Australia’s submarine company, ASC, has selected Siemens’ industry-leading software to help sustain the nation’s Collins Class submarines.
The Collins Class sustainment program, vital to maintaining Australia’s sovereign submarine capability into the 2040s, will use Teamcenter software from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio.
The Product Lifecycle Management software will streamline product design data development by creating a digital thread throughout the design process.
In choosing Teamcenter, ASC joins other leading global submarine and naval shipbuilders across the US, the UK, Europe and Asia already relying on Siemens solutions.
“For four decades, ASC has proudly led Australia’s submarine build and sustainment efforts, delivering more than 1,000 enhancements to the fleet of six Collins Class submarines,” ASC managing director and chief executive officer Stuart Whiley said.
“With Siemens’ software, ASC is equipped to implement future upgrades that will preserve and strengthen Australia’s sovereign submarine capability.”
Teamcenter integrates PLM, 3D modelling and material and asset management practices from conceptual design to production and through-life support.
This important program will be delivered together with ASC’s implementation partner, professional services firm, Deloitte.
Samantha Murray, vice president and managing director Australia and New Zealand, Siemens Digital Industries Software, said she is pleased that Siemens’ software will be an important part of ASC’s digitalisation journey and support Australia’s submarine maintenance and upgrade services.
“It’s a privilege to work with the ASC and provide Australia’s submarine builder and sustainer critical product life cycle management software which is used in the design, engineering and construction of submarines all over the world,” Murray said.
“Siemens’ Teamcenter is used to help streamline processes, manage complex product information and improve collaboration across the entire submarine life cycle – from initial concept to decommissioning.”
