Siemens and IBM Collaborate to Accelerate Sustainable Product Development and Operations
西门子和IBM合作加速可持续产品开发和运营

Siemens Digital Industries Software and IBM have announced they are expanding their long-term partnership by collaborating to develop a combined software solution integrating their respective offerings for systems engineering, service lifecycle management and asset management.

西门子数字化工业软件和IBM宣布，他们将通过合作开发一个组合软件解决方案来扩大长期合作伙伴关系，该解决方案集成了各自的系统工程、服务生命周期管理和资产管理产品。

Increasing competitive pressures, tight labor markets and growing environmental compliance objectives require organizations to adopt a more holistic management approach that spans the product and asset lifecycle. The companies will develop a combined software solution to help organizations optimize product lifecycles, and make it easier to improve traceability across processes, prototype and test concepts much earlier in development, and adopt more sustainable product designs. The goal is to help organizations speed innovation and time to market which can lead to improved quality and lowered costs.

日益增加的竞争压力、紧缺的劳动力市场和不断增长的环境合规目标要求组织采用跨越产品和资产生命周期的更全面的管理方法。两家公司将开发一个组合软件解决方案，以帮助组织优化产品生命周期，并更容易地在开发的早期更早地改进跨流程、原型和测试概念的可追溯性，并采用更具可持续性的产品设计。目标是帮助组织加快创新和上市时间，从而提高质量并降低成本。

The new combined SysML v1 standards-based suite of integrated engineering software is expected to support traceability and sustainable product development using a digital thread that links mechanical, electronics, electrical engineering and software design and implementation. It is intended to span the product lifecycle, from early design and manufacturing to operations, maintenance, update and end of life management. Initially, the companies are working to connect IBM Engineering System Design Rhapsody for systems engineering with solutions from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services including Siemens’ Teamcenter software for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Capital software for electrical/electronic (E/E) systems development and software implementation. The companies have also connected the IBM Maximo Application Suite for asset management with Siemens’ Teamcenter software to support an integrated digital thread between service engineering, asset management and services execution. 

新组合的基于SysML v1标准的集成工程软件套件有望使用连接机械、电子、电气工程和软件设计与实施的数字主线支持可追溯性和可持续产品开发。它旨在跨越产品生命周期，从早期设计和制造到运营、维护、更新和生命周期结束管理。最初，两家公司正在努力将用于系统工程的IBM Engineering System Design Rhapsody与西门子Xcelerator软件和服务组合的解决方案连接起来，这些解决方案包括用于产品生命周期管理 (PLM) 的西门子Teamcenter软件和Capital软件用于电气/电子(E/E)系统开发和软件实施。两家公司还将IBM资产管理套件Maximo Application Suite与西门子的Teamcenter软件连接，以支持服务工程、资产管理和服务执行之间的集成数字线程。

These integrations will focus on the effective reuse of processes and materials to allow traceability for sustainable product development. This can help companies to make informed decisions earlier in the design and engineering process to help drive improvements in cost, performance and sustainability. For example, companies can more quickly identify under-performing components or design elements that consume excessive amounts of power, or require maintenance or early replacement, and product innovation can be driven through an integrated digital thread that connects the physical and software assets back into product development. 
 
这些集成将侧重于流程和材料的有效再利用，以实现可持续产品开发的可追溯性。这可以帮助企业在设计和工程过程的早期做出明智的决策，以帮助推动成本、性能和可持续性的改进。例如，企业可以更快地识别性能不佳的组件或设计元素，这些组件或设计元素消耗过多的电力，或者需要维护或提前更换，并且可以通过将物理和软件资产连接回产品的集成数字主线来推动产品创新发展。 

Siemens and IBM are also collaborating to create a SysML v2 based solution with a migration path to help customers transition to next generation systems engineering. SysML supports the specification, analysis, design, verification and validation of a broad range of systems and systems-of-systems. Service lifecycle management can assist in maximizing business value for product servitization by connecting service engineering to service maintenance to facilitate new collaborative processes between OEM and operators.
 
西门子和IBM还合作创建基于SysML v2的解决方案，该解决方案具有迁移路径，可帮助客户过渡到下一代系统工程。SysML支持范围广泛的系统和系统系统的规范、分析、设计、验证和确认。服务生命周期管理可以通过将服务工程与服务维护联系起来促进OEM和运营商之间的新协作流程，从而帮助扩大产品服务化的商业价值。

Siemens will be supported by benefits through IBM's newly launched Partner Plus program and will offer the solution as part of the Siemens Xcelerator ecosystem.

西门子将通过IBM新推出的Partner Plus计划获得收益支持，并将提供作为西门子Xcelerator生态系统一部分的解决方案。
