Case Study: Groupe SEB drives enterprise-wide innovation with Solid Edge and Teamcenter

Groupe SEB boosts new product introductions by 43% with Solid Edge

Groupe SEB, a leading global manufacturer of small domestic appliances, faced the challenge of unifying its numerous acquired brands and their disparate development processes. To support its innovation strategy and enable global collaboration, the company needed an open PLM system that could support multiple CAD and ERP tools. The vendor, Solid Edge's parent company Siemens Digital Industries Software, provided its Teamcenter software as the solution.

The implemented solution used Teamcenter as a central PLM database to manage CAD files from Siemens' NX and Solid Edge, as well as other systems, and connected it to the company's SAP ERP. This enabled secure, worldwide collaboration across departments. The results were highly successful, facilitating a 43 percent increase in new product introductions annually and allowing over 1,000 users to collaborate on highly reliable project data.
