CIM Database PLM Accelerates Diehl Advanced Mobility Capabilities

Diehl Advanced Mobility, a specialist for cell contact systems, implements engineering processes to strengthen its position in international competition.

Cell contact systems connect individual battery cells into modules and direct electric power to where it is needed. This capability is useful for the performance and range of electric vehicles. Diehl Advanced Mobility (DAM) is a leading manufacturer in this field. The company is now implementing CIM Database PLM from CONTACT Software to address innovation and cost pressures in the e-mobility sector.

With CIM Database, DAM aims to optimize its engineering processes. The new PLM system will also help manage the product complexity resulting from the customer-specific solutions. In the selection process, CIM Database was the frontrunner for its modular architecture, scalability, intuitive user interface, and configuration options, according to DAM.

The PLM system will establish a single source of truth for documents and product data at DAM, integrating information from CATIA, Solidworks, and SAP via interfaces. Users can track their projects through the integrated project management and leverage multidisciplinary approval workflows to control processes across departments.

Diehl Advanced Mobility is part of Diehl Metall, a division of the globally operating Diehl Group. In 2024, the group generated revenue of 4.7 billion euros with around 18,700 employees.
