Trützschler optimizes product development with CIM Database Cloud

The leading textile machinery manufacturer will leverage CONTACT’s cloud-based PLM solution to establish a central source for product data and enhance collaboration in development.

As part of its OneTrützschler digitalization initiative, the textile machinery manufacturer Trützschler is implementing CIM Database Cloud from CONTACT Software. The global market leader is relying on “Innovate”, the most comprehensive edition of the SaaS (Software as a Service) solution. It offers flexible scalability, is always up to date, protects sensitive data, and reduces IT efforts.

With the new PLM system, Trützschler aims to eliminate data silos and establish a single source of truth for product-related information, providing the foundation for future digitalization projects. Third-party systems such as the mCAD system Solidworks and the ERP solutions PSI and Microsoft Dynamics AX will be integrated through open interfaces.

In addition to central document and product data management, CIM Database Cloud offers extensive features for variant and project management as well as the cross-site coordination of tasks and processes. The 3D cockpit enables developers to intuitively collaborate on 3D models, while the xBOM Manager simplifies the synchronization of bills of materials.

Founded in 1888, Trützschler Group SE from Mönchengladbach, Germany, has become one of the world’s leading manufacturers of machinery and equipment for processing natural and chemical fibers. The family-owned company operates in three business areas – Spinning, Nonwovens, and Card Clothing – and maintains nine development and production sites in Germany, China, India, the USA, and Brazil. Trützschler employs around 3,000 people globally.
