Siemens is driving the future of industry.
In the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, car
and machine tool industries, intensive global competition,
increasing product variety and new technologies have radically
shortened innovation cycles for products of all kinds. Industry
software can markedly reduce development times and slash
costs. To virtually develop, test and optimize their products,
companies worldwide are relying on product lifecycle manage-
ment (PLM) software from Siemens.
Industry software makes it possible to completely simulate
and optimize production by developing whole factories and
individual machines on screen. This approach saves time,
conserves resources and cuts energy costs while increasing
plant profitability. The key to success lies in the integration
of our PLM software into our automation systems, which cuts
time-to-market by up to % while enhancing quality.
