One other lesson learned Hilmar shared in his presentation was that they included Siemens on their PLM steering committee. It was good to hear that our relationship goes beyond being just a tool vendor and really working collaboratively to improve their product development processes. Below is Mettler Toledo video to give you a little more insight into their products.
