Car Industry Relies on PLM

January 24, 2012

The 2012 North International American Auto Show in Detroit is showing off more than the latest and greatest in automobiles.  It is also showing off Siemens Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)  Software. The business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division announced that “Siemens PLM Software Technology Used by Nearly  All Companies Unveiling New Vehicles at North America International Car Show.”

Siemens has expanded it market share of the global automotive market when two major OEMs replace “their computer-aided design (CAD) and PLM systems with technology from Siemens PLM Software.”

Siemens PLM Software’s world leading technology is used by 15 of the top 16 global automotive OEMs to plan, evaluate and coordinate the development and manufacturing engineering of their vehicles. Siemens PLM Software satisfies the mission critical needs of leading automotive OEMs for managed collaboration across complex engineering functions and throughout the extended supply chain.

The automotive industry has recently made a huge resurgence. It seems to us that PLM has played a huge part in that.  There will certainly be more modernization with the help of technology that goes beyond PLM.  Take for example Inforbix who is developing technology and tools to help busy engineers make the most of their time by simplifying how they find, re-use, and share product data.  We think Inforbix software will help the car manufacturers in the future and zoom straight to the top.
