Product Lifecycle Management is a must for anyone in the manufacturing industry. For every part you design there are over 100 pieces of
information generated from it. From assemblies, drawings, datasheets through to the manufacturing, scheduling and accounting information.
The Matrix software, developed by MatrixOne, Inc. is a leading Internet business (eBusiness) collaboration solution for information and
knowledge management. With Matrix software, an enterprise can streamline the communications among its geographically dispersed
customers, business partners, and internal divisions. Operating as an Internet platform, the Matrix10 solution integrates disparate business
processes and facilitates the exchange of all types of information and ideas (e.g. Product Lifecycle Management, conceptual planning, new
product design, manufacturability, plant resource utilisation, product introductions, Supply Chain Management).
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is an integrated, information driven approach to all aspects of a product's life from design inception,
through it's manufacture, deployment and maintenance - PLM is evolving, to become more collaborative, adaptive, flexible and responsive. In
partnership with world-renowned technology providers, system integrators, and business process consultants, MatrixOne supports an
impressive list of global clients in a variety of markets, including the automotive, manufacturing, high technology, communications, and
aerospace/defence industries.
The Matrix10 Environment includes several very distinct, yet powerful components that work together to enable organisations to leverage the
power of their value chains:
Collaboration Applications,
Lifecycle Applications,
Integration Products and a
PLM Modelling Studio.
To help companies ensure compliance to FDA regulations throughout the entire design and manufacturing process, MatrixOne has introduced
the Accelerator for FDA Compliance.
Collaboration Applications
Matrix10's Collaborative Applications represent a collaborative foundation for the enterprise and its network of global value chain partners,
regardless of their role in the organisation. These applications allow geographically dispersed project teams to stay connected through access
to real-time data and business processes, ensuring the highest levels of quality and innovation are met.
The Matrix10 collaborative applications consist of MatrixOne Team Central™, MatrixOne Document Central™ and MatrixOne Program
Central™.
Team Central delivers the right information to the right people at the right time, and reduces the time and cost spent searching for
information that is normally resident on user's desktops by enabling teams to work in shared workspaces over the Internet.
Document Central facilitates the management and sharing of documents across global teams in support of collaborative product
lifecycle management.
Program Central enables companies to create, share and manage project information globally, ensuring consistent approaches and
informed collaborative decisions. MatrixOne Program Central reduces product development time-to-market and costs by
synchronizing project team tasks and schedules throughout the value chain.
Lifecycle Applications
Matrix10's Lifecycle Applications represent a broad set of fully interoperable PLM applications for the specialized roles involved in product
planning, product development, product sourcing and manufacturing enablement that can be quickly and easily deployed into a wide range of
industries.
The MatrixOne lifecycle applications comprise of Sourcing Central™, Product Central™, Specification Central™, Supplier Central™ and
Engineering Central™.
Sourcing Central gives users the ability to streamline sourcing activities - improving supplier relationships, reduce cost of goods
sold (COGS) and tap into supplier innovation throughout the product lifecycle.
Product Central is a new solution that allows users to easily and precisely define products, features and configuration options based
on specific customer and market requirements.
Specification Central, developed as a result of the best practices and industry expertise provided by Procter & Gamble, enables
companies to standardize the specification creation processes associated with products, packaging, raw materials and components.
Supplier Central collaborates with suppliers through an information-rich, cost-effective, and partner-centric web-based interface.
Bring value chain members into the development and purchasing processes early, for the greatest benefit.
Engineering Central enhances your business initiatives by providing ready-to-use product information management capabilities,
combined with a rich set of engineering best practices.
Integration Products
Exploiting the full power of the Matrix 10 applications requires integrating it with existing software systems - these can be desktop personal
productivity tools like mechanical CAD or enterprise systems like ERP. They can be commercial or proprietary; old or new. MatrixOne provides
a variety of integration products to meet your specific business need.
Packaged Integrations
Matrix10 represents the industries most open and adaptable PLM backbone with dozens of off-the-shelf integrations and technologies to
enable seamless data sharing between third-party enterprise applications and desktop authoring tools including leading MCAD, ECAD and
software development applications.
Integration Technologies
Innovative Adaplet™ technology offers a degree of integration that actually makes the data in other systems appear - to end users and
applications alike - as if it is located inside the Matrix10 application.
