Voltran WEG Selects Siemens Solid Edge, Teamcenter

Voltran WEG was created as a result of a 2006 joint venture between Voltran, a Mexican company servicing the power industry since 1980 and WEG, a Brazilian supplier in the same sector. The joint venture has resulted in a significant increase in manufacturing capabilities at the Voltran WEG plant in Tizayuca, Mexico. With combined manufacturing and management resources, Voltran WEG has expanded its reach to service clients from all over the world.

With the emergence of these new business opportunities, the engineering department needed to revamp its operation process and adopt tools to enhance collaboration, expedite processes and enable an overall more efficient system in order to respond faster to new product orders.

“After our company leaders and end-users conducted an in-depth evaluation of technical offering, business value and IT support available, we were convinced that Siemens PLM Software was by far the best available option in the market,” said Roberto Alonso, chief of the Engineering Department, Voltran WEG.

Solid Edge offers Voltran WEG users a three-dimensional capacity to develop models and design digital prototypes integrated with the administration of the design, allowing for the sharing of application processes and workshop plans for production. It also offers precision when correcting the dimensions of preliminary designs and to verify pieces do not overlap prior to moving to production during the virtual assembly process.

By using Teamcenter as a single source of knowledge, Voltran WEG can now save time in design reviews and gather and share the necessary information, including all 3D models, in a simpler and faster process. This allows the engineers to do less paperwork and more creative design work.

"Siemens PLM Software develops solutions that enable companies to connect their processes into a cohesive system that enhances efficiency and improves management visibility throughout the product lifecycle. Voltran WEG’s decision to acquire our products exemplifies how great solutions backed by an excellent team make the difference in this industry," said Alfredo Treviño, vice president of Operations for Mesoamerica of Siemens PLM Software.
