Tatra Trucks will use Teamcenter to coordinate processes and manage data across product development, production, communication, spare parts, and warranty services.
Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Tatra Trucks, a truck manufacturer based in Czechia, has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, including Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management (PLM) and the Mendix low-code platform. The implementation is intended to support efforts to increase production capacity and improve the ability to meet specific customer requirements. As part of this initiative, Tatra Trucks is working to modernize and optimize its production processes.
Tatra Trucks will use Teamcenter to support process coordination and data management across business communication, product development, vehicle production, spare parts catalogues, and warranty services. This involves integrating their product lifecycle management (PLM) system with their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
These systems will become key pillars of digitalization, enabling the company to unify previously fragmented systems, simplify processes and enable faster and more efficient collaboration between departments. The implementation also includes Siemens’ Mendix low-code platform which allows for the quick creation of applications to reach data from information systems such as ERP and customer relationship management (CRM) and connect it to the Teamcenter digital thread backbone.
The software integrates key PLM processes into a single database. Teamcenter will manage customer requirements in real time through program and project management, including process quality across the organization. Changes and requests will be tracked using Teamcenter’s change management features. The PLM system supports the creation and management of complete bills of materials and is intended to help Tatra Trucks improve product development efficiency, enhance information sharing across production, service, and maintenance, and support efforts to reduce carbon emissions and meet regulatory requirements.
Tatra Trucks a.s. company took over the world-famous brand Tatra and the Kopřivnice-based automotive manufacturer in 2013, which underwent a successful restructuring after the change in ownership structure. In addition to standardized model series, it also manufactures special trucks tailored to customer requirements. The domestic markets in the Czech Republic and Slovakia are very important, and a large part of the company’s production is intended for export to dozens of countries around the world. Tatra Trucks a.s. employs more than 1,800 people and another 500 work in its subsidiary Tatra Metalurgie a.s., which focuses mainly on foundry and forging. The shareholders of Tatra Trucks are the industrial-technological holding Czechoslovak Group and the engineering group Promet Group.
