufacturing bills of materials. This integration helps accelerate the creation of affordable, safe, and sustainable products, enhances product master data, and makes it easier for companies to stay ahead of growing compliance requirements.”
