DESIGN EXCELLENCE FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
Better together
Remove organizational barriers – create one source of truth for the organization and drive efficiencies.
In the face of emerging technical opportunities, growing competition and disruption and an ever-more stringent regulatory landscape, medical device manufacturers are under more pressure than ever to deliver effective innovation at speed. And to do so while maintaining control over their development timelines and reducing costs wherever possible.
It’s a tough ask.
Key to success when under such pressure is clear organizational alignment.
Effective collaboration between teams and processes can help save time, avoid mistakes, accelerate decision making and simplify communications both within the business and in the wider supply chain.
More and more manufacturers are realizing that technology can drive this kind of alignment. If all departments use the same underlying data, whether they’re designing new features, analyzing their performance or optimizing the manufacturing process, the focus shifts from manually exchanging documentation and detail to controlling the flow of data within a business.
The Siemens Digital Industries Software portfolio is built around a “digital twin” philosophy, where everyone works on a single virtual instance of the product.
A suite of collaborative design management software tools and a hub of stored information enable parallel design activities and easier auditability. It creates the simplest end-to-end design and certification process for medical device manufacturers.
Our colleagues in Siemens Healthcare – one of the world’s largest suppliers to the healthcare industry – have benefited from this kind of approach in a number of ways.
A single source of data has enabled them to improve bill-of-materials accuracy and traceability, facilitate requirements re-use and increase engineering productivity.
