FARNBOROUGH, England, May 07, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) --Roulunds
Braking -- one of the world's leading manufacturers of braking
products to the automotive industry -- has been successfully using Autodesk
PLM 360 lifecycle management software from Autodesk,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) as its central source of information for the
expansion of the company's manufactured products business.
Unlike traditional product
lifecycle management (PLM) systems, Autodesk PLM 360 is a more
affordable, instant-on, cloud-based PLM solution capable of integrating
and adapting easily with existing systems.
"It's the only product of its kind. The ability to rapidly deploy the
system and provide all users with access to real-time data has
significantly minimised development errors and improved development
time. Using Autodesk PLM 360, I'm able to configure the system to work
just how we want it, with no software development experience and little
or no outside consulting help," said Mark Lawrence, development engineer
at Roulunds Braking.
At Roulunds, Autodesk PLM 360 manages new product development data
across the globe, providing approximately 50 users with access to the
latest design schedules and modifications. Autodesk PLM 360 helps
streamline workflow, keeping all stakeholders informed of the work done
by others through automatically generated emails. Roulunds then migrates
the relevant design release data to a company-wide enterprise resource
planning (ERP) system.
"Our customers tell us they prefer being able to help themselves to our
most current design information and request changes while proceeding
with their designs. The ability to use Autodesk PLM 360 to selectively
reveal up-to-date product engineering data was a major selection
criteria for us," said Mark Lawrence.
Roulunds Braking has expanded rapidly over the past few years and now
supplies original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as the
after-sales market.
