TeamViewer and Siemens to Innovate in
the Product Lifecycle Management Space
with Augmented Reality Solutions
TAMPA BAY, Fla. — TeamViewer, a leading global provider of
remote connectivity and workplace digitalization solutions,
has announced a new strategic partnership with Siemens
Digital Industries Software to bring the power of TeamViewer’s
enterprise AR platform Frontline to Siemens’ Teamcenter®
software, a leading Product Lifecycle Management
(PLM) solution from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. This
collaboration allows Siemens’ global customers to improve
their product development process based on immersive experiences
with interactive, 3D content connected to the digital
twin of a product. The 3D models of products can be easily
modified, enabling more teams across the product lifecycle
to collaborate, thus driving more informed product decisions
and innovation.
“We are very excited to collaborate with Siemens in the PLM
space and to help their customers to increase their productivity,
efficiency and process qualit ,” Oliver Steil, CEO of
TeamViewer, said. “This strategic partnership underlines
once more our leading position in cutting-edge technologies
such as AR and MR, and our relevance in the global tech
ecosystem, which is a major driver for our growing enterprise
business.”
TeamViewer has partnered with Siemens to bring the power of its Fronline
AR platform to Siemens’ Teamcenter softwear.
“Providing our customers with rich, immersive experiences
is key to broadening the adoption of the executable digital
twin,” added Tony Hemmelgarn, CEO and President, Siemens
Digital Industries Software. “Our collaboration with Team-
Viewer brings another way for our community of designers,
engineers and managers to engage with their product data
using the latest interactive Mixed Reality technology.”
The spatial module within TeamViewer’s enterprise AR
platform Frontline enables employees wearing mixed reality
smart glasses, such as the Microsoft HoloLens, to execute
tasks in a more intuitive, interactive way by providing them
with digital information, three-dimensional elements, and
multimedia content in an augmented or mixed reality environment.
Virtual information or holograms are placed on top
of objects in the real world to enrich each employee’s reality
for visual process guidance. Thanks to the built-in no-code
editor, process owners can easily manage and update the
underlying workflows without including their IT department
— for example, create digital twins from CAD model data.
With the added TeamViewer Frontline Spatial module in
Siemens’ Teamcenter, organizations can leverage their existing
investment in CAD and PLM for increased productivity,
efficienc , and quality throughout the product development
process and in aftermarket service and maintenance.
