Toyota Motor Corporation has expanded its vehicle safety information management system based on Siemens’ Teamcenter® software.  The system has been in use since January 2013 as part of a comprehensive initiative to produce safe vehicles for its customers. Teamcenter was selected based on the proven track record of its technology and its widespread usage throughout the global manufacturing industry. Market requirements regarding safety compliance for vehicles are constantly increasing. In 2011, the International Safety Organization (ISO) published the ISO 26262 Functional Safety standard which defines functional safety for automotive equipment applicable throughout the lifecycle of all automotive electronic and electrical systems. In order to ensure compliance with ISO 26262, Toyota decided to implement a new safety information management system based on PLM that would standardize processes across multiple divisions.   After evaluating several PLM software systems, Toyota selected Teamcenter. Toyota cited the widespread adoption of Teamcenter by the global manufacturing industry and

GRAPHISOFT® announced that a large-scale purchase agreement has been finalized between GRAPHISOFT and Obayashi Corporation; the agreement will equip more than 4,000 Obayashi staff with GRAPHISOFT BIMx Docs. Obayashi Corporation will adopt BIMx to make the award-winning BIM project presentation app available to thousands of field technicians, further ensuring on-site construction quality and management efficiency. As a result of this agreement, Obayashi will be authorized to install and use GRAPHISOFT BIMx Docs on all Obayashi-owned tablet computers in Japan. This agreement is yet another step on a path shared by GRAPHISOFT and Obayashi as a means of reforming the use of BIM among the design, construction and building operation functions within the entire Obayashi Corporation. “BIMx Docs’ superior operability was the deciding factor for its introduction. In order to effectively carry out our construction management, the BIM model must be brought to the construction site. BIMx Docs will further spread the use of
