channel partner of Siemens PLM Software in the UK, has announced that
it has signed a contract with Lincoln-based Napier Turbochargers Ltd
for the supply, implementation and on-going support of a product
design and lifecycle management (PLM) solution based on Siemens PLM
Software's NX™ and Teamcenter(R) software suites. The contract is
valued at around $1 million.
As a result, Napier's future large axial turbocharger product design
and engineering requirements will be undertaken using multiple
licenses of NX 3D solid modeling software, including advanced sheet
metal design capabilities, while NX advanced finite element modeling
(FEM) software will provide pre- and post-processing of 3D CAD models
for engineering analysis, with interfaces to third-party solvers
Ansys(R) and Abaqus. A number of licenses of Siemens PLM Software's
Solid Edge(R) Drafting software will also be provided as a replacement
for existing seats of a well known 2D drafting system.
In addition to the design software, NX computer-aided manufacturing
(CAM) software for turning and for mill-turn and multi-axis milling
will provide Napier's production floor with advanced digital
manufacturing facilities that are fully integrated with the design
engineering environment.
Data management, including change management and shop floor product
data viewing facilities, will be provided through Siemens PLM
Software's Teamcenter Express software suite while a number of
licenses of the Teamcenter visualization application will provide
digital mock-up (DMU) and advanced design visualization facilities.
Teamcenter will also provide Napier with the ability to use legacy
design information from other CAD software products.
Ambitious plans
"The PLM solution that Majenta PLM is supplying and is helping us to
implement will help to ensure that the right product information is at
the right place at the right time", said Andy Thacker, managing
director, Napier Turbochargers Limited. "It is therefore crucial to
the continued development of our range of products and to the success
of the ambitious growth plans we have in each of our markets, where we
are already recognized as a leading supplier."
"Napier is renowned as an innovative company with an excellent suite
of products delivering high technical performance," he added. "I am
pleased that the business has been acquired by a shareholder that is
committed to investing further in R&D to maintain its technology and
in the expansion of the business to meet customer demand".
Trevor Stapleton, sales director, Majenta PLM, stated, "The Napier
heritage includes such world-famous achievements as a series of land
speed, air speed and water speed world records in the late 1920s and
early 1930's that culminated in the land speed record of 394.196 mph
set in 1947. We are therefore delighted to be selected by the
modern-day descendent, Napier Turbochargers Ltd, to provide and
support the technology that will help the company build on its
heritage and on its much more recent successes".
Guy Langley, UK managing director, Siemens PLM Software, commented,
"When Majenta PLM was formed as a Siemens PLM Software business
partner two years ago its stated aim was to become the No. 1 PLM
software and services provider to the UK mid-market. We congratulate
them on this sale and on the successful conclusion of their
negotiations with Napier Turbochargers."
The first phase of the PLM system implementation schedule was
completed at the end of August, with additional user training and
on-going technical support following on from that.
