Kunming Shipbuilding Equipment Co. Boosts Competitive Position with Siemens PLM Software’s Teamcenter and Solid Edge

Siemens PLM Software announced that Kunming Shipbuilding Equipment Co. (KSEC) selected Solid Edge® software and Teamcenter® software to upgrade its digital design and product data management solutions, respectively.

KSEC, a major machinery and automated logistic systems manufacturer and exporter, expects end-to-end PLM solutions to add value to its business by automating the design, engineering and customization of its innovative products. KSEC also expects to reduce its product time to market cycle and enhance its competitive strength in today’s challenging economic conditions.

“The user-friendly synchronous technology in Solid Edge goes beyond our expectations for flexibility and for significantly speeding up design with powerful capabilities such as 3D design and instantaneous modeling which allows us to design, make modifications and fulfill customer change requests much faster,” said Liu Linhai, director of IT department, Kunming Shipbuilding Equipment Co. “Teamcenter enables our engineers to optimize the power of Solid Edge through better information and resource management, enhancing teamwork, control, logistics support and yielding greater productivity and product and service innovation.”

KSEC’s quest for a PLM solution was driven by the company’s need to enhance efficiency while boosting its capability to design leading-edge machinery. Solid Edge allows KSEC to migrate from 2D to a more robust 3D design platform, and Teamcenter helps simplify and accelerate implementations, enhance productivity, streamline collaboration and expand control of the entire product lifecycle process.

“Siemens PLM Software’s fully integrated end- to-end PLM solutions create real value for Chinese manufacturers, helping turn more ideas into successful products and bringing better products to market faster,” said Chuck Yuan, senior vice president and general manager, Greater China, Siemens PLM Software. “Solid Edge allows KSEC to work much more efficiently, determining in the design phase that all components will fit. Teamcenter provides an integrated consistent solution across the enterprise and the ability to collaborate more effectively with customers and partners. The solution boosts innovation through easy migration from 2D to 3D design and an interactive design paradigm, providing a powerful workflow engine to automate and orchestrate processes across the enterprise and with partners.”

“Siemens PLM Software’s technology combined with the professional local implementation and training of our designers and our solid working relationship made this an ideal solution for KSEC,” said Liu Linhai.

Solid Edge with synchronous technology is the core CAD component of the Velocity Series™ portfolio and incorporates Siemens PLM Software’s new history-free, feature-based design technology.
