Siemens Xcelerator for development of hydrogen compressors

February 2024 IT in Manufacturing

REJOOL, a startup focused on hydrogen compression devices, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator as a service portfolio of industry software to help bring its PIONYR hydrogen compression technology to market. Based in Witzenhausen, Germany, REJOOL designs and manufactures small, oil-less hermetically gas-tight piston compressors for stationary high-pressure hydrogen applications. Its product portfolio encompasses modular and customisable hydrogen compressors tailored for the building sector, research and development facilities, and off-grid applications. REJOOL adopted the Siemens Xcelerator as a service portfolio to help establish a digital twin development process to bring its breakthrough PIONYR series compressors to market, and to set a new standard in the hydrogen industry.

REJOOL’s engineering team adopted Siemens’ NX software for its product engineering and simulation activities, complemented by the Siemens Teamcenter X solution for cloud-based product lifecycle management. REJOOL has also taken advantage of The Teamcenter Share app for collaboration and data sharing with suppliers and customers.

“Implementing a fully digital way of working right from the beginning was of utmost importance. To achieve this, we required robust design software capable of simultaneous simulation and product rendering. Furthermore, effective collaboration, both internally and with external partners, necessitated a system for managing our complex product data from concept to final product,” said Stephan Hillebrand, CTO of REJOOL. “We depended on the Siemens Xcelerator as a service software portfolio throughout our development process. This ensured structured, collaborative work on the 3D product model, constant visualisation of up-to-date product data, and seamless data exchange of design status with our suppliers, all via our secure cloud-based infrastructure. The synergy between Siemens’ NX, Teamcenter X and Teamcenter Share helped us to streamline digital work, making it more efficient than ever before,” he continued.

“The hydrogen industry is key to explore a low-carbon future, and I’m delighted to see pioneers like REJOOL adopting cutting-edge technology from the Siemens Xcelerator to help them design, build and scale to help build that cleaner future for all,” said Klaus Löckel, managing director of Siemens Digital Industries Software. “It’s another great example of pioneers across the full spectrum of industry turning to Siemens Xcelerator. With the Siemens SaaS approach, we’re able to deliver an affordable, production-ready toolset that allows startups to avoid the cost and time associated with traditional implementation. This enables them to focus on what’s important – building their businesses and innovating.”
