Bombardier expands use of Siemens software to accelerate aircraft innovation
Summary
Bombardier has chosen to significantly expand its use of Siemens software in a move that is says strengthens its commitment to digital transformation across its aircraft development programmes. The Canadian business jet manufacturer is now deepening its relationship with Siemens Digital Industries Software to help drive efficiency, performance and innovation across its operations. By integrating more tools from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, Bombardier aims to build a fully connected digital thread that unites mechanical and electrical design within a single environment. The shift away from legacy systems is expected to improve the speed and agility of aircraft development cycles while maintaining high standards of quality and performance across the product lifecycle. Its first application, already in use, has enhanced user efficiency by allowing external data to be easily linked with Teamcenter via improved search functionality.
