Let\u2019s dive into the highlights of their story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is Cimolai Technology?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located near Venice, Italy, Cimolai Technology is a leader in lifting and transportation equipment. Their mission? To be a trusted partner delivering specialized solutions for diverse projects and challenges. With facilities in Carmignano di Brenta, they cover all engineering aspects, from structural mechanics to software.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embracing digital transformation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giovanni Sabbini, Technical Manager and Project Manager, underscored the necessity of a powerful platform management tool.<em> \u201cWe needed a very robust platform to manage all our data and to share it throughout our business departments. That\u2019s why we chose Siemens NX,\u201d<\/em> Giovanni explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company sought an accurate 3D model and a cost-effective tool. NX delivered, offering a stable system capable of handling large assemblies and various models.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Achievements and future steps&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cimolai Technology has reached significant milestones with NX, extending their product range across industries like civil, marine, renewables, nuclear, and aerospace. <em>\u201cWe manage the full lifecycle of our equipment, starting from the offer, design, up to maintenance, after-sales, and disposal,\u201d<\/em> Giovanni noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their commitment to innovation ensures they stay ahead in their field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborating with Siemens experts&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Frequent collaboration with Siemens experts helps Cimolai Technology optimize processes. Using reference sets, similar load options, product outlines, and simplified comments, they manage large assemblies efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The digital version of their equipment allows them to manage all parts, from steel plates to welded structures and winches. This approach opens doors to advanced manufacturing and assembly directly in NX and provides customers with 3D models for easier maintenance and spare parts selection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Innovative projects and advanced routing&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cimolai Technology has tackled unique projects, like a 100-meter lattice boom for a rail boom guide crane and an amusement ride inspired by the iconic photo of ironworkers at Rockefeller Center. These projects showcase their ability to blend knowledge from various fields to create innovative products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are also advancing in hydraulic, electric, and electronic routing, using models to represent flexible hoses and rigid pipes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost-effective industrial setup&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Transitioning from a handcrafted manufacturing setup to a more industrial approach, Cimolai Technology has reduced engineering time by 30% and integration time by 50%. Having Teamcenter\u00ae software as the backbone plays a crucial role in unifying the whole organization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Giovanni\u2019s presentation at Realize LIVE 2024 highlighted the transformative impact of NX on Cimolai Technology\u2019s operations. Their journey towards digital transformation underscores the importance of robust and efficient tools in achieving business success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore the full recorded session on the Realize LIVE web library to learn more about their incredible journey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/content.sw.siemens.com\/2024\/c\/the-cimolai-technology-digital-transformation-with-siemens-nx?pk_vid=b3476782677369d88a656578efbed27d1718982178e7971c&amp;pflpid=19547&amp;pfsid=VRgA6rgxte&amp;pfsfc=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Watch Cimolai&#8217;s recorded session here<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:drew.wilson@siemens.com?cc=shannon.mcginty@siemens.com&amp;subject=Realize%20LIVE%202025%3A%20Interest%20to%20speak%20on%20the%20NX%20track&amp;body=Hi%20NX%20team%2C%0AI%20am%20interested%20in%20becoming%20a%20speaker%20on%20the%20NX%20track%20for%20Realize%20LIVE%202025.%20Is%20there%20a%20time%20that%20we%20can%20have%20a%20quick%20conversation%20to%20connect%3F%0A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to inquire about the NX speaker track<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/events.sw.siemens.com\/en-US\/realizelive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about Realize LIVE 2025<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Realize LIVE 2024, Giovanni Sabbini from Cimolai Technology captivated the audience with an inspiring presentation on their digital transformation&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":85609,"featured_media":10143,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spanish_translation":"","french_translation":"","german_translation":"","italian_translation":"","polish_translation":"","japanese_translation":"","chinese_translation":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[109],"tags":[14,3,501,499,533,6739,515],"industry":[],"product":[304],"coauthors":[676],"class_list":["post-10142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-3d-product-design","tag-cad","tag-nx","tag-nx-cad","tag-nxmakesitreal","tag-realize-live-customer-stories","tag-visualization","product-nx"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/Blog_Header_Cimolai_Technology.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/85609"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10142"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10217,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10142\/revisions\/10217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10142"},{"taxonomy":"industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industry?post=10142"},{"taxonomy":"product","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?post=10142"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/nx-design\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=10142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
