Canon, a global leader in the precision electronics industry, has selected Siemens PLM Software’s technology as its universal next-generation product development platform to be deployed throughout the Canon group, including overseas sites and affiliates.

Canon will utilise NX software, Siemens PLM Software’s digital product development software, and Teamcenter software, Siemens PLM Software’s collaborative product data management solution as its keystone PLM system.

“NX has already demonstrated its strength as a communication tool by further enhancing the exchange of data between each of the design divisions. We expect Teamcenter’s proven collaborative product data management capabilities to further enhance collaboration and innovation throughout the Canon group and its affiliates, allowing Canon to continue its tradition of providing customers innovative imaging technology to help make their creative visions a reality,” said Canon.

Introduced in April and featuring 400 enhancements, NX 5 powers innovation by integrating all aspects of the design-through-manufacturing process in a high-performance digital product development solution.

Teamcenter, which is built on an open PLM foundation to power end-to-end PLM, powers innovation and productivity by connecting people and processes with a single source of product and process knowledge.

Siemens PLM Software’s NX and Teamcenter will enable Canon to enhance innovation and collaboration, speed up the development cycle, improve its competitive strength and solidify its position as a leader in the precision electronics industry by bringing even more best-in-class products to market faster, said Tony Affuso, chairman and CEO of Siemens PLM Software.
