Jet Aviation Selects Siemens for New PLM System

Jet Aviation Basel has selected Siemens to provide the software for its digitalization strategy. The company was looking to replace its legacy PLM (product lifecycle management) system for one with improved scalability and openness.

After evaluating systems, Jet Aviation’s Basel MRO and Completions facility chose Siemens’ NX and Teamcenter. The integration will begin September 2016, a press release states.

According to the company, Jet Aviation Basel needed to accelerate its digital transformation and put its legacy systems to the test. In addition to storing data as JT files to support downstream processes, the company wanted to dispose of 2D drawings, while ensuring the new 3D process met all requirements for certification.

“We need a scalable, flexible digital enterprise solution for design and PLM that is able to grow with us and support us in addressing future challenges,” says Mike Baker, director of IT Solutions, EMEA, Jet Aviation. “Siemens offers a deeply integrated portfolio that is open enough to cope with the various data formats and standards used in our industry. We are pleased to partner with Siemens and look forward to working with them and implementing their PLM software solution.”
