Siemens and IBM Collaborate to Accelerate Sustainable Product Development and Operations
西門子和IBM合作加速可持續(xù)產(chǎn)品開發(fā)和運(yùn)營(yíng)

Siemens Digital Industries Software and IBM have announced they are expanding their long-term partnership by collaborating to develop a combined software solution integrating their respective offerings for systems engineering, service lifecycle management and asset management.

西門子數(shù)字化工業(yè)軟件和IBM宣布，他們將通過(guò)合作開發(fā)一個(gè)組合軟件解決方案來(lái)擴(kuò)大長(zhǎng)期合作伙伴關(guān)系，該解決方案集成了各自的系統(tǒng)工程、服務(wù)生命周期管理和資產(chǎn)管理產(chǎn)品。

Increasing competitive pressures, tight labor markets and growing environmental compliance objectives require organizations to adopt a more holistic management approach that spans the product and asset lifecycle. The companies will develop a combined software solution to help organizations optimize product lifecycles, and make it easier to improve traceability across processes, prototype and test concepts much earlier in development, and adopt more sustainable product designs. The goal is to help organizations speed innovation and time to market which can lead to improved quality and lowered costs.

日益增加的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)壓力、緊缺的勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)和不斷增長(zhǎng)的環(huán)境合規(guī)目標(biāo)要求組織采用跨越產(chǎn)品和資產(chǎn)生命周期的更全面的管理方法。兩家公司將開發(fā)一個(gè)組合軟件解決方案，以幫助組織優(yōu)化產(chǎn)品生命周期，并更容易地在開發(fā)的早期更早地改進(jìn)跨流程、原型和測(cè)試概念的可追溯性，并采用更具可持續(xù)性的產(chǎn)品設(shè)計(jì)。目標(biāo)是幫助組織加快創(chuàng)新和上市時(shí)間，從而提高質(zhì)量并降低成本。

The new combined SysML v1 standards-based suite of integrated engineering software is expected to support traceability and sustainable product development using a digital thread that links mechanical, electronics, electrical engineering and software design and implementation. It is intended to span the product lifecycle, from early design and manufacturing to operations, maintenance, update and end of life management. Initially, the companies are working to connect IBM Engineering System Design Rhapsody for systems engineering with solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services including Siemens’ Teamcenter software for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Capital software for electrical/electronic (E/E) systems development and software implementation. The companies have also connected the IBM Maximo Application Suite for asset management with Siemens’ Teamcenter software to support an integrated digital thread between service engineering, asset management and services execution.

新組合的基于SysML v1標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的集成工程軟件套件有望使用連接機(jī)械、電子、電氣工程和軟件設(shè)計(jì)與實(shí)施的數(shù)字主線支持可追溯性和可持續(xù)產(chǎn)品開發(fā)。它旨在跨越產(chǎn)品生命周期，從早期設(shè)計(jì)和制造到運(yùn)營(yíng)、維護(hù)、更新和生命周期結(jié)束管理。最初，兩家公司正在努力將用于系統(tǒng)工程的IBM Engineering System Design Rhapsody與西門子Xcelerator軟件和服務(wù)組合的解決方案連接起來(lái)，這些解決方案包括用于產(chǎn)品生命周期管理 (PLM) 的西門子Teamcenter軟件和Capital軟件用于電氣/電子(E/E)系統(tǒng)開發(fā)和軟件實(shí)施。兩家公司還將IBM資產(chǎn)管理套件Maximo Application Suite與西門子的Teamcenter軟件連接，以支持服務(wù)工程、資產(chǎn)管理和服務(wù)執(zhí)行之間的集成數(shù)字線程。

These integrations will focus on the effective reuse of processes and materials to allow traceability for sustainable product development. This can help companies to make informed decisions earlier in the design and engineering process to help drive improvements in cost, performance and sustainability. For example, companies can more quickly identify under-performing components or design elements that consume excessive amounts of power, or require maintenance or early replacement, and product innovation can be driven through an integrated digital thread that connects the physical and software assets back into product development.
 
這些集成將側(cè)重于流程和材料的有效再利用，以實(shí)現(xiàn)可持續(xù)產(chǎn)品開發(fā)的可追溯性。這可以幫助企業(yè)在設(shè)計(jì)和工程過(guò)程的早期做出明智的決策，以幫助推動(dòng)成本、性能和可持續(xù)性的改進(jìn)。例如，企業(yè)可以更快地識(shí)別性能不佳的組件或設(shè)計(jì)元素，這些組件或設(shè)計(jì)元素消耗過(guò)多的電力，或者需要維護(hù)或提前更換，并且可以通過(guò)將物理和軟件資產(chǎn)連接回產(chǎn)品的集成數(shù)字主線來(lái)推動(dòng)產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新發(fā)展。

Siemens and IBM are also collaborating to create a SysML v2 based solution with a migration path to help customers transition to next generation systems engineering. SysML supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. Service lifecycle management can assist in maximizing business value for product servitization by connecting service engineering to service maintenance to facilitate new collaborative processes between OEM and operators.
 
西門子和IBM還合作創(chuàng)建基于SysML v2的解決方案，該解決方案具有遷移路徑，可幫助客戶過(guò)渡到下一代系統(tǒng)工程。SysML支持范圍廣泛的系統(tǒng)和系統(tǒng)系統(tǒng)的規(guī)范、分析、設(shè)計(jì)、驗(yàn)證和確認(rèn)。服務(wù)生命周期管理可以通過(guò)將服務(wù)工程與服務(wù)維護(hù)聯(lián)系起來(lái)促進(jìn)OEM和運(yùn)營(yíng)商之間的新協(xié)作流程，從而幫助擴(kuò)大產(chǎn)品服務(wù)化的商業(yè)價(jià)值。

Siemens will be supported by benefits through IBM's newly launched Partner Plus program and will offer the solution as part of the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem.

西門子將通過(guò)IBM新推出的Partner Plus計(jì)劃獲得收益支持，并將提供作為西門子Xcelerator生態(tài)系統(tǒng)一部分的解決方案。
