LiveCycle ES for manufacturing

Maximize effectiveness and engagement across the entire manufacturing ecosystem

With Adobe® LiveCycle® Enterprise Suite software, you can increase the reach and effectiveness of information already available in your CAD, ERP, PDM, and other business systems to better manage global processes, significantly reduce time to market, cut supply chain costs, increase revenue streams from after-market products and services, and extend the power of your enterprise systems to engage anyone — customers, suppliers, partners, and employees — anywhere. Using LiveCycle ES, you can:

Streamline the exchange of vital product information

Streamline the exchange of vital product information throughout the entire product lifecycle

Share product data — including 3D designs, 2D drawings, text, and forms —with a broad audience outside of engineering to make higher quality decisions earlier in the process through better business intelligence. Extend engineering information more securely across multiple downstream manufacturing processes. Use 3D design assets to start authoring technical documentation, marketing, and training deliverables sooner to meet product launch schedules.

Improve supplier collaboration and communication

Reduce the time, complexity, and cost of supplier collaboration and integration by optimizing the RFx process and efficiently managing contract creation, execution, and analysis. Share product data in PDF with anyone using free Adobe Reader® software, enabling authorized users to view and interact with product data and other documents without the need for CAD applications or CAD viewers.

Automate the generation and delivery of 3D PDF files

Automate the generation and delivery of 3D PDF files on a grand scale

Use Adobe LiveCycle PDF Generator 3D ES software, part of LiveCycle Enterprise Suite, to automate the conversion and distribution of 2D and 3D CAD design data and other product information to a rich interactive PDF. By leveraging PDF, you can more securely extend product information beyond the boundaries of your PLM and CAD systems.

Easily leverage information

Easily leverage information in existing systems to produce critical work instructions

Meet aggressive product launch schedules by automating the process of authoring, reviewing, and delivering work instructions, leading to higher quality, lower costs, and a safer work environment through greater control over plant floor operations.

Increase service delivery effectiveness

Increase service delivery effectiveness, reduce field service costs, and maximize customer satisfaction

Manage resources more efficiently and increase the effectiveness of service delivery by automating processes and improving user interfaces that enable technicians to speed repairs and minimize errors.
