Teamcenter X is ideal for small and medium-sized companies that want to use PLM functionality flexibly and scalably in the cloud.

DataSolid distributes and implements Siemens NX, Solid Edge, Teamcenter and Teamcenter X - including consulting and support.

Thanks to the close partnership with Siemens, customers receive expert advice, individual adaptations and reliable technical support.

NX is a comprehensive CAD, CAM and CAE platform that combines design, simulation and manufacturing in one environment.

Solid Edge is CAD software for 3D design, simulation and product data management, ideal for medium-sized companies.

Teamcenter is a PLM solution that centrally manages product data, documents and processes and thus improves collaboration within the company.

DataSolid offers implementation, support and training - for a successful and sustainable use of Solid Edge.

Solid Edge is available as a purchase, rental or cloud solution and can be flexibly adapted to company size and IT structure.

Teamcenter can be adapted to the specific requirements of a company through individual workflows, interfaces and modules.

The implementation time depends on the system landscape. DataSolid ensures a structured introduction including migration and training.

NX enables end-to-end product development and process integration, which saves time and reduces errors.

CAD migration is the transfer of existing CAD data to a new software environment. DataSolid ensures that no information is lost in the process.

SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA, NX and CADdy++ are supported and can be transferred to modern systems.

DataSolid uses automated tools and validation mechanisms to check all transferred structures and metadata.

A PLM migration includes the transfer of product data, workflows and access rights to a new PLM system.

DataSolid takes over the planning, validation and implementation of PLM migrations - including checking for completeness and consistency.

A migration with DataSolid guarantees data integrity, reduced downtimes and sustainable modernization of the system landscape.

Electrical (EPLAN) and mechanical (MCAD) design data are linked to ensure consistent product data and processes.

It reduces duplicate data entry, minimizes errors and speeds up collaboration between electrical and mechanical teams.

DataSolid analyzes existing systems, sets up interfaces and trains users for efficient collaboration between ECAD and MCAD.

NX automation refers to the adaptation and automation of recurring tasks in Siemens NX using macros and scripts.

It shortens development times, reduces errors and standardizes processes for greater efficiency.

DataSolid develops individual automations based on company processes and ensures optimal integration into existing workflows.

Through structured analysis, test migration and validation, DataSolid ensures a secure and loss-free transition of data.

The duration depends on the amount of data and complexity. After a preliminary analysis, the schedule is determined together with the customer.

Companies benefit from secure data transmission, modernized systems and optimized processes.

Topics include CADdy++, Siemens NX, Solid Edge, Teamcenter, data migration and process optimization.
