Many of the new technologies that are disrupting heavy equipment industries, including innovative digital capabilities and electrification, lead to greater interactions between mechanical design, electronical and electronic systems design, and software. To achieve business success, manufacturers must find an effective way to deal with such multidisciplinary equipment design. But often, the way their organization grew over time, led them to have many disconnected teams, working in silos. Because of the complexity of multidisciplinary equipment design, this will result in endless iterations.
Siemens helps heavy equipment manufacturers accomplish complex multidisciplinary equipment design much faster by delivering an integrated and collaborative design environment where mechanical design, electronical and electric systems design, and software development can happen simultaneously. By following such a multidisciplinary equipment design approach, heavy equipment manufacturers can have all stakeholders collaborate in common tools and workflows, so that they have access to comprehensive multidisciplinary models and shared data. This will help them effectively master the complexity of multidisciplinary equipment design.
