Tatra Trucks, a leading truck manufacturer in Czechia, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software including Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management (PLM) and the Mendix low code platform to help increase production volume and strengthen its ability to manufacture vehicles that meet specific customer requirements. To achieve these goals, Tatra Trucks is digitalising to intensively modernise and optimise production processes to meet the company’s ambitious plans for growth.
“The implementation of Siemens’ Teamcenter software represents a major technological shift for Tatra Trucks and will provide the company with a significant competitive advantage on the global market. Digitalisation will enable us to respond more efficiently to the specific requirements of each customer and faster order processing. We anticipate more flexible development, faster technological preparation of production and more timely deliveries of the required quality,” said Jakub Pončík, technical director for Tatra Trucks.
The use of Teamcenter will enable Tatra Trucks to achieve process synchronisation and effective data management, from business communication and development through vehicle production to spare parts catalogues or warranty and post-warranty service. This willl be achieved by bringing together Tatra’s PLM system for product development and management with its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system for economics and production.
These systems will become key pillars of digitalisation enabling the company to unify previously fragmented systems, simplify processes and enable faster and more efficient collaboration between departments. The implementation also includes Siemens’ Mendix low-code platform which allows for the quick creation of applications to reach data from information systems such as ERP and customer relationship management (CRM) and connect it to the Teamcenter digital thread backbone.
“The decision to implement solutions from Siemens Xcelerator at Tatra Trucks demonstrates its key role in optimising the company’s digital processes. Teamcenter enables the effective use of digital twins and artificial intelligence to innovate products and manufacturing processes, helping to ensure long-term competitiveness. We are glad that Tatra Trucks has chosen our solution and we look forward to our journey together,” said René Zahradník, managing director for the Czech Republic at Siemens Digital Industries Software.
This state-of-the-art software solution integrates all key PLM processes into a single database. Teamcenter manages all customer requirements, which will be managed in real time through program and project management, including process quality across the entire company. All changes and requests will be recorded and managed within Teamcenter change management. The PLM system enables the creation and management of complete bills of materials and helps Tatra Trucks to develop innovative products more efficiently, improve information sharing between production, service and maintenance, and achieve their sustainability goals of carbon footprint reduction while meeting regulatory requirements.
