Starting in the summer of 2012, Daimler will integrate work from over 20 development centers and their most important suppliers on a single product development platform, said a press release.
Daimler completes their current implementation of Teamcenter, the company’s product data management backbone. The automotive manufacturer will establish digital collaboration from initial concept design, through simulation during design, down to proof of concept of design solutions.
Prof. Bharat Balasubramanian, who looks at R&D product innovation and process technology at Daimler said, “The combination of NX CAD software with our product data management system Smaragd, which is based on Teamcenter, will integrate our entire product creation process from design through production planning down to managing production machines.”
With Daimler another vehicle manufacturer decided this year to optimize their worldwide vehicle development process with software solutions from Siemens.
Modern vehicle design requires an increasing integration of mechanical, electrical and electronic components with an ever expanding software ratio. This requires the integration of all of the information associated with mechanical, electrical and software in an integrated platform to allow for collaboration across the full value chain, including suppliers.
“Our CAD and PLM software will help manufacturers enhance their development processes and their production planning and therefore increase their productivity,”said, Chuck Grindstaff, president and chief technology officer of Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Division Industry Automation.
With software from Siemens, car manufacturers can manage the product and production planning in parallel with production, encompassing the entire value chain, the release added.
