Siemens Digital Industries Software has confirmed that its Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software is now being used by
Sedemac — founded at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and with world-class development and manufacturing facilities in Pune, India — to accelerate the development of its motor control units and engine control units.
The motor control units are used in electric vehicles (EVs), hybrids, eBikes, and power tools that use Sedemac’s ‘world-first sensor-less control (SLC) technology’, while the engine control units are used for off-road and on-road engines.
Sedemac says its SLC products are now used in millions of vehicles and other electric as well as ICE equipment worldwide, adding that it has adopted Siemens’ Polarion X software to ensure traceability between requirements and test cases, centralisation of test reports, version and revision management, management of lessons learnt, standardisation of design actions, and reporting across its research and development teams.
The company has also adopted Siemens’ Teamcenter X software for product lifecycle management (PLM), to complement Polarion’s application lifecycle management (ALM) tool, so that together they enable speedy development to be achieved with quality.
Harsh Vinjamoor, Sedemac’s chief engineer, (systems engineering), said: “Polarion’s flexible approach has allowed us to craft workflows that help implement our processes in a convenient and yet exhaustive manner. With advanced reporting tools our quality team can stay on top of multiple projects simultaneously and keep management abreast of risks, if any. The autonomy of being able to modify workflows allows continual process improvement to be deployed with ease, in-house.”
Mathew Thomas, Siemens Digital Industries Software’s managing director and vice president for India, added: “It is indispensable to have a comprehensive digital platform strategy for product manufacturers developing best-in class solutions for emerging electric vehicle ecosystem.
“We are thrilled to partner with Sedemac in its journey and empowering the company with Siemens’ digital twin offerings based on the Siemens Xcelerator platform, which offers interoperability and flexibility to integrate with Sedemac’s existing digital technologies, thus creating an optimised digital thread that enables the company to efficiently focus on product development, R&D and engineering.”
