Powering smart manufacturing: connecting teams, suppliers & production

Experience the power of an end-to-end digital thread as Siemens reimagines the future of manufacturing with a next-generation digital manufacturing demonstration. One remarkable example? A high-performance EV transmission housing that is 35% stronger and 25% quieter than conventional designs. This breakthrough is made possible by seamlessly integrating digital tools across the entire design to manufacturing process—from design and 3D printing to CNC machining, quality inspection, and final assembly.

In the video below, we take you behind the scenes of this digital workflow, showcasing how we developed the transmission housing and demonstrating the impact of a connected, data-driven approach to manufacturing.

Streamlining manufacturing with digital connectivity

Explore how digital manufacturing empowers companies to work more efficiently. As part of this journey, we explore project planning and management, leveraging Teamcenter to connect the entire manufacturing ecosystem and outline the manufacturing plan from start to finish.

Specifically, we look at the importance of collaboration and supplier integration. Once engineers finalize their design, they need to efficiently share it, identify suitable suppliers, and manage the entire part manufacturing workflow in one unified platform.

Seamless end-to-end part manufacturing

At the project planning and management stage, Siemens experts showcase the continuity between generative design and production execution. The digital twin of the part is available, and manufacturers can use Siemens NX for Manufacturing solution to manage the end-to-end part manufacturing workflow.

Key capabilities demonstrated include:

• Centralized management of the entire part manufacturing flow
• Optimization of in-house and external supplier selection
• Reduction in time to connect with manufacturers and fulfill production needs
• Seamless order generation and supplier selection within the part manufacturing system

Expanding manufacturing capabilities

By connecting every stage of the manufacturing process, companies can reduce cycle times, improve quality, and drive innovation at scale. Explore the full potential of digital manufacturing and learn how Siemens is shaping the future of next-generation production.
