Cimolai Technology Enhances Heavy Equipment Industry with Siemens Tech

Siemens Digital Industries Software reports that Cimolai Technology, a company in the design, production, and installation of lifting and handling equipment, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software. This move aims to deliver custom-made solutions to meet technical specifications across sectors such as shipyards, infrastructure, and heavy industry, according to Siemens.

“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,” says Giovanni Sabbini, technical manager, Cimolai Technology.

Cimolai Technology wanted to manage large-scale assemblies 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 complex and sensitive data. By choosing Siemens’ Teamcenter software for PLM, Cimolai Technology has 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,” adds Sabbini.

“We need to be more tailor-made, more specialized, and stay one step ahead. Adopting Siemens Xcelerator is an important decision for our teams,” says Roberto Cimolai, CEO, Cimolai Technology. “Siemens Xcelerator helps us manage the daily complexities of our industry, delivering sophisticated machines to our customers and handling highly sensitive data. Our goal is to improve collaboration between engineers, designers, production and installation, driving innovation for our customers.”

“Cimolai Technology’s adoption of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the heavy equipment industry,” says Franco Megali, vice president and CEO for Italy, Israel and Greece, Siemens Digital Industries Software.
