Clear cost structure - Automotive supplier relies on Siemens for standardized cost management
Valeo Kapec (Valeo) is a South Korean automotive parts manufacturer, which supplies ten million torque converters for automatic transmissions globally every year. Due to a joint venture the company had a heterogenous structure, which made it difficult for Valeo to gain an overview of total development and manufacturing costs. In order to standardize and therefore better monitor cost estimates in future, the company is implementing solutions from Siemens Digital Industries Software. Valeo has been able to reduce calculation time, while also establishing a company-wide process for product costs and a uniform calculation standard.

Siemens acquires Atlas 3D - Expansion of Siemens Xcelerator software portfolio for additive manufacturing
Siemens Digital Industries software is expanding its additive manufacturing capabilities by acquiring Atlas 3D. The software specialist offers designers solutions for ‘right first time’ 3D printing, i.e. for optimal print orientation. The cloud-based GPU (graphics processing unit)-accelerated Sunata software reduces downstream 3D printing errors caused for example by thermal distortion up to 100 times faster than comparable systems.
