Siemens announced today that VinFast, Vietnam¡¯s first volume car manufacturer, has selected a suite of tools from Siemens PLM Software to help realize their plans for next-generation automotive and transportation design. Siemens is providing a digitalization solution across the entire automotive OEM value chain, which can help enable VinFast to meet the company¡¯s goals of creating the first Vietnam-made automobile and eScooter brand, and promote the development of the industrial and manufacturing sector in Vietnam.
VinFast plans to take advantage of a connected digital twin across both design and manufacturing. VinFast plans to use an integrated digital platform including the Teamcenter® portfolio for digital lifecycle management, including the Teamcenter solution for product costing to support cost and value engineering, and the Tecnomatix® portfolio, the industry-leading digital manufacturing software, combined with SIMATIC IT UA for Discrete Manufacturing covering the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) layer. Teamcenter connects the digital twin with a consistent digital thread, which can help VinFast increase speed and flexibility in development, optimize manufacturing processes and use the insights gained from product and plant operations to improve future performance.
¡°Using the combined power of both product lifecycle management and manufacturing operations management technology is a key part of our digitalization journey,¡± said Jason Buxton, chief information officer at VinFast. ¡°To drive innovation within the automotive industry, it is essential to have the right technology in place. We feel that Siemens¡¯ best-in-class solutions can empower automakers and the vehicle electrification supply chain to reduce development time and deliver high-quality solutions, with the ability to adapt to changes easily at every stage of the process.¡±
VinFast recently announced to the market that the company is also launching the first Vietnamese electric car. Using a connected PLM and MES digital enterprise solution will prove to be critical to achieving this goal. By creating a digital enterprise, VinFast can take advantage of new and disruptive technology across each phase of their operation to reduce cycle time, increase yield and foster new business opportunities.
¡°Siemens PLM Software is proud to form this excellent partnership with VinFast in the first national car project in Vietnam to help VinFast accelerate its innovation cycle,¡± said Alex Teo, managing director and vice president of Siemens Industry Software for South East Asia. ¡°The vast portfolio of Siemens solutions that VinFast plans to deploy is a demonstration of the trust our customers place in our proven capabilities in taking products from the digital world to the real world.¡±
