Saft Power Systems Globalizes its Design Process with the Help of Zuken
With a strong presence in the fields of telecommunications, information, and many other industrial markets, Saft Power Systems has chosen Zuken to reinforce the overall effectiveness of the group by rolling out Zuken’sCR-5000 solution internationally.
Using CR-5000, Saft Power Systems will solve their design technology challenges while tapping into the resources of a global organization and all managed by the pilot skills center located in Lannion, France.
A long-standing partner via the VISULA product, Saft Power Systems has now entrusted Zuken with the implementation of an integrated design platform for its various international sites. The deployment of CR-5000 has begun in France on the Lannion site, and will continue to be rolled out through the fourth quarter of 2008. It will be followed by implementation in the UK, the USA, Malaysia and Germany. Mr. Antoine Le Gall, Head of the Lannion design office, declared “We were looking for a quality total solution that would allow us to harmonize our satellite design centers with our skills center. Beyond support, Zuken also offers world-wide technical and commercial assistance that are real assets in the deployment process.”
Other decisive factors, tied to the capacity for integration of the design environment in the processes of product life-cycle management, were involved in the choice of Zuken’s CR-5000 solution. “We were also looking for a modern tool that allows for easy integration with our product life management tools. We needed the interface with SAP to be as simple and as transparent as possible for users. ” added Mr. Le Gall
Throughout 2008, the Saft-Zuken partnership will be developed on various sites, helping the firm to meet its technological and structural challenges.
