The FINANCIAL — For record speeds both on and off the track, Infiniti Red Bull Racing is relying on Siemens software once again this season. At the team's factory in Milton Keynes, UK, over 100 engineers are using Siemens software to redevelop the world champion racecar for Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo. New rules issued for the 2014 Formula One season by the FIA, motorsport's global governing body, mandate wide-ranging changes in the car's design. Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software is helping ensure their rapid implementation, according to Siemens AG.
To adapt the racecar to individual track conditions, developers can simulate a wide range of variants on the computer in order to find the ideal configuration. Both in the factory and at the track, engineers have access to all the design data they need to continuously monitor the results of changes to the vehicle.
Siemens PLM Software, a Business Unit of the company's Industry Automation Division, is a leading global supplier of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and related services, with seven million licensed users and more than 71,000 customers around the world. Its industry software offerings provide Siemens with a platform that can transform companies in a wide variety of industries into digital enterprises.
The platform makes possible the full digital imaging and digital processing of every step in the product creation process. Today, industry software from Siemens is used for everything from adapting the front wings of Formula One racecars to particular track conditions and optimizing the complete car-making process to seamlessly monitoring every component in electronics manufacturing.
Siemens industry software enables companies to get products to the market faster, tailor offerings to individual customer requirements more precisely than ever before and continuously improve productivity and efficiency. With its industry software, Siemens is setting the pace in the digitization of manufacturing and thus enhancing quality and reliability, according to Siemens AG.
