“Siemens has really come to the party to assist us to produce probably the biggest success story in the history of South African rallying.”

“Our engineers have implemented more than 200 innovations, 31 of which are brand-new significant design features.”

"Using 3D software is no longer a differentiator. The difference is in the technology and the approach. That’s where Siemens stands out. When it comes to product lifecycle management, Siemens PLM Software offers the best tools on the market. And the company’s representatives showed us very clearly how using its …

“I saw Fibersim for the first time at the SAMPE Conference back in 1998 and was blown away. The aperture was simple compared to the complexities of the crew module, but it didn’t make a difference to Fibersim.”

“The ability to model in layers, to vary material properties by dimension and to highlight elements and instantly see their features, for example, have helped us shrink turnaround time.”

“In only a few months of using NX, we achieved the same lead time as the previous solution. Then we shortened it further in the following months, also thanks to intensive training and support from Siemens PLM Software specialists.”

“Using Solid Edge, overall productivity has increased by 20 percent, as the company is now able to manufacture a single gearbox in 30 days, which compares with 40 to 45 days under the company’s prior process. Similarly, product turnaround has increased from 15 to 20 new products per year to …

“Another key improvement is the ability of Solid Edge to enable the company’s product managers to quote a price for a product based on its projected weight.”

“With trusted and strong CAE solution partners, we can concentrate on highspeed design/ analysis, streamlined compliance with industry standards and deliver on expectations. Business is good and growing.”

“Now, with the help of Teamcenter, all subsidiaries can access the same database as the mother company. Everyone can work with the same design rules, while the headquarters can monitor the activity of our subsidiaries and guide them to the best solution. Ultimately, the solutions they develop can be re-used, …

“Following the Teamcenter implementation...the generation of item codes for components and subassemblies was entrusted to the engineering department. This was a momentous change, because designers automatically generate the item code using Teamcenter as they develop the CAD model. The information is then released to SAP via a workflow.”

“LMS Testing Solutions help us conduct complex processes more effectively and efficiently. With the LMS solutions and LMS technical team, we have extra flexibility to get the material properties faster.”

“Oven design time has been slashed in half with Solid Edge, but the benefits of using the software for sales and marketing are also outstanding.”

"The ramp-up time has been shortened considerably due to simulation. Manufacturing resources can be provided trouble-free, and the necessary reworks made prior to start of production decreased by more than 50 percent. Major errors do not even occur anymore. This is absolutely necessary, as today’s typical deadlines and quality standards …

“Our engineers’ needs to be creative, develop the most innovative solutions and, at the same time, meet strict industry standards are well supported by using Femap with NX Nastran.”
