Siemens Teamcenter for Capital Asset Lifecycle Management (CALM)

Challenges of Capital Asset Complexity

Capital assets, such as vehicles, manufacturing machinery and factories, form the productive base of most modern industrial organizations. Managing capital asset data across the asset lifecycle has traditionally been a complex and inefficient process. Although businesses allocate significant funding to acquire, develop and maintain capital assets, many lack the technological infrastructure and tools required to manage them cost-effectively. As a result, industrial enterprises face asset data residing across a multitude of disconnected systems, a lack of capital asset health and performance visibility and inefficient sharing of asset data across departments. These challenges can lead to costly downtime, maintenance delays, regulatory compliance issues and hindered decision-making.

With these challenges in mind, Engineering Industries eXcellence leverages Siemens Teamcenter for Capital Asset Lifecycle Management (CALM) to help industrial organizations consolidate and digitalize data management across the end-to-end lifecycle of their critical assets.

About Siemens Teamcenter for CALM

Siemens Teamcenter for Capital Asset Lifecycle Management (CALM) is an advanced software solution that consolidates business data to create closed-loop Digital Twins of physical assets and production processes, offering enterprise-wide access to stakeholders through a single source of digital truth. Based on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) methodologies, CALM optimizes the planning, design, construction and operation of capital assets.

One of the biggest challenges of capital asset management is that project data matures quickly, dynamically and concurrently across departments. Teamcenter for Capital Asset Lifecycle Management addresses this critical factor by providing stakeholders with a single point of access to up-to-date, federated data. CALM builds a foundation for real-time enterprise collaboration by integrating data authored in various Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring tools. As a result, stakeholders can make smarter, synergetic decisions, increase the business value of their data and improve enterprise productivity.

With a focus on the integration of physical, logical and technical asset data, Digital Twins created through CALM help companies realize significant operational efficiencies from day one of an initiative. Stakeholders can utilize CALM’s advanced data visualization, analytics and reporting tools to detect, review, manage and trace changes in real time. With new insights on capital asset performance and project execution, industrial organizations can improve oversight and risk management, drive more cost-effective and sustainable production, ensure safety and regulatory compliance, and effectively manage capital assets without complexity.
