Siemens Digital Industries Software, a provider of product lifecycle management services and manufacturing operations management software, and the CERTI Foundation (Reference Center for Innovative Technologies), combine efforts to enhance competitiveness in the indication of technologies and improvements in the customers' manufacturing process. The partnership provides for training and testing of Digital Systems at Labfaber – CERTI's Factory Laboratory.
Labfaber is a real production factory and testing laboratory for technologies in a controlled environment, recently opened by CERTI and FIESC in Florianópolis (SC), where the most modern in the Siemens Digital Industries portfolio is tested. In this context, CERTI carries out a whole research and development work with value chain analyzes that identify which technology is most suitable for each project carried out.
Within the scope of the partnership, Siemens Digital Industries Software tests its tools in increasingly demanding demands, generating feedback for progress, updates, cases of technical and commercial relevance, in addition to an open reference demonstration for its customers, while CERTI works with the possibility of generating more and more market differentials using the most up-to-date and technological tools in the areas of innovative projects for the industry.
"Digitalization is causing transformations in processes and in manufacturing industries, merging the boundaries between the virtual and real world, hardware and software, design and manufacturing. Our partnership with CERTI has made it possible to test Siemens Digital's cutting-edge technology systems. Industries Software at Labfaber, promoting innovation and modernization in medium and large projects and thus quickly meeting consumer preferences and requirements through a complete end-to-end workflow”, explains Paulo Leal da Costa, CEO of Siemens Digital Industries Software.
In addition to software licenses to be tested at Labfaber, the joint action of the companies will allow for anticipating technological market trends and their validation in a real production environment.
“One of the biggest challenges for Brazilian companies is to increase their level of competitiveness, not only regionally but globally. CERTI has been strongly active in the industrial sector, developing projects in the industry 4.0 area with this focus. Siemens as a technological partner will allow CERTI to have access to a set of world-renowned tools for Digital Manufacturing and the joint development of increasingly competitive market solutions”, says Gustavo de Oliveira Andrade, researcher in the area of digitalization and industrial systems at SURE
