Today's challenges
Today’s products are smarter, more innovative, with more capabilities—resulting in far greater complexity. Too often, teams work in silos, using non-integrated tools from disparate software vendors, stifling innovation and losing the efficiency of parallel workflows. The result? Slower time to market, higher costs, lost sales opportunities, poorer quality, and team frustration.

With the Siemens Xcelerator business platform, design teams can work in parallel with confidence, with always-available access to the latest project data to streamline their workflow and build better, more sustainable products, faster.
Process management
It is immensely difficult to design and create industry-leading products when each team has its own siloed data and there is no single version of the “truth” for the project as a whole. Keeping teams mutually synchronized with the latest data is time-consuming and inexact—causing significant delays, inefficiency, and frustration that could be avoided if teams could trust they always have access to the latest project data and could collaborate more easily.

Teamcenter centralizes all product data and streamlines collaboration across teams, whether they’re in the same facility or scattered across the globe. Teamcenter simplifies complexity, change management, and traceability, enabling teams to work efficiently in parallel with each other, confident they always have access to the single version of the truth.
MCAD innovation
The ideal mechanical design software would be simultaneously powerful and easy to learn and use, enabling designers to maximize product innovation while accelerating time to market.

With NX, product designers can create complex designs faster. NX empowers designers to iterate and experiment faster to create superior products to better compete in the market.
ECAD innovation
Modern devices and products are rapidly becoming smarter and more connected, placing ever-increasing demands on the electronics components within those products. An ideal ECAD solution would enable electronics designers to embrace and resolve the inherent complexity in today’s intelligent, connected products.

Xpedition Enterprise is the industry’s most innovative PCB design flow, providing integration from system design definition to manufacturing execution. Its unique technologies can reduce design cycles by 50 percent or more while significantly improving overall quality and resource efficiency.
MCAD and ECAD collaboration
More than 3/4 of organizations either don’t share data between MCAD and ECAD teams or use ineffective tools, such as email and manual file copying, to share data between teams. Of the remaining organizations, 12% use the decades-old IDF format—forcing teams to import the entire design database whenever changes are made, making it difficult to identify changes and updates. Only 12% use the optimal IDX data format.

NX, Xpedition, and Teamcenter use the highly capable IDX data format, and build upon it to ensure team members can quickly identify each change, who made it, and when and why it was made—enabling teams to design with speed, confidence, and the minimum of risk.
Simulation
Designing today’s innovative, smaller, lighter, higher-performing electronics products is a challenge in itself. But it’s equally important to ensure those products perform as expected without creating thermal, vibration, or other problems when they’re manufactured. That’s why simulation is such an important part of creating the digital twin.
Why companies use simulation tools
Better products
Earlier insight
Faster innovation
Higher return on development investment
Greater productivity

Simcenter software provides powerful simulation tools—seamlessly integrated within NX—so engineers and designers can know in advance how products will perform and if there are potential problems that must be resolved.
The digital transformation advantage
As electronics products have become smarter, more connected, and more complex, winning against your competition requires seamless collaboration between teams, and better process and data management—in addition to powerful MCAD and ECAD software tools.
Research clearly shows that leading companies that embrace digital transformation achieve clear competitive advantages in accelerating time to market, improving efficiency, reducing risk, and maximizing revenue and profitability.
