Embed lifecycle intelligence into your product development
Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment connects to Makersite for fast, full-scale lifecycle insights across design, material, and sourcing decisions.
The widening gap between product development and sustainability insight
Product and environmental data often live in separate systems, creating slow handoffs between engineering and sustainability teams. This means critical lifecycle insights, such as identifying carbon hotspots and evaluating material alternatives, often arrive too late after key product decisions are already locked in.
As a result, engineers lack the timely information to understand sustainability impacts during design, turning ecodesign into a reactive exercise rather than an integrated part of the development workflow.
Bridge the gap with sustainable product design
Makersite’s integration for Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment bridges this gap by creating a seamless connection between the engineering bill of materials (BOM) and deep supply chain intelligence, enabling teams to evaluate sustainability impacts directly within the product development workflow.
- Enrichment of Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment data: The integration links product BOMs from Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment to deep-tier supply chain intelligence, creating a more complete and accurate model of the product lifecycle.
- Actionable insights for engineers: Engineers can evaluate carbon impact, compliance risks, and material alternatives while designing products, enabling informed decisions earlier in the development process
- Streamlined LCA and reporting: The workflow accelerates lifecycle assessments and reporting by automatically generating auditable LCA results based on real product and supply chain data.
Connect ecodesign to business success
Empowering engineers with data-driven ecodesign capabilities is not just an operational improvement. It is a direct response to the most powerful market forces reshaping manufacturing.
This integration enables companies to turn regulatory and market pressures into a strategic advantage by first securing their licence to operate and sell.
It directly addresses the regulatory shift towards mandatory product-level data such as the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), by enabling auditable, product-specific lifecycle insights that help manufacturers meet emerging requirements and reduce compliance risk.
The same capabilities also create competitive advantage. As OEMs and procurement teams increasingly evaluate suppliers based on verified sustainability performance, companies that can provide credible product-level data are better positioned to win business and strengthen commercial relationships.
Ultimately, in a market flooded with generic “green” claims, integrating lifecycle intelligence into product development builds credibility and brand value by enabling companies to substantiate sustainability claims with auditable data derived from real product BOMs and supply chains.

More on Makersite’s integration with Siemens’ Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment
What is the Makersite integration with Siemens’ Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment?
The Makersite integration with Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment connects engineering product data with environmental and supply chain intelligence. It enables engineers to access carbon, cost, and compliance data directly within their existing product development workflow, without needing to switch systems.
By combining Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment product structures with Makersite’s supply chain intelligence, companies can analyze lifecycle impacts and make more informed design decisions earlier in development.
How does the integration help with sustainability?
By embedding environmental intelligence directly into the design process, the integration enables engineers to identify CO₂ hotspots, evaluate alternative materials, and assess lifecycle impacts while products are still being designed. This allows sustainability to move from a reactive exercise to a proactive, embedded capability.
What are the main benefits for engineering teams?
The main benefits for engineering teams are real-time environmental insights, faster lifecycle assessments, and better decisions earlier in the process.
Why is this integration important now?
The integration is important now as sustainability regulations such as the EU’s Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) are increasing the need for product-level environmental data. By connecting product engineering data with supply chain intelligence, the Makersite and Teamcenter Sustainability Lifecycle Assessment integration enables manufacturers to generate traceable, auditable insights needed for compliance, reporting, and future DPP requirements.
Who should use this integration?
This integration is designed for teams that need to connect product design with environmental performance, including:
- Product development and engineering teams
- Sustainability and lifecycle assessment specialists
- Compliance and regulatory teams
- Supply chain and procurement teams
It is particularly valuable for manufacturers seeking to reduce product environmental impact while meeting growing regulatory requirements.
What makes this integration different?
Traditional sustainability assessments rely on manual data collection and disconnected tools. This integration uses real product BOM data and supply chain intelligence to automate lifecycle analysis directly within the engineering workflow. This enables consistent, repeatable environmental insights at scale.
