20XX-XX-XXLet me ask you to make a simple guess. Whats in this number?

[Pause for 2 seconds]

Notes 2

Whats In the Number?

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXOn average, a single car has about 30,000 parts, including every part down to the smallest bolt. Typically 70-90% of the automotive parts are manufactured by suppliers. The percentage depends on the OEMs and model segment.

The automotive supply chain that is made of smaller and larger companies is the backbone of auto manufacturing.

Today, there are thousands of suppliers worldwide, each with the knowledge, technical expertise, and scale to produce certain components and contribute to the making of a vehicle. Notes 3

Whats In the Number?

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXFor example, auto part makers can manufacture engine and powertrain components, molds to make the plastic components, stamping dies for body parts and many more components.

Increasingly, we find that the automotive parts are made of different materials and require sophisticated manufacturing processes to produce them.

Today, we will look at a range of advanced digital part manufacturing solutions that can help improve your productivity.Notes 4

Cost Pressure

86% of auto suppliers report intense cost pressures from the OEMs4-6 % Planned annual spending cuts by OEMs

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXFirst, lets take a quick look at some of the challenges facing the automotive industry and how it may affect your manufacturing priorities.

As an auto supplier, you are probably facing increasing cost-pressures from the OEMs and upstream suppliers.

Automakers are on average planning to reduce spending by 4-6% annually.

In a recent BCG report, an overwhelming majority of respondents86 percent of the supplierssaid that they are under increased cost pressure from their automotive customers.

While larger Tier 1 suppliers have managed to deal with both the push to globalize production and cost pressures for some time.

Research has found that smaller suppliers are less adept at navigating the constraints.

We all know the nature of the supply business entails that there will be constant cost pressures.

The question is how to deal with it?

Compressed Development Time

Suppliers haveto respond to OEM requirements faster than ever before

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXWe all are familiar with this trend

Vehicle development time is shrinking constantly. A typical vehicle program that used to take 9 years just a decade ago now takes around 4 years.

And, the trend to shrink program time will continue. As per a recent report from Volvo, they want to reduce the vehicle program time to 20 months by 2020.

Therefore, the pressure is on the suppliers to respond to OEMs design requirements faster while showing the ability to meet the production targets.

Notes 6

Focus on Quality

Auto suppliers are held accountable for missing quality targets

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXAutomotive quality is a big issue nowadays and we frequently hear about it in the news media.

2014 marked a record year for automotive recalls. Around 800 recalls totaling close to 64 million vehicles were recalled.

Therefore, quality is an important concern among the auto executives.

One of the reasons for higher recalls in automotive in recent years is due to the standardization of components across multiple models. This result in significantly greater volume of cars affected because of a faulty part. Standardization of parts requires that quality and safety standards are maintained and sustained worldwide. Recalls can assume global proportions.

Nowadays, smaller suppliers are increasingly vulnerable. Many of the downstream suppliers may not able to bear the financial burden of a large scale recall.

Therefore, having a clear visibility to various quality parameters of a product is paramount. Notes 7

Part Manufacturing

Manufacturing engineeringShop floor production

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXTo address these trends we have seen so far cost-pressures, compressed program time and quality requirements automotive suppliers need a highly-efficient manufacturing process.

In simple terms, the part manufacturing process starts with a digital 3D model of the part that needs to be manufactured.

This part model is used as input for the manufacturing engineering. By using digital manufacturing software you can create a copy (or a digital twin) of the complete machining process, including the machined part, fixtures, even the entire machine tool. The digital twin helps you define, test and validate the best machining process well before the production starts.

Detailed work instructions and shop documentation are then transferred to the shop floor.

The production team can use the complete work package to ramp up production and drive the equipment on the shop floor.

This presentation will mostly focus on part (or component) manufacturing and ways on how to digitalize the process. Notes 8

Automotive Supplier Opportunities

Standardize processes Produce high quality partsIncrease throughput Be more competitiveAccelerate job delivery Overcome inefficient processes

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXThere are significant opportunities for auto suppliers to streamline and optimize their part manufacturing processes.

First, inefficient or partially automated steps in your work processes can adversely affect your productivity. For example, when manufacturers try to fit disparate software applications, it can result in a process that requires multiple data conversion. And this leads to inefficiencies.

Second, to be competitive in todays environment, manufacturers need to increase their throughput. If your CAM software doesnt provide a complete set of CNC programming capabilities, or when it lacks application-specific functionality, it can reduce both your programming and machining efficiency.

Finally, a standardized manufacturing process ensures consistent production quality.

Notes 9

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXTo be competitive in todays challenging environment, automotive suppliers are asking the following questions:

How do you accelerate job delivery? You can synchronize the entire manufacturing process by leveraging a single model from design to manufacturing. How do you increase your throughput? You need to be able efficiently tackle any job, regardless of its complexity. How do you standardize manufacturing processes to produce high quality parts? By streamlining the information flow across your operation, you can improve your productivity.

Lets look at how Siemens can help you address these challenges Notes 10

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXTo collaborate effectively with OEMs and other automotive suppliers, NX lets you work with any CAD data. This gives you the necessary flexibility to use part models designed in any CAD system.

