Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced that the global automotive components manufacturer - Denso Corporation has chosen its software portfolio for the technological foundation of their next-generation model-based development (MBD).
The MBD will help the auto components maker resolve existing issues and investigate a broad range of design possibilities early in the process and before physical models are built. This new process is expected to reduce the time needed for product development, cut costs, increase design quality, and improve competitiveness.
Siemens said it will be underpinning the project through various services, including process consulting, conducting pilot projects at the design site, and establishing processes for modelling. Using the Simcenter portfolio of simulation and test applications, Denso can continue to drive the implementation of system simulation in the development process. Simcenter solutions are being deployed for use by designers who can conduct 1D system simulation alongside analysis specialists, while Teamcenter software enables seamless distribution of model data among global sites.
Masaki Suzuoki, General Manager MBD Promotion Dept, Engineering Digital Transformation Promotion Division, Denso Corporation said the three-year MBD pilot has been successful, thanks to high-quality Siemens software products, expertise in consulting and technical service. The full-scale deployment will start throughout the company in Japan and abroad and the company looks forward to additional support from Siemens that can help accelerate MBD deployment across business domains.
Tony Hemmelgarn, President and CEO, Siemens Digital Industries Software, said the company was honoured to collaborate with Denso to drive next-generation MBD product development for their business transformation
“We appreciate the trust of Denso and the other global automotive companies who have chosen Siemens’ software and services for digital transformation, as well as effective and profitable operations.”
