Aston Martin to Standardize Sports Car Development on Siemens PLM Software

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software has announced that Aston Martin is standardizing its global sports car development process using NX software for integrated computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE) and Teamcenter software to manage its product and process knowledge.  

Aston Martin began a competitive PLM technology evaluation two years ago.

“The automobile industry is undergoing enormous transformation both in terms of technology and business operations. The increasing complexity of vehicles and changing economic conditions are forcing automakers to re-evaluate their existing PLM applications to align with the best available in the market,”  says Sanjeev Pal, PLM analyst at IDC Corp.

“Luxury automotive manufacturers like Aston Martin must make their product decisions earlier and more efficiently in today’s marketplace. We are pleased that our technology has been selected for the advanced product planning through detailed engineering processes which are critical to increased productivity,” says Chuck Grindstaff, president and chief technology officer, Siemens PLM Software. “It’s truly a must for OEM’s to be able to manage increased sophistication across all systems in a car to ensure quality while reducing time to market.”
