This article mainly introduces "how to select PLM software". In daily operation, I believe many people have doubts about how to select PLM software. The editor consulted all kinds of materials and sorted out simple and easy-to-use operation methods. I hope it will be helpful for you to answer the doubts about "how to select PLM software". Next, please follow the editor to study!

The correct selection of PLM software is the basic condition to ensure the success of the whole PLM project. In the selection of PLM software, we should pay attention to three aspects: first, whether the function of PLM software is powerful enough to meet the business needs of enterprises; second, whether the technical architecture of PLM software is mature, whether it is stable, and whether it can withstand the high-intensity test of a large amount of business data, so as to ensure that the PLM system will not often make unexpected errors in the course of operation, or "take a break" from time to time. Third, whether the PLM software has enough expansibility, whether it can meet the needs of enterprise business growth, or whether to provide an open secondary development platform to meet the individual needs of enterprises.

At present, the PLM software market can be divided into two camps: foreign PLM software and domestic PLM software. Foreign PLM software mainly includes WINDCHILL of American PTC company and TC of UG company (which has been acquired by Siemens), while domestic PLM software mainly includes Beijing Exeter, Wuhan Tianyu and so on. In terms of software functions, foreign software started early and its function has been very perfect; domestic software has also made great progress in recent years, keeping an eye on the development of foreign PLM software. For some of the forefront PLM software, it has initially possessed most of the functions of foreign PLM software. However, the accumulation of pillars is a long-term process, if we take a closer look at the details of various functions, we will find that there is still a lot of gap between them, and it is difficult to eliminate in the short term. In addition, some ERP manufacturers have also begun to enter the PLM field in recent years, such as foreign SAP and ORACLE, domestic gold discs and users, and so on. However, because there is a large gap in business requirements and management ideas between ERP system and PLM system, this kind of manufacturers are difficult to integrate into the mainstream market in the short term, in addition to advocating the advantages of integration with their own ERP systems. The best proof is that many of its users switched back to the products of other mainstream PLM manufacturers after a short attempt.

In terms of software stability, there is still a big gap between domestic PLM software and foreign products, which is determined by the objective law of the software industry. Foreign PLM software started early, the technology is rich, and its system has been verified by a large number of users in various industries around the world, the technology has been very mature. On the other hand, domestic PLM software is mainly based on imitation, lack of accumulation of core technology, similar in shape and detached from spirit. There are many BUG in software design, and there are often all kinds of data errors, or "stop eating" every now and then. Especially when the amount of data of users is large, due to the general lack of support for big data in domestic PLM software, the system is slow, or even crashed because of overload.

In terms of interface openness, foreign PLM software has been very mature because of modular partition, usually only through module combination, and then simple configuration can meet most of the business needs of users, the workload of secondary development is relatively less. The secondary development work is often based on the standard secondary development interface. compared with the development directly on the underlying code, the flexibility is still insufficient, but the stability is good. Domestic PLM software usually has only a general framework, and many practical requirements for users need to be met through secondary development. Because the domestic PLM software is usually implemented directly by the original factory, it can get the underlying code directly, so it has a certain advantage in the flexibility of secondary development. But at the same time, because of the lack of code standardization, there are obvious deficiencies in the stability of the software and the maintenance in the later stage.

At this point, the study on "how to select PLM software" is over. I hope to be able to solve your doubts. The collocation of theory and practice can better help you learn, go and try it!
