ATS Global Partners with Cimolai Technology to Transform Heavy Equipment Design Using Siemens Xcelerator
Purpose
Cimolai Technology faced significant operational challenges in managing large-scale machinery projects across industries such as aerospace, shipbuilding, and heavy infrastructure:
- Managing complex mechanical assemblies with thousands of components.
- Coordinating multidisciplinary teams across multiple locations.
- Integrating design data with ERP systems efficiently.
- Addressing installation and operational challenges early.
- Innovating to meet evolving, high-tech client demands.
To overcome these challenges, Cimolai Technology decided to implement the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, with ATS Global supporting them as a Siemens partner.
Solution Approach
Cimolai Technology adopted a digital transformation strategy with the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio. To tackle the challenges of designing and producing large-scale, customized machinery, we implemented a suite of Siemens Xcelerator digital solutions to streamline operations and enhance collaboration. Our approach included:
- NX for Advanced Design and Simulation: Enabled detailed 3D modeling and simulations for early validation of mechanical systems, reducing reliance on physical prototypes.
- Teamcenter for PLM: Centralized product data management, improving traceability and version control across the product lifecycle.
- ERP Integration: Ensured seamless data exchange between engineering and business systems, reducing manual entry and improving consistency.
- Digital Collaboration Environment: Facilitated real-time collaboration between design, engineering, and production teams, accelerating decision-making and minimizing communication gaps.
- Simulation-Driven Engineering: Conducted virtual testing under real-world conditions to identify and resolve potential issues before manufacturing.
- Customization and Scalability: Supported tailored solutions for aerospace, shipbuilding, and infrastructure, with scalable infrastructure to drive future innovation and growth.
This enabled Cimolai Technology to streamline operations, enhance collaboration, and deliver precise, high-quality outcomes on complex, high-value projects.
