India-based Sedemac has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software to help Sedemac innovate and accelerate product development while not compromising on quality within its R&D, engineering and manufacturing teams.
The software is used in the development of its motor control units and engine control units. The motor control units are used in electric vehicles, hybrids, eBikes and power tools which use Sedemac’s sensor less control (SLC) technology while the engine control units are used for off-road and on-road engines.
Founded at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Sedemac has development and manufacturing facilities in Pune, India. Its SLC products are now used in millions of vehicles and other electric as well as internal combustion engine equipment worldwide.
Sedemac 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, standardization of design actions and reporting across its research and development teams.
Sedemac has also adopted Siemens’ Teamcenter X software for Product Lifecycle Management to complement its Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool, Polarion, so that together they enable speedy development to be achieved with quality. The digital innovation backbone created with Teamcenter X enables seamless collaboration across diverse teams, streamlines manufacturing Bill of Materials (mBOM) management and significantly boosts engineer efficiency and productivity.
“With advanced reporting tools our quality team is able to stay on top of multiple projects simultaneously and keep management abreast of risks if any,” said Harsh Vinjamoor, chief engineer of systems engineering at Sedemac. “The autonomy of being able to modify workflows allows continual process improvement to be deployed with ease, in-house.”
Mathew Thomas, managing director and vice president for India at Siemens Digital Industries Software, said their solutions offer inter-operability and flexibility to integrate with Sedemac’s existing digital technologies, thus creating an optimised digital thread enabling Sedemac to efficiently focus on product development, R&D and engineering.
