Siemens PLM Software SUCCEEDING WITH TEAMCENTER EXPRESS, A VELOCITY SERIES SOLUTION Innovation is in their DNA. Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) is the largest supplier of custom nucleic acids in the United States. IDT supplies small portions of synthetic DNA or RNA for use in diagnostic testing for genetic diseases, infectious diseases and drug discovery. Each day the company synthesizes and ships an average of 36,000 custom oligonucleotides, as its products are called, using specialized machines that it designs and builds in-house. The machines and processes represent tightly guarded secrets that give IDT a competitive advantage. To achieve ISO certifications and meet continually changing Federal regulatory requirements, IDT evaluated version control for its design documents, seeking a solution for both CAD data as well as Office® documents. By using a combination of Solid Edge® CAD software, coupled with Teamcenter® Express product data management (PDM) software, both from Siemens PLM Software, IDT is now able to collaborate across departments and facilities. Most importantly, IDT has significantly accelerated the machine design process through the increased re-use of existing data. With its new PLM solution, IDT was easily able to gain ISO 9001 and 1345 certification and is well-positioned for future growth. Teamcenter Express is a pre-configured, fullfeatured collaborative PDM system and a core component of the Velocity Series™ portfolio. Velocity Series allows companies to implement PLM using software designed specifically for rapid, easy deployment on Windows®, at a low total cost of ownership.
