Cobra Automotive Technologies has selected Teamcenter, Siemens PLM Software’s digital lifecycle management solution that uses Microsoft’s familiar user interface, to enhance product development and engineering processes.

PLM is more than a tool, it is a powerful technology that impacts the entire organisation

Graziano Mangiarotti, Cobra Automotive Technologies,  Cobra, based in Varese, Italy, with operations around the world, will implement more than 100 seats of Teamcenter to improve the company’s product and process data management structure and help reduce time-to-market, development costs and total cost of ownership.

“PLM is more than a tool, it is a powerful technology that impacts the entire organisation and we expect it to help Cobra strengthen our standardisation initiatives which will allow us to accelerate our development activities, implement a continuous improvement process and significantly reduce non-compliances,” said Graziano Mangiarotti, technical operation director at Cobra Automotive Technologies.

Cobra’s search for a PLM solution was driven by the company’s global market expansion plan. Based on this plan, Cobra needed to introduce an information system to support product development and engineering processes, provide immediate and secure access to product information, align product release processes for data and related multi-format documentation, and consolidate archives and applications targeted at increasing management flexibility.

“With Teamcenter as our single, user-friendly PLM interface, we will be able to access all product data and stay up-to-date throughout the development process. We will also have an effective classification template for managing product libraries, and satisfy future requirements thanks to the flexibility of Teamcenter,” Mangiarotti concluded.

“Siemens PLM Software is proud that an innovative company like Cobra has selected Teamcenter for its PLM needs,” said Franco Megali, vice president and managing director of Siemens PLM Software Italy.

“Teamcenter software’s ability to integrate and provide a consistent solution across the enterprise, combined with its capability to support future growth, will enable Cobra to continue to achieve its objectives.”
