Heavy equipment OEMs must manufacture the next generation of machines that utilize digitalization, electrification, specialization and sustainability. These additional functional and regulatory demands increase complexity\u2014more components from more suppliers who work in globally dispersed teams. To ensure current and future success, OEMs must achieve high-level design for heavy equipment manufacturing<\/a> flexibility and efficiency. How? By leveraging common information from design to execution, and back.<\/p>\n\n\n

The current state of play looks like this: different domains working independently, relying on a manual transfer of documents, drawings, spreadsheets and instructions. These disconnected systems lead to waste, miscommunication, mistakes and ultimately higher costs.  Design and manufacturing processes are slow and sequential, plus there is no opportunity for the sort of real-time collaboration that can correct mistakes before they\u2019re more expensive down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can a collaborative platform prepare you for tomorrow\u2019s heavy equipment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The answer is to cultivate a connected design for manufacturing approach. With this, you create an end-to-end connection for seamless data exchange between design, engineering and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having full access to design and engineering data when planning and optimizing your manufacturing operations and part production steps is crucial to success. In Siemens Xcelerator, our open digital business platform of software and services accessible as a cloud-based SaaS solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, all the necessary capabilities are bundled to foster continuous interaction between those teams in a single collaborative environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
