Siemens Digital Industries Software has collaborated with FoodChain ID to bring world-class food supply chain compliance and regulatory information to the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software - enabling the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry to maintain product quality while managing the complexity of regional compliance. The integration of FoodChain ID’s industry leading data within Siemens’ Teamcenter software provides product development teams upfront visibility on how to design, manufacture and market products in different regions across the globe much earlier in the process – helping to reduce the complexities of regional compliance and build better, more sustainable consumer packaged goods and products - all directly from within their secure, data managed PLM software of choice.  FoodChain ID’s expertise in compliance and regulatory information is delivered as part of Siemens’ Integrated Lifecycle Management (ILM) digital thread, based on Siemens’ Teamcenter. This enables customers to digitally transform their consumer product development processes by adopting integrated lifecycle management practices to rapidly innovate and bring new products to market faster – by enhancing flexibility, optimizing collaboration and leveraging intellectual property more effectively. “We are excited to collaborate with Siemens to bring our expertise in formulation and regulatory compliance to the Teamcenter ecosystem,” said Clinton Chadwick, vice president, strategic partnerships at FoodChain ID. “Teamcenter already includes Siemens’ unrivaled expertise in process manufacturing and this collaboration enables us to deliver our best-in-class formulation capabilities and trusted regulatory compliance for the food and beverage, cosmetics, and personal care industries tightly integrated into Siemens' incredibly robust PLM solution.” “By adding compliance and regulatory information from FoodChain ID to our leading Integrated Lifecycle Management digital thread, the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio brings early and upfront visibility on how to design and market a product in different countries and regions,” said Mario Vollbracht, global vice president, Consumer Products & Retail, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “This collaboration will help product designers maintain product quality while also helping them to manage the complexities of compliance across the world’s regions.” “We value the collaboration with FoodChain ID. Over the past year, we have proven to the market, our customers and our prospects in the CPG industry that our combined offering allows for fast and meaningful consumer products innovations,” said Jill Powers, vice president of sales, USA, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “FoodChain ID provides tailored technology, insights and expertise to food, beverage, ingredient, dietary supplement and cosmetic companies across the global supply chain.
