Joint Solution for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Provides Significant Cost Savings to OEMs and Operators
BURLINGTON, MA-- Enigma Inc., the leader in aftermarket service and support technology, today announced that the company has signed a partnership agreement with Siemens PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation and Drives and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services. The two companies have integrated Enigma's InService solutions with the Teamcenter® for MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) software offering. The combined solutions are being brought to market with a focus on aerospace and defense (A&D) contractors, military branches and equipment maintainers. Siemens PLM Software and Enigma solutions help workers in the field and the depot by simplifying scheduled and unscheduled service events, improving spare parts identification and optimizing the maintenance and engineering workflow.
"Enigma's partnership with Siemens PLM Software strengthens our presence in
the aerospace and defense industries, where there is a huge demand for this
combination of content and asset management for maintenance," said Jonathon
Yaron, CEO of Enigma. "The joint solutions make existing product and
engineering data readily accessible for maintenance and material
improvement programs."
According to a statement supplied by Siemens PLM Software, "By integrating
service, inventory planning, diagnostics, fault isolation and fleet and
configuration management, Siemens PLM Software and Enigma deliver
unprecedented automation for critical aftermarket support. With an
automated process for documenting maintenance activities that can be shared
directly with the maintenance and engineering department, these solutions
provide unique insights into the operational environment, thus driving
product improvements and maintenance best practices. By increasing the
speed and quality of maintenance, the joint solutions help manufacturers
and operators reduce operations and logistics costs and increase equipment
uptime."
The management of technical publications in A&D is challenging due to
multiple content sources, diverse equipment configurations, frequent
revisions/changes and complex approval processes. Siemens PLM Software and
Enigma solutions simplify these maintenance challenges by providing fast
access to information that is spread across multiple information systems,
enabling engineers to quickly update and distribute technical publications,
and technicians to swiftly perform maintenance and repairs.
The integrated solution combines Enigma's InService MRO, EPC (Electronic
Parts Catalog) and JCG (Job Card Generator) with Siemens PLM Software's
Teamcenter for MRO to provide a maintenance environment that manages asset
configuration, maintenance documentation, maintenance planning and
execution and illustrated parts catalogs. The resulting solution helps
technicians in the field and the hangar by delivering all of the latest
service manuals, spare parts and troubleshooting guides, customized for
each specific piece of equipment. In addition, the solution can be easily
integrated with enterprise resource planning, generating customized task
cards and offering technicians critical visibility into the entire
maintenance workflow.
Teamcenter for MRO Solutions
Teamcenter for MRO enables service organizations to operate in a
heterogeneous, globally dispersed PLM environment that improves multiple
maintenance, repair and overhaul processes. Unlike traditional offerings
for MRO, which focus primarily on enterprise resource planning (ERP)
transactional data, Configuration-driven MRO puts the in-service product or
asset at the center of MRO functions -- bridging the gap between the
logistics, maintenance and engineering communities, providing service teams
with insight to what a product's configuration is, what it should be and
what maintenance operations, resources and materials are necessary to
maintain its effective operation.
