Integration between Teamcenter Express from Siemens PLM Software and Microsoft Dynamics AX®

For today’s discrete manufacturers, success depends on the ability to manage and synchronize massive volumes of technical information as part of day-to-day business. In particular, companies need a holistic approach to integrating information and improving collaboration across engineering and production domains.

Siemens and To-Increase can deliver the solution: A full integration between the To-Increase Industrial Equipment Manufacturing solution for Microsoft Dynamics AX and Teamcenter Express. Developed by To-Increase, this integration synchronizes engineering data (Parts, Bills of Material, Revisions) with production information (Inventory Items, Bills of Material, Routings)

Specific capabilities include the ability to update Microsoft Dynamics AX records with design release and change information. The integration also provides fast access to key ERP processes from the major CAD systems that are managed by Teamcenter Express.

The result? A unified, managed process that spans the entire product lifecycle, from quote, through engineering, to delivery of the physical product. Just as important, customers can realize tangible benefits from proven, industry-leading solutions designed to reduce costs, errors, and cycle times.
