The challenge
Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery wanted to reduce lead times in its CAE process, while also facilitating information usage for its users, in a more scalable, accessible context. It also wanted to be able to estimate costs and simulate products, in order to manufacture the right product. Further, the company wanted to be able to add information into the product model (including how it was constructed and could be constructed, a product description and information on who had worked on the product), rather than into the system. This would give a more general, flexible and system-independent way to manage product models, generating increased possibilities for analyses and decisions.
