3D Model with Visual Reporting

Visual reporting can improve usability, so even non-technical stakeholders can leverage the PLM data to make better decisions, faster.

In most product data management systems, product and process data are presented in lists, tables, and charts. As a result, users are required to understand a data structure to navigate to the information they need. Read on to learn more about visual reporting:

In contrast, Teamcenter Visualization Visual Reporting capabilities make it easy to quickly find the right information needed for a particular task by intuitively navigating the 3D model rather than the lists of text. In addition, the capabilities directly overlay relevant information on the 3D model, thereby enabling users, to quickly and clearly understand this data within a work-related context. These capabilities combine to facilitate better decision-making.
