The final goal is to allow cost engineers to manage a full roll-up, for both, cost and carbon footprint predictions. The emission factors are hosted in the multidimensional master data (with dimensions like region, customer, supplier, date, or any other), and the solution looks up the best value for the end-user depending on the calculation parameters. The carbon footprint calculator is aimed to be used at the early stages of the product life cycle within the development process, and not after the start of production where typically legacy systems take the lead from then onwards. Calculation of carbon emissions for a door panel switch This is then rolled up the assembly tree for a result.
Teamcenter Product Cost Management supports the calculation of emissions for energy usage in production systems, calculation of emissions based on used raw materials, purchased parts, and material compositions. The carbon footprint calculator for Siemens Teamcenter Product Cost Management 9.3 provides the opportunity for cost engineers to calculate carbon emission along with their cost calculations. Siemens Teamcenter : Optimizing product, and carbon emission strategies through environmental and economic transparency With the following, I’d like to share with you some of the main improvements. With Teamcenter Product Cost Management version 9.3, we have further expanded our capabilities enabling customers to benefit from the latest innovations. With the provided robust database, benchmark data, and analytic capabilities, product and tool costs can be calculated with near-surgical precision. Siemens Teamcenter Product Cost Management supports cost engineering in designing and implementing specifications at the lowest total cost of ownership, and lowest carbon emission, and in balancing the design with the costs of procurement, manufacturing, and assembly.
