製品開発を加速

シーメンスの各種ツールとソリューションを使用すれば、製品開発プロセスが加速します。これらのツールとソリューションは、自動車メーカーが製品開発プロセスをスピードアップできるように設計されています。さまざまなソフトウェア・ツール、シミュレーション機能、テスト機能、データ管理ソリューションが付属しています。

データフローを追跡するには、複数のチームが同期した状態で作業できるデジタル技術を導入する必要があります。これにより、あるメンバーが加えた変更がすべてのメンバーのデータに反映されます。信頼性の高い唯一の情報源により、すべてのメンバーが最新の情報にアクセスして、いくつもの設計案の生成、探索、評価をすばやく自動的に行うことができます。これにより、コストのかかる試作回数を減らせます。また、目標と要件を満たす最適な構成を最短時間で特定できます。

設計探索プロセスを加速するには、コラボレーション機能を強化するシミュレーション環境を使用する必要があります。複数の設計案が自動的に生成されるため、規制に準拠した最も競争力の高い構成を特定できます。

最適な設計を特定した後も、状況は常に変化します。そのため、設計変更による影響をすべての領域で継続的に把握する必要があります。コンセプト段階、設計段階、初回試作の段階にいたるまで、製品設計を継続的に検証・妥当性確認することにより、「製品はすべての要件と目標を満たしている」との自信が持てるようになります。

Yes. Siemens offers cloud-enabled platforms that support automotive product engineering by connecting teams, tools and data in real time. These scalable platforms provide on-demand access to advanced technologies and computing power, allowing global teams to collaborate seamlessly, experiment rapidly with new innovations, and maintain a single source of truth throughout the automotive development process.

This is delivered through the Siemens Xcelerator platform.

Key strategies:

• Maintain a single, consistent data environment across all locations
• Leverage cloud platforms for real-time collaboration across distributed teams
• Integrate suppliers into the development process with seamless data sharing
• Enable on-demand scalability and elasticity to match project needs
• Access latest and advanced technologies and services without infrastructure investment
• Quickly experiment with and integrate advanced technologies into development workflows

Key benefits:

• Faster decision-making through instant access to current information
• Reduced communication gaps and improved alignment across global teams
• Scalable and flexible development environments that adapt to project needs
• Rapid response to peak demands for computing power without capacity constraints
• Enhanced processes and methods through continuous technology updates
• Faster focused innovation

Software for virtual vehicle prototyping is available through Siemens' comprehensive digital twin and AI-powered simulation solutions. These tools enable simulation-led, correct-by-construction design approaches that allow engineers to validate vehicle performance early and continuously throughout the automotive development process. By combining virtual testing with real-world operational data in a closed loop, engineers can reduce physical prototypes, accelerate innovation, and ensure safer, higher-quality vehicle designs.

Siemens provides these capabilities through Simcenter, Capital and NX CAD.

Key Strategies:

• Adopt simulation-led design to validate performance before physical builds
• Apply correct-by-construction design principles to minimize iterations
• Leverage digital twins for automotive product engineering validation throughout development
• Implement scenario-based testing beyond traditional requirements-based validation
• Combine simulation with real-world data for continuous improvement

Key Benefits:

• Time spent innovating rather than fixing designs through early validation
• Achievement of desired product behavior faster with front-loaded simulation
• Reduced reliance on physical prototypes lowering development costs
• Improved vehicle performance and quality through comprehensive virtual testing
• Insurance of safe and durable operation of product with virtual validation
• Improvements due to closed-loop feedback from operations to engineering
