Business Opportunities
- Establish a centralized, validated, and fully synchronized Teamcenter instance across all customer locations.
- Enable transition from drawing-centric current state of work to new model-centric design state of work to improve digital continuity and accelerate engineering efficiency.
- Eliminate data chase by organizing information through A&D BOI relationships for better visibility and faster decision-making.
- Enhance data security and compliance by embedding IP and trade control attributes during migration.
Features
- Bulk load and delta migration approach executed using an extensible, reusable eQube® migration framework.
- Standard eQube® connectors used to extract data from Teamcenter, Windchill, EPDM, and legacy ERP systems.
- Upgraded existing Teamcenter data to a new, enhanced PLM model.
- Business rule-driven transformation to resolve BOI conflicts and attribute inconsistencies.
- Complex transformation rules applied for attributes, BOI relationships, and conflicting item ID resolution.
- BOMs consolidated while preserving CAD data integrity across NX, Creo, and SolidWorks systems.
- Part families migrated with data profiling and quality checks embedded into the migration flow.
eQube® Benefits
- Zero-downtime migration executed using eQube®'s extensible migration framework.
- Reusable migration solution design leveraged common patterns across source and destination systems.
- Rapid deployment using eQube®-DaaS with no negative impact on downstream systems.
- 99.5% data accuracy achieved through automated validation in migration pipelines.
- Data anomalies identified and resolved pre-migration using eQube® Data Profiler.
- Achieved 20X faster time-to-value (TTV) compared to manual approaches and reduced TCO 15X by retiring 13 home grown (legacy) applications.
eQ Process
- Executed TC:TC (Teamcenter to Teamcenter) transformation and EXT:TC (External system to Teamcenter) migration across 26 A&D locations and 10 industrial locations.
- Used eQube®-MI with reusable templates and no-code logic for bulk and delta migrations.
- Source data processed via standard eQube® connectors from Windchill, EPDM, Teamcenter, and legacy ERPs; and loaded into target TC.
- Used eQube®-MI with reusable templates and no-code logic for bulk and delta migrations.
- Consolidated BOMs while preserving CAD integrity across NX, Creo, and Solidworks; transformed Part Families and attributes.
- Resolved data quality issues and conflicting IDs through configurable mapping and BOI rules.
- Deployed in planned waves with rollback support, ensuring zero disruption to operations.
