Another critical factor was Rune Aero’s collaboration with partners who use a wide variety of digital tools in their workflows. This diversity made it essential to find a solution capable of streamlining the production process and bridging the gap between different systems.

Solutions

Embracing digital transformation

Rune Aero chose Siemens NX and Siemens Simcenter to meet all its operational requirements. These solutions allowed Rune Aero to have distributed teamwork within the same licensing framework. In addition to adopting Siemens tools, Rune Aero found an invaluable resource—Applied CAx. Applied CAx guided the company through the process of evaluating multiple offerings, which ultimately helped Rune Aero to select the solution that best fit its needs. Applied CAx also assisted with setting up NX and Simcenter. This collaboration significantly enhanced Rune Aero’s daily business functions.

Results

Enhancing team integration

By adopting Siemens NX, Siemens Simcenter, and working with Applied CAx, Rune Aero significantly enhanced team integration across its distributed workforce.

Additionally, Siemens NX’s ability to import, export, and function seamlessly within a mixed software environment had a huge benefit for the company. With partners and vendors using a range of tools, the ability to exchange files without losing fidelity or requiring extensive rework was critical to Rune Aero’s business operations. These software implementations resulted in smoother communication between internal teams and external stakeholders.
