Electric two-wheeler manufacturer Simple Energy announced it has expanded its adoption of Siemens’ cloud-based software solutions. This move supports advanced product engineering and digital transformation to scale the company’s EV portfolio. The e-mobility company intends to develop sophisticated EV variants, complex assembly and variant designs, and drive faster turnaround time.
Simple Energy expanded its Teamcenter X adoption and replaced its legacy 3D CAD solution with Designcenter X to address complex vehicle development challenges. As part of its expansion plans, it will use an expanded set of solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Teamcenter X software for product lifecycle management (PLM) and Designcenter X software for advanced vehicle engineering.
The company also plans to leverage Teamcenter X advanced product configurator capabilities to manage complex vehicle variants and enterprise level bills of materials (BOMs). This integrated digital environment enables Simple Energy to improve collaboration across engineering teams while maintaining flexibility and cost efficiency.
Why the Siemens Teamcenter X
To address increasing design and assembly complexity, Simple Energy extended its engineering environment and replaced its legacy 3D CAD capabilities with Siemens’ Designcenter X, which integrates seamlessly with Teamcenter X. The extension supports advanced surface design, large assembly performance and 3D electrical routing and harness, helping engineering teams work more efficiently as product complexity increases. Siemens’ value-based licensing model also enables Simple Energy to scale its software usage in line with business growth.
Simple Energy initially adopted Teamcenter X to establish a centralized product data management backbone and improve collaboration across engineering functions. As its electric vehicle programs matured, the company expanded its use of Siemens’ software to support enterprise BOM management and variant configuration, including a ‘150 percent BOM approach.’ By providing a master, configurable BOM that includes all possible components, options and variants for a product family, Teamcenter X helps Simple Energy configure specific 100 percent BOMs for individual customer orders, enabling efficient management of multiple vehicle variants.
