PLM SOLUTION
Automotive product lifecycle management
Accelerate product development – from product definition to concept to development to verification and validation – by integrating your mechanical, electrical and electronic software systems inside a unified platform. Our solutions are scalable for businesses of all sizes.
Optimize automotive PLM
Customer expectations demand new, technologically advanced features with a quick time to market. That means you must develop and release top-notch products at a rapid pace, including electric, autonomous, connected and shared mobility vehicles. When you also add-in constantly changing regulations, the process of design to validation gets even more complex.
Under this pressure, how do you continue to not only innovate, but produce high quality products and deliver quickly while keeping costs reasonable?
Implement a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution to build a data and collaboration system that will enable your entire organization to work as a single team, in real time, with one source of truth: from design to prototyping to testing to manufacturing and beyond.
What does a PLM solution do for you?
PLM is an information management system. It integrates data, processes and business systems throughout the entire product lifecycle.
With PLM, you can reduce time to market, improve quality, increase efficiency and reduce costs by making informed decisions with real-time data.

Frequently asked questions
How is PLM in the automotive industry?
Product lifecycle management (PLM) software helps automotive companies accelerate innovation from concept through production.
For many automotive companies, product and process knowledge is spread across multiple systems, databases and desktops. PLM provides the digital thread backbone that brings together all of your product and process-related information. A secure but accessible PLM system can be used from multiple applications by diverse teams.
Why does the automotive sector use PLM for production?
Complex product development requires a wide variety of software applications, including mechanical, electronic, electrical, software and simulation. When engineers develop systems and sub-systems independently, a lack of integration can lead to costly late-stage problems. An integrated, multi-domain automotive BOM within PLM enables a single, accurate product definition. You can control and track changes as they’re made to manage the evolution of your product in all its variants and configurations.
What PLM do the top automotive manufacturers use?
100% of the top 23 global automotive OEMs included on the Fortune Global 500 list use Siemens Xcelerator for PLM.
