ANN ARBOR, Michigan, USA 2 March 2022—CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces the release of a new whitepaper, Accelerated Product Development—Faster Decisions while Reducing Physical Prototypes. The whitepaper describes Siemens Digital Industries Software’s integrated and cross-discipline approach enabling accelerated product development within automakers, including the benefits automakers are realizing by using trusted simulations to make key product decisions earlier. Furthermore, the time consumed to build prototypes can be reduced once simulations are good enough to support the next set of product development decisions. With new drive lines and battery technology, not to mention the explosive growth in electronics and software, these capabilities allow automakers to remain fast to market.
Siemens Digital Industries Software (Siemens), a proven provider to the automotive industry, is enabling this acceleration by connecting engineering disciplines, providing capabilities that improve requirements traceability and techniques to conduct continuous verification and validation. Using their highly integrated model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach, teams stay integrated from start to finish while improving decision-making across the enterprise.
According to Mr. Craig Brown, a CIMdata Executive Consultant with over 30 years of experience in the automotive industry, “Today’s automakers need collaboration platforms that allow simultaneous development and use of sensors and intelligence from trusted sources. For them to survive and thrive, a fully integrated solutions set spanning multiple disciplines is required. Models improve as empirical data is recorded, making future decisions better. Building on their integrated MBSE solutions, Siemens is now helping automakers further accelerate their product development well beyond a vehicle’s mass manufacturing. By including insights from customer use, making validated operational upgrades is no longer just dependent on physical validation testing.”
