Siemens helps Krone establish digitalization strategy
西門子幫助Krone公司實施數字化戰略

Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced that Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG, an agricultural machinery company based in Germany, has selected the Siemens Digital Innovation Platform to help establish its digitalization strategy. Using solutions including the Teamcenter portfolio and NX software, Krone will launch a digitalization program that will support processes over the entire product lifecycle as well as collaborative work between departments by leveraging the broad, integrated solutions that are part of the Siemens Digital Innovation Platform.

西門子數字工業軟件公司宣布，德國農業機械公司Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone公司選擇了西門子數字創新平臺來幫助建立其數字化戰略。使用包括Teamcenter產品組合和NX軟件在內的解決方案，Krone將推出一個數字化計劃，通過利用西門子數字創新平臺中廣泛的集成解決方案，支持整個產品生命周期的流程以及各部門之間的協作。

“Establishing a PDM/PLM solution at Krone creates an important backbone for our overall digitalization strategy,” said Dr. Goy-Hinrich Korn, CIO at Krone. “We have a vision and plan to enable the digitalization of our company but without a solid base, these would not be sufficiently supported. We are confident that working with Siemens’ software will help solve both our existing issues as well as meet our new requirements.”                                                                         

Krone首席信息官Goy-Hinrich Korn博士說：“在Krone建立PDM/PLM解決方案為我們的整體數字化戰略建立了重要的支柱。我們有實現公司數字化的愿景和計劃，但如果沒有堅實的基礎，這些將無法得到充分支持。我們相信，使用西門子的軟件將有助于解決我們現有的問題以及滿足我們的新要求。”

The Krone product portfolio ranges from simple agricultural machines, such as small mowers, to complex field choppers for interplant use.

Krone公司的產品包括簡單的農業機械，如小型割草機，以及用于植物間使用的復雜田間切碎機。

Krone has a multi-phase roll out planned to implement the software, beginning with a focus on CAD data migration including 150 seats of NX. Later phases of the implementation will shift the focus to product lifecycle management (PLM) software including 400 seats of Teamcenter. This initial install base will form the foundation for the strategy and allow room to build upon in the future, including various areas of expansion and interest such as quality management systems (QMS), IoT, simulation and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) solutions.

Krone計劃分多個階段實施該軟件，首先關注CAD數據遷移，包括150套NX。實施的后期階段將把重點轉移到產品生命周期管理(PLM)軟件上，包括400套Teamcenter。這一初始安裝基礎將構成該戰略的基礎，并為未來的發展提供空間，包括各種擴展和興趣領域，如質量管理系統（QMS）、物聯網、模擬和計算機輔助制造（CAM）解決方案。
