Siemens PLM Software, a provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services and part of the Siemens Industry Automation Division has announced a fresh update to its iPad app, Teamcenter Mobility.

The Siemens PLM Software app for accessing Teamcenter from an iPad is now at version 2.0 and delivers enhancements that significantly enrich the end user’s ability to participate in the PLM process, according to the developers.

Teamcenter Mobility 2.0 provides the ability to capture and contribute knowledge, browse product structures and initiate workflow processes, as well as instantly access existing product knowledge managed using Teamcenter software as long as there’s Internet around.

Other cool new features include alerts for critical tasks and changes, the ability to import files into Teamcenter or submit objects to workflow, an option to mark up documents or images stored in Teamcenter (requires a 3rd party markup tool), and View product structures.

Version 2.0 also lets you change your active group or role, or create relationships between information and perform where-used/where-referenced queries, all taking advantage of a much more intuitive display of the content.

Finally, Siemens PLM Software also implemented the ability to open files from Teamcenter into other iPad apps, such as markup tools.

Commenting on the new release, Chuck Grindstaff, president and chief technology officer, Siemens PLM Software, said: “As the global manufacturing industry continues to grow and evolve, companies need to effectively empower their entire workforce in order to remain competitive.”

“The Teamcenter Mobility app puts the power of Teamcenter into the hands of mobile workers, with new capabilities in the latest release that will have a significant impact on how those individuals can interact with PLM data,” added Grindstaff.

“With Teamcenter Mobility 2.0, users aren’t just consumers of product information, but they also play an active role in creating that product information. They can capture data and knowledge, from anywhere, and more fully participate in their company’s product development process,” Grindstaff concluded.

In addition to the full Teamcenter Mobility app, there’s also a Free version up for grabs.
