Benefits of PLM Software Accelerate Competitive Advantage for Wright

With a commitment to evolving medical breakthroughs in the field of orthopedics, Wright management saw an opportunity to think bigger and push the envelope of innovation, quality, and compliance by trusting their business with the benefits of product lifecycle management (PLM) software, NX and Teamcenter, from Siemens Digital Industries Software.

Wright Medical Technology, Inc. is a global orthopedic medical device company specializing in the design, manufacture, and marketing of reconstructive joint devices and biologics. Headquarted in Arlington, Tennessee, USA, the company has been in business for more than 50 years, employs approximately 1,000, and is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “WMGI.”

As new products are developed and manufactured, Wright has expanded the use of the PLM software to manage all kinds of engineering specifications in a single platform. This includes gradually achieving the company’s objective of an electronic Device Medical Record (DMR).

“We’re growing. We’re increasing our market share every year. It has a lot to do with the systems that we run, Teamcenter being the main one.
