Siemens helps build the world’s most sustainable car
Summary
Chris Foxall, Financial Director at Riversimple, said: “When we announced our long-term strategic partnership with Siemens at the start of the year, we were optimistic of the possibilities that our collaboration could bring in terms of supporting our preparations for full-scale manufacture. "Through the innovative work of the hackathon and leveraging Siemens’ expertise in technology software and plant simulation, driven by its engineering talent, we have been able to reduce the size of the proposed factory by 20%, saving significant cost from the outset, and supporting our ambitions for environmental sustainability. Dan Burbridge, Digitalisation Specialist, led the composites manufacturing team working alongside Aamir Adam, Field Service for Automation, Marie Aylward, Graduate Electrical Engineer, and Ben Parry, Digital Technologies Apprentice. “Our proposals included Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and assisted lifting equipment for better output of the system, the birthing of the tank, and identifying required parts. Once again, we set a significant challenge to use brainstorming and development to accelerate ideas into real-life solutions, and once again they have come up trumps, demonstrating the power of collaboration and digital enterprise tools.”
