“Siemens’ Designcenter NX software allows our designers to flexibly represent our highly complex, large-scale products, providing immediate access to specific details and enabling the identification and comparison of potential issues. We describe Designcenter NX as immediate, easy, and accessible,” said Giovanni Sabbini, technical manager, Cimolai Technology.
Cimolai Technology needed a way to manage large-scale assemblies more efficiently and improve collaboration between engineering and production teams. The company worked with Siemens’ sales partner, ATS Global, to implement Siemens Xcelerator to connect engineering and manufacturing, including Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integration.

A recent aerospace project highlighted the need for practical management of highly complex and sensitive data. With the selection of Siemens’ Teamcenter® software for PLM, Cimolai Technology has better managed the development of the Self Propelled Transporter FBT 300. This system is designed for the horizontal integration of the first stage of the Ariane 6 and VegaC solid rocket motors.
“The FBT 300 is a massive machine that undergoes high forces and requires precise positioning and movement. Siemens’ software enabled us to develop the design and anticipate challenges during the installation phase,” added Sabbini.
