To help master these challenges,
Siemens offers a comprehensive
portfolio of products, solutions,
systems and services that optimizes
the entire product and production
lifecycle of automotive companies –
from efficient product design to
flexible production and maintenance
of the plant.
Automotive manufacturers
and suppliers have to
cope with a challenging set
of market requirements:
Shorter time-to-market, more vehicle models and
variants, higher productivity, reduced total cost
of ownership, highest plant availability and
production quality, increasing energy costs,
and finally, a globalized business.
Reducing time-to-market
Reduce your time-to-market by optimizing product and production lifecycles.
Siemens enables you to go from product
concept to vehicle production in significantly shorter timeframes by turning
otherwise isolated serial processes into
collaborative, parallel processes. You
can respond to changing requirements
faster than ever before since you can
simulate the design and production process in a virtual environment.
Our innovative Totally Integrated
Automation Portal provides an intuitive,
efficient, and future proven engineering
framework to optimize all your automation engineering tasks.
Optimizing product development and
production processes extends your
power of innovation and positions you
to address both today’s and tomorrow’s
market challenges more rapidly.
Increasing productivity
Being more productive means doing
more with less as well as eliminating
waste and non-value added activities
from lifecycle processes. With Siemens
you get to the next level of productivity –
