LS Cable to Reap Benefits of PLM Foundation with UGS PLM Software’s Portfolio of Digital Lifecycle Management Solutions

UGS PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation and Drives (A&D) and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced that the Machinery Division of LS Cable, one of the largest cable manufacturers in South Korea, has standardized its Product Data Management (PDM) with UGS PLM Software’s UGS TeamcenterTM portfolio.

UGS PLM Software made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst event, at which key company executives plan to share the company’s go-forward vision for the PLM and production automation markets.

The Machinery Division of LS Cable manufactures tractors, air-conditioners, refrigerators and injection molding machines. LS Cable uses UGS NX, UGS PLM Software’s digital product development software, and has done so for more than five years. Now with the UGS Teamcenter purchase, the company is able to employ a comprehensive PLM system to achieve its goals - to improve operational transparency and enhance business competitiveness.

LS Cable planned to overhaul its existing Bill of Material (BOM) management system into a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system and a PLM platform. After a detailed assessment, UGS Teamcenter was selected based on its powerful multi-site Web support, multi-computer-aided design (CAD) capabilities and seamless integration with LS Cable’s ERP.

“With our previous success using UGS PLM Software’s solutions, we are confident that they understand our needs and goals and will help us achieve them,” said E. H. Lee, CIO of LS Cable. “UGS Teamcenter’s open platform will also provide us with industry leading data management capabilities to drive product development and enable better business decisions. The addition of UGS Teamcenter further strengthens LS Cable’s PLM foundation and enables the company to reap more benefits from the standardized suite of UGS PLM Software solutions. Looking forward, we plan to integrate the current PLM platforms with overseas business divisions to supplement this implementation.”

“LS Cable’s selection of UGS PLM Software’s digital lifecycle management solution is testimony to our ability to deliver best of breed, scalable, open solutions to meet the growing needs of our customers,” said Hans-Kurt Lübberstedt, senior vice president, Asia Pacific, UGS PLM Software. “We are pleased to continue providing complete PLM solutions and to prove our mantra of never letting a customer fail.”
