Industrial Machinery Digital Thread
Advanced machine engineering
Industrial machine builders need advanced machine design tools capable of creating a digital twin of machinery containing mechanical, electrical, software and automation information, so they can effectively deliver projects on time.
Build smart machines with advanced machine engineering
Today's machine builders are challenged to produce highly tailored, smart machines within a short timeline. Advanced machine engineering solutions from Siemens leverage next-generation design software, a digital twin for machine design and integrated digital tools to ensure the effective delivery of projects on time.
Embrace the future of advanced machine design
It's time for machine builders to digitally transform their work processes, so they can begin rapidly producing the smart, connected machines their customers expect.
Shorter design phase
Accelerate time-to-market with collaborative design that connect domains at any time, from anywhere. (Tronrud Engineering)
More productive machines
Design and build machines with higher outputs while simultaneously reducing noise, vibration and energy consumption by using simulation early in the design process. (Picanol)
Faster product technical information retrieval time
Manage and share product information in a single location that supports searching and browsing, so less time is spent on CAD data management. (Biesse Group)
Improve your machine design process
Gain greater certainty in the development of next generation machines. Advanced machine engineering accelerates the design process and certifies machine performance by leveraging the digital twin for design, development and commissioning.
Manage product and project requirements information in a single location, resulting in better collaboration and easy design reuse. Machine builders and OEMs increase productivity while gaining visibility on progress without any additional overhead.
- Integrate project management and requirements management with design
- Align on-location and remote workers in a collaborative environment
- Ensure all team members have access to the information needed to do their jobs
Create the most comprehensive digital twin containing mechanical, electrical, software and automation information. Improve how you quote, design, produce, install and commission more complex, smart, connected and flexible machines than ever before.
- Simulate designs to produce high-performance, energy-efficient machines
- Perform multi-disciplinary analysis without costly physical prototypes
- Eliminate errors with a single, updated virtual mockup of the machine
Take a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to design and ensure all customer requirements and industry regulations are met quickly and efficiently. Create an environment compatible with modular design for faster bid response times.
- Integrate engineering disciplines to rapidly deliver highly complex machines
- Use virtual commissioning to verify designs in the first stages of development
- Enable project data to be reused, updated and scaled for mass customization orders
Machine builders using Siemens' solutions can achieve:
Faster collaboration
An integrated solution that rapidly connects remote and in-person workers, driving alignment and streamlining design changes. (Schlatter)
Fewer prototypes
Improve machine accuracy with design simulations in Simcenter, saving time and resources while reducing the need for physical prototyping. (Ronchi Mario)
Shorter lead times
Accelerate the machine building process from start to finish through consistent, automated workflows that simplify decision-making. (Anger Machining)
