The strategic partnership combines CONTACT’s PLM, MES, and IIoT solutions with TJ Digital Systems’ problem-solving expertise to streamline engineering and manufacturing processes for companies across the United Kingdom.
In today’s highly competitive market, efficient product development and manufacturing processes are critical for business success. Digital solutions are key to achieving this: Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) enables cross-team collaboration and accelerates development, while Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) support efficient scheduling and resource allocation. Industrial machinery connected through the Internet of Things (IIoT) provides real-time production insights to identify bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and improve product quality.
Now, CONTACT Software joins forces with TJ Digital Systems to roll out end-to-end digital solutions for manufacturers in the UK. The strategic partnership combines CONTACT’s modular Elements platform with TJ Digital Systems’ deep knowledge of the UK manufacturing sector and proven expertise in systems integration, digital consultancy, and performance delivery.
CONTACT Elements enables companies to merge data silos into a single source of truth and integrates seamlessly with enterprise systems such as ERP or CAD. It supports cloud deployment and provides AI capabilities to optimize processes all the way from product development to manufacturing and service. Elements’ modular, low-code architecture allows gradual expansion, offering a future-proof solution that adapts to changing market requirements, customer demands, and regulatory standards.
As CONTACT’s regional partner, TJ Digital Systems will support UK customers throughout the entire implementation journey: from consulting and needs analysis to deployment and long-term support. Their comprehensive approach connects people, data, and technology. It fosters a culture of continuous improvement, enhances efficiency through standardized, lean methodologies, and leverages cutting-edge digital solutions such as CONTACT Elements. For customers, this leads to tangible results: TJ Digital Systems achieves an average efficiency improvement of 25% in their projects.
