Kick-Off the Fall Season with Teamcenter’s Greater Powers for Environmental Compliance

Are you on the green team? Are you in control of environmental compliance, or are you scrambling?

Teamcenter gives your company the power to integrate compliance within your end-to-end PLM processes. You can take control of the risks and high costs associated with being non-compliant.

Whether you’re faced with numerous and confusing regulations governing the use of substances (such as lead and mercury) that are harmful to people and the environment or the disposal of hazardous products or components, environmental compliance is a requirement for manufacturers today. Non-compliance can carry high financial penalties ranging from direct costs (e.g. fines) to indirect costs such as loss of market share from a poor public image.

How does your company handle compliance? In a recent report titled “RoHS and WEEE: Still a Riddle for Many High-Tech Companies,” AMR Research found that most firms are unclear as to the data they need to collect and report, let alone the financial penalties due to non-compliance. Others spend an inordinate amount of time and money collecting data after the product is built only to discover they are not compliant. (Read the complete AMR Research report.)

Teamcenter is designed to capture compliance requirements early, incorporate these requirements into your development processes, and actively track accountability and content across the entire product lifecycle.

Teamcenter significantly reduces the time and errors associated with manual data entry by automatically communicating your most current material substance information. You can prepare for future directives (across all industries) by actively maintaining a record of all substances used in the product development process and voluntarily beginning to phase out potentially harmful substances before they are mandated.

With environmental compliance integrated within the world's most widely used solution for PLM, Teamcenter gives your company a strategic advantage. You can design products to achieve unique market requirements and promote your company’s public image of environmental stewardship.
