Indian electric two-wheeler manufacturer Simple Energy has expanded its adoption of Siemens Digital Industries‘ cloud-based software solutions to support advanced product engineering and digital transformation as the company scales its EV portfolio.
Simple Energy has expanded its use of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio with Teamcenter X for product lifecycle management and Designcenter X for vehicle engineering. The company is also using Teamcenter X’s product configurator to manage vehicle variants and bills of materials, supporting collaboration across engineering teams while improving development efficiency.
“As our products scale in complexity, we’re strengthening the systems behind how we build them,” said Kiran Poojary, chief technology officer at Simple Energy. “With Teamcenter X and Designcenter X, we’re able to manage complex variants and large assemblies with greater speed and control – enabling us to accelerate development without compromising agility.”
“Simple Energy’s expansion of its Siemens’ software footprint demonstrates how customers can scale their digital foundation as product complexity increases,” said Mathew Thomas, vice president and managing director for India, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Through close collaboration, we are supporting Simple Energy with a fully integrated vehicle engineering and lifecycle management digital thread that helps accelerate innovation and support its growth targets.”
Simple Energy initially adopted Teamcenter X to centralize product data management and improve engineering collaboration. As its electric vehicle programs expanded, the company extended its use of the software to manage enterprise bills of materials (BOMs) and vehicle variants using a configurable 150% BOM approach, enabling specific production BOMs to be generated for individual vehicle configurations.
To support increasingly complex vehicle development, Simple Energy has also replaced its legacy 3D CAD software with Siemens’ Designcenter X, integrated with Teamcenter X. The platform supports advanced surface modeling, large assemblies and 3D electrical routing, while Siemens says its value-based licensing model enables the software to scale with the company’s growth.
