Sahajanand Medical Technologies (SMT) has implemented Siemens’ Teamcenter software to expedite medical device innovation and support product life cycle management throughout the company.
The cardiovascular medical device manufacturer has integrated this system as part of a wider digital transformation initiative designed to improve collaboration and facilitate compliance with global regulatory standards.
A part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, Teamcenter provides SMT with a centralised digital infrastructure that connects data from engineering, quality, and programme management into a single location.
SMT’s objective is to digitise key processes related to the product life cycle, enabling teams to cooperate and meet the demands of standards such as FDA 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485.
The adoption of Teamcenter gives SMT access to a range of features designed for the medical device sector.
These include capabilities for collaboration, project planning, classification, and schedule management, along with tools specific to the medical device industry to support the creation and control of design history files, device master records, change management and test and verification activities.
This digital platform is designed to provide traceability from requirements through to design, manufacturing and quality assurance.
Siemens noted that the implementation was carried out by its partner, ThinkInnov Solutions, which managed deployment, configuration and training for SMT staff.
The digital system is now in use across SMT’s research and development and quality teams, supporting activities from initial risk analysis to product launch and subsequent changes.
Siemens India managing director Mathew Thomas said: “Medical device manufacturers are balancing increasing product complexity with demanding regulatory requirements.
“By connecting product development and quality processes, Teamcenter helps provide the visibility, traceability and collaboration needed to support compliance while helping bring innovative products to market faster.”
SMT is expanding its global presence with this digital initiative, aiming to streamline the development and delivery of its products to healthcare markets worldwide.
