Bombardier to digitally transform the aircraft engineering process from concept through to production with Siemens Xcelerator
Bombardier, a global leader in aviation, focused on designing, manufacturing and servicing business jets and specialized mission platforms, has expanded its adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software for aircraft development to streamline its product engineering processes to meet the challenges of modern aerospace design and push the boundaries of innovation.
Bombardier has selected Siemens’ NX™ software for 3D modeling, simulation and manufacturing during aircraft development and Capital™ software for electronic/electrical systems design. Bombardier has been a user of Siemens’ Teamcenter® software for product lifecycle management (PLM) since 2018. This expansion of Siemens Xcelerator will enable Bombardier to leverage the comprehensive digital twin across the full aircraft lifecycle to improve performance and shorten program cycles. Bombardier is replacing its legacy system so they can create a seamless, integrated digital thread, leveraging Teamcenter as the digital thread backbone, to bring mechanical and electrical design together in a PLM-based collaborative environment.
Bombardier has also adopted Siemens’ Mendix™
low-code platform. The company’s first Mendix app improves efficiency for
end-users with search functionality to connect outside application data with
Teamcenter. The Siemens Xcelerator solution improves the quality and security
of Bombardier’s data while saving time and effort for the internal IT team.
“Bombardier’s selection of a wider set of
software from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio demonstrates the value the
company has realized from using
our software as well as the value of a cohesive and comprehensive digital
thread to optimize the aircraft development process and accelerate delivery of innovation,”
said Todd Tuthill, vice
president of Aerospace & Defense Industry, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We look
forward to continuing our collaboration with Bombardier as we explore the
future of a sustainable aerospace industry together.”
“We are pleased to be working closely
with Siemens to enhance and optimize our digital aircraft development process,”
said Glenn Chapnik, Senior Director, Engineering,
Projects, Processes and Tools, Project Planning, Bombardier. “With the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, we can transform
our processing capabilities and maximize all parts of the manufacturing
process, seamlessly ensuring a solid pathway for further acceleration and
innovation.”
Collaborating on workforce development
Bombardier is also collaborating with
Siemens to reshape the future of its workforce by working with universities and
schools to provide students access to Siemens’ software to develop the skills
they will need to successfully enter the industry after graduation.
“Using Siemens Xcelerator
provides an integrated solution spanning across engineering disciplines
and downstream users, which could facilitate the use of consistent processes
and leverage collaboration across the enterprise. Bombardier looks forward to
what we can achieve from these capabilities,” added Chapnik.
