Hyundai Heavy Industries’ shipbuilding division (HHI), the leading shipbuilding company in Korea, has selected Teamcenter and Tecnomatix software, Siemens PLM Software’s digital lifecycle management solution and digital manufacturing solution, respectively, to enhance PLM innovation to help reduce cost and improve time to market.

HHI will use Teamcenter as its product data management backbone to automate its entire design process linking CAD drawings and technical data with bill of materials (BOM) to help eliminate errors resulting from isolated design changes. Tecnomatix will enable HHI to innovate its manufacturing process by building a digital shipyard to simulate its production environment to resolve errors and enhance efficiency.

HHI, which selected Siemens PLM Software following an extensive evaluation process, was looking for a highly efficient PLM system that would help optimize its collaboration and digital manufacturing environment. HHI cited Siemens PLM Software technology’s performance and capacity as key decision factors. The company said it selected Siemens PLM Software because it received the highest marks in testing and because Siemens PLM Software was willing to supply a specialized shipbuilding template.

“The selection of Siemens PLM Software by a leader in the shipbuilding industry following a detailed evaluation process is proof positive that our industry specific solutions are right on target,” said Kwon Kyung Ryul, vice president and managing director of Korea operations, Siemens PLM Software. “Siemens PLM Software places great emphasis on contributing to customers’ vision through PLM and helping them turn more ideas into successful products.”

Siemens PLM Software currently provides PLM solutions to several HHI business divisions including construction equipment, engine and machinery, and electro and electric.
