Siemens has increased its deployment of Centric Software's innovation solutions with a substantial follow-on order.
Siemens has increased its deployment of Centric Software's innovation solutions with a substantial follow-on order.
The full deployment follows Siemens' successful phase-one implementation of Centric Software's Functional Prototyping solution made in mid 2002.
Siemens' full rollout of Functional Prototyping illustrates Centric Software's dedication to providing best-of-class Collaborative Product Innovation solutions to global manufacturers.
Siemens Transportation Systems (TS) uses the Centric Innovation solution to create a complete crossfunctional product definition and system-level simulation environment, bringing together for the first time rigid and flexible railway car body analysis to validate total product functionality during the crucial concept phase of railway car manufacturing.
Based on significant improvement over previous processes, reduced development costs and collapsed time-to-market gained in phase one, Siemens Transportation Systems (TS) is increasing the use of Centric Software's Functional Prototyping at five of its development centres throughout Germany and Austria.
"Strong technology at the heart of Centric Software's Functional Prototyping has enabled Siemens Transportation Systems (TS) to accelerate the overall virtual prototyping process and correct potentially costly errors on the fly before such errors are discovered in manufacturing", said Heinz-Simon Keil, Department Head Corporate Technology, Production Processes Virtual Engineering, Siemens.
"We are highly impressed with the core Centric Innovation technology and are also planning to deploy the Centric Software Innovation Management solution on a corporate level in the near future".
Centric Software's Innovation solutions consist of Innovation Management to collect, review, and decide on innovative ideas; Design-to-Order to breakdown product requirements and map them to fulfil target customer needs; and Functional Prototyping to validate new product concepts for technical and business feasibility.
"Siemens' decision to expand its deployment of Centric Innovation is a significant endorsement for our solution and technology", said Centric Software President and CEO Chris Groves.
"Centric Innovation complements and supports the Siemens strategy to define a complete 'Digital Master' of a new product: providing portfolio analysis, project and technical definition, and complete digital system level validation".
Centric Software's Collaborative Product Innovation solutions accelerate product development, significantly lower development costs, and are deployed by leading global manufacturers across various industries such as automotive, aerospace and defence, and heavy manufacturing.
