Applications that Siemens plm develops each year help many users, both large and small companies, have a better development of their products. In particular, the product of the company, 'teamcenter', data manager has been implemented by three giants of the automotive industry such as Daimler, Chrysler, and Aston Martin.

These three brands trust in Siemens PLM was expressed in a meal that brought together journalists and representatives of the trade mark, within the framework of the restaurant 'The corner', located the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid. The event also served to discuss prospects of the company for this year which, like other sectors, expects a slight improvement over previous years.

It is not surprising that, after the fall of the past years strong, the economy will improve slowly but progressively. In the same way, in Siemens PLM expect this 2011 to be that of a moderate recovery from a crisis that, while not suffered so much for the high diversification of business and sectors in which the company participatesthey are not naturally immune. And also the last year has not been all bad for the company, as three automobile frmas trusted last year in Siemens PLM software.

Daimler elects CAD

Siemens PLM software CAD will be introduced in Daimler AG as a standard for the development of vehicles around the world. Daimler aims to integrate, since the summer of 2012, more than 20 development centres spread all over the world, as well as major supplier within a single platform of product development. Both companies agreed to treat confidentially the amount of the order.

Thus, with the implementation of the NX CAD software from Siemens, Daimler completes the platform 'Teamcenter', the cornerstone of the company for management of product data. This combination will enable the car manufacturer establish a digital collaboration that extends from the first sketch, by the resulting design simulation and verification of the feasibility of designed solutions. The consolidation of digital product information in a single source of parallel processes in the development, design, production and manufacturing planning will optimize the entire chain.

"Professor Bharat Balasubramanian, responsible for research and predesarrollos, innovations and technology processes of Daimler stated that" the combination of the NX CAD software and our production Smaragd, based on Teamcenter, data management system allows us to integrate all our product development processes", from the design to the management of the production machines".

Chrysler Group, also with Siemens

Another of the major manufacturers that Siemens has reached an agreement is Chrysler Group LLC, manufacturer of vehicles and products Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram Truck and Mopar. Both companies reached an agreement in July of last year to use the software for Siemens technology for design and product development. Chrysler began to use the Teamcenter PDM system at the corporate level in 2008 and since last year also uses the NX solution, for the development of the digital product.

In this way can offer, as they discussed sources of the group, "greater efficiency in the engineering and design and to help create a common platform of product development". In particular Scott Kunselman, senior Vice President of Chrysler Group LLC, said that "the integration of this tool will help to improve our ability to create new products on a collective basis, with improved quality and a launch to the market faster".

Aston Martin, a year with Siemens

Already a year ago that Siemens PLM announced that Aston Martin was standardizing the overall process of development of the sport using the NX software for integrated computer aided design, manufacturing and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) and Teamcenter software analysis to manage its knowledge of the product and processes. According to members of the company, "the commitment to company-wide global allow Aston Martin drive improvements in productivity, common processes and more effective global collaboration for the design and product development".

Aston Martin, three years ago, began its extensive and continuous competitive analysis of the technology PLM decision to migrate their current technology to NX and Teamcenter, discussed in Siemens, "is essential to consolidate its mission to continue to produce some of the best sports." Sanjeev Pat, PLM of IDC analyst said here that "the automotive industry is undergoing a huge transformation, both in terms of technology to business operations." "The increasing complexity of vehicles and changing economic conditions are forcing automakers to re-evaluate their existing PLM applications to align with the best in the market".