Often, the 3D CAD model needs to be prepared for optimized machining. Using the powerful CAD capabilities in NX, you can cap holes, close narrow slots and edit the fillets. Also, using NX CAD you can quickly implement the latest design changes while keeping associativity. The digital part model moves seamlessly between applications without data translation, all in a single product.

Next, we will take a closer look at how our model driven process can enable concurrent workflow Notes 12

Model-Driven Process

Part model

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXFor that, lets look at a typical mold manufacturing example. Many of the automotive suppliers manufacture injection molds that are used to produce a wide range of plastic parts in a vehicle, such as this radiator fan shroud.

It all starts with the 3D part model that needs to be molded.

Now lets see how this part model can drive the entire manufacturing process to machine the entire mold assembly

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XX

Using the automated NX mold design capabilities, you can design the core and cavity, along with all the other mold components. The mold design is the input to the manufacturing process.

The upper half of the diagram describes the process to define the process to machine the mold. Using the CAD design tools, you can quickly prepare the mold for machining and design the fixtures. The next step is to define the machining for the mold by using the CNC programming capabilities in NX CAM. It lets you achieve high-speed machining and high quality machined surface.

A complete set of shop documentation can be easily generated. You can transfer CNC programs, tool lists, setup sheets, and drawings, directly to the machine tools on the shop floor.

At the same time while you were defining the manufacturing process for the mold, your team can work on the electrode machining, using the same unified NX system, and working on the same data (as shown in the lower half of the diagram) they can design, prepare and program electrodes that are part of the mold assembly. Besides CNC programs, NX lets you create inspection paths to drive CMM machines. The output of the electrode programming step including CNC and inspection programs is transferred to the production to drive the manufacturing equipment.

The model driven process ensures:Associativity to the supplied design data,Concurrent workflow, and Accuracy and reliability

Many mold manufacturers around the world leverage the NX integrated platform to maximize their overall productivity

20XX-XX-XXNext, well look at how you can maximize the machining productivity by using advanced CAM system.Notes 16

Maximize Efficiency of Machining

Intelligent tool paths For efficient machining Process automation For programming productivity

Knowledge based machining For reuse of proven methods

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXTo increase the manufacturing efficiency, you need advanced CAM capabilities.

The intelligent tool paths ensure efficient machining and increased machine tool performance. For example, NX CAM lets you automatically tilt the tool, so you can use the right tool to reach challenging areas and improve the surface finish.

Advanced feature-based machining automates the NC programming. NX automatically identifies machining features and applies operations. This capability is ideal for programming parts with many features, such as pockets, slots and complex holes. With feature-based machining, you can reduce programming time by as much as 90%.

With NX, you dont need to start every job from scratch. Machining data library and process templates enable you to re-use proven data and processes. This knowledge-driven programming can improve your productivity and ensures repeatability. Notes 17

Superior surface finishCreate smooth toolpaths to produce high quality parts.

Full control of machiningPrecisely control cutting strategies to reduce risk.

Flexible machining with 5-axis operationsMachine complete parts in one setup.

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXLets take a deeper look into our advanced capabilities for NC programming.

High speed machining for hard materials can significantly reduce machining cycles. The high-speed roughing in NX CAM maintains high metal removal rates while managing tool loads.

Superior surface finish can be critical for mold-makers. The smooth flowing cutting strategies that follow the shape of the mold geometry can result in fine finishes at high feed rates.

Having a full control of the machining process enables manufacturers to reduce risk and improve quality. The Cut Region Control provides a new level of control and ease of use in planning machining strategies for complex molds. You can preview, change, and re-order the regions and the associated operations before generating tool paths.

To increase the throughput, machine shops increasingly use multi-axis machining, including 5-axis machining. It lets manufacturers minimize the number of setups, which results in shorter lead times, increased tool life and improved surface finish. Notes 18

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XX3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a transformative technology that build parts by adding material, rather than subtracting like the conventional machining.

Its been rapidly adopted by many industries, because it frees manufacturers from the limitations of conventional machining. Additive manufacturing enables production of parts that you couldnt do before. Increased use of new materials, including various metals only accelerates the adoption of this technology. For some parts, such as castings you can reduce the production cycle from several months to a couple of weeks.

The performance improvements of the manufacture parts can be as significant. For example, a cylinder head produced using additive manufacturing can be 2 times lighter and can have 10 times larger cooling surface.

Also, automakers use additive manufacturing for functional prototypes.

To address some of the limitation of the additive manufacturing, such as the rough surface finish and multiple setups/machines needed to machine a part, a new technology has been recently introduced

Notes 23

LOGOEXUnrestricted Siemens AG 2016Page #Author / Department

20XX-XX-XXVery often, manufacturers try to achieve production targets by relying on a disconnected workflow with bits of valuable information and knowhow residing across the company. This disconnect can be particularly obvious when connecting engineering and production. The flow of manufacturing information between the people and technology can be disrupted and it can involve paper trail and manual processes.

We will now look at how the manufacturing information can be organized in a single source of data. And how you can efficiently transfer this data to the shop floor.

So lets explore how our scalable solution can help you digitalize the part manufacturing process.

Notes 26

Single Source of Data
