ebm-papst Implements Agile 9.2 Solution in China
Agile Software Corporation announced that ebm-papst , a world market leader in motors and fans, has deployed the Agile 9.2 PLM solution to manage the product record across its China operations. ebm-papst implemented Agile PLM to improve the company's capability to track, search, report and control the vast amount of data the company receives in a secure environment. Founded in 1963, ebm-papst has a one-of-a-kind product range of motors and fans. Headquartered in Germany, ebm-papst has more than 8,600 employees worldwide.
"Agile PLM was a competent solution for our organization based on its proven track record and out-of-the-box deployment capabilities," said Grace Shi, TQM Manager of ebm-papst Shanghai. "Agile allows us to deliver on our mission, which is to increase customer satisfaction while staying one step ahead of the competition."
The Agile PLM system will support users across two locations in China. Agile Product Collaboration will provide ebm-papst with enterprise visibility, management and collaboration of new and changing product record information across the extended supply chain. In addition, Agile Enterprise Visualization will provide ebm-papst with native document collaborative visualization across the global enterprise, providing the ability to leverage native design files directly from the enterprise product record in Agile. This solution allows all Agile PLM privileged users to have direct visual access to all managed files, without requiring the original authoring tool or special translators.
"Companies in the electronics manufacturing industry, like ebm-papst, continue to face increasingly competitive global markets," said James Aufdemberge, senior vice president, European operations. "Agile helps organizations improve product profitability, gain product insight and control and manage environmental compliance throughout the product network in a secure environment."
