Today we are capable of creating superior materials with today’s superior technology and advanced simulation techniques. And researchers are working to ProPeL us forward. ?? Composite materials, which typically consist of a plastic resin matrix reinforced with fibers like carbon or glass, offer significant advantages due to their high strength-to-weight ratios, essential for sustainable technologies. Effective integration of material characterization, manufacturing processes, and performance evaluation is crucial to optimally utilizing composite materials, particularly in sectors such as aerospace, automotive and energy. The ProPeL (Process and Performance Simulations of Lightweight Structures) project strives to address these complexities by creating a comprehensive approach to integrate material characterization, simulation and performance evaluation. #Simulation #Manufacturing

Companies around the globe are constantly striving to work more efficiently in order to bring their products to their customers more quickly. As a trusted service provider to large enterprise customers such as Asus, Xiaomi, Murata and Epsom, PT Sat Nusapersada Tbk (PTSN), one of Indonesia's largest providers of electronics manufacturing services (EMS) understands this imperative very well. ?? The company has recently expanded its surface mount technology lines to 24, and this increase of production capacity called for a need to reduce manual work, particularly during the process of new product introduction. To help with that, Sat Nusapersada implemented our Process Preparation software, to help them keep assembly, test and inspection data up to date in a single environment for all stages of the surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing process. This dramatically reduces the need for manual, error-prone updates, which can cause consistency and reliability issues. What has been the impact? ?? After implementation, Sat Nusapersada has benefited from a 70% reduction in time needed to gather all the incoming data for projects while improving line efficiency by 23%. Use of Siemens Process Preparation has also helped Sat Nusapersada reduce SMT programming tasks by 21% (line configuration setup, common feeder, data output/transfer, move existing product between lines of different equipment brands). The design time needed for solder stencils was reduced by 30% by leveraging the learning libraries that automatically set the correct aperture shape and size to new footprints. “We have achieved significant increases to our production capacity with the introduction of Siemens’ Process Preparation which, when combined with decreases in manual rework, we’re able to better serve our customers and bring them their critical electronics in the timescales that today’s industry demand,” said Stanly Rocky, Asst General Manager of Public Relations, Sat Nusapersada. “it’s great to see the benefits that Sat Nusapersada have gained from implementation of Siemens’ Process Preparation and how it is benefitting from improved efficiency in its SMT production lines,” said Alex Teo, our managing director and vice president, South East Asia. “Our success is the region is centered on enabling our customers to not only innovate their own products, but to scale up the production lines for an increased global demand for electronics.” To learn more about this announcement, check the comments for the link to our newsroom. ?? #efficiency #manufacturing #software

Imagine you’re managing a complex product launch where every detail must align perfectly across design, engineering and production teams. Each team may have its own way of doing things and even small inconsistencies in the Bill of Materials (BOM) can lead to big issues—costly delays, production snags or design miscommunications. ENERCON faced these challenges too. ENERCON’s move to an integrated BOM with Teamcenter marked a turning point. By centralizing BOM data, they eliminated redundant efforts across teams, ensuring everyone—from design to production—shared the same data and updates. This shift reduced translation time by 75%, saving valuable time and enabling teams to work more closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners. Now, ENERCON can respond swiftly to changes and reduce risks, consistently meeting market demands without the bottlenecks that once held them back. #BOM #DigitalTransformation #Engineering
