Fischer Automotive Systems Integrates UGS PLM Software's Teamcenter for Comprehensive CAD Data Maintenance
UGS PLM Software, a division of Siemens Automation and Drives ( A&D ), announced that Fischer Automotive Systems GmbH, a global automotive supplier that produces kinematics components, will use UGS TeamcenterT software, UGS PLM Software's digital lifecycle management solution, for the development and production of multifunctional car interior pieces such as ashtrays and air vents, and for the kinematics of individual components.
UGS PLM Software made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst event, at which key company executives plan to share the company's go-forward vision for the PLM and production automation markets.
The Fischer Group has used UGS NXT software, UGS PLM Software's digital product development solution, for more than 20 years in its construction and manufacturing processes and will now use UGS Teamcenter as its product data management solution to manage the company's large data repository, enhance collaboration and leverage product knowledge expertise that exists within its worldwide network of offices. The Fischer Group selected UGS Teamcenter for its collaboration capability, proven scalability and open platform which enables the company to manage product data from multiple computer-aided design (CAD) systems.
" Fischer and UGS PLM Software have been collaborating for many years and we are delighted that we have succeeded in expanding our partnership with a view to optimizing our global capacities," said Rolf Hauger, CAx team leader of Fischer Automotive Systems. "With UGS Teamcenter we can now coordinate several CAD systems into one and use it globally."
"Thanks to the open system architecture, leading customers, like Fischer, can use UGS Teamcenter as their PLM backbone to manage product data from multiple vendors with great ease," said Paul Vogel, UGS PLM Software senior vice president and managing director, Europe, Middle East and Africa. "UGS Teamcenter will enable Fischer to optimize available operating resources and, as a result, improve the quality of its products."
