Zollner Elektronik AG Standardizes on Siemens PLM Software's Tecnomatix Digital Manufacturing Solution

By DE Editors

Siemens PLM Software has announced that Zollner Elektronik AG, a Zandt, Bavaria, based provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), is standardizing on Tecnomatix software as its digital manufacturing and factory automation solution. Zollner’s decision to expand the use of Tecnomatix was based on tests over the last 15 months with completed planning projects that were successful.

As an EMS provider, Zollner uses its production lines to manufacture components, modules, devices or complete systems to order. Zollner serves a range of industries, including industrial electronics, automotive, office electronics and data technology.

Zollner initially began using Tecnomatix, Siemens PLM Software’s suite of digital manufacturing solutions, in 2009, and since then has deployed the software in several process engineering projects. As part of this expansion, the company now plans to roll out Tecnomatix as its enterprise-wide standard factory planning system.

“Tecnomatix not only ensures that our production processes run more efficiently, but also allows us to use one software platform from the customer’s idea to SoP (Start of Production) and during the run-out. As a result, a knowledge-database and platform evolves across the company, which makes it possible to offer the best solution according to the customer’s demand. We also derive benefits in communications with existing and potential customers,” says Alois Mahr, team lead process planning at Zollner. “The precise information we are able to obtain with the digital factory in advance adds transparency to our offers and decisions and makes them assessable. What’s more, simulation of entire production processes in 3D goes a long way in convincing new customers of our capability and expertise and is absolutely practical for training our staff.”
