Nooteboom designs and manufactures vehicles for special road
transport, including semi-trailers and low loaders. NX will replace
the company's existing software and will be used for
three-dimensional trailer design and configuration. The NX
implementation is currently in its pilot phase and being tested
within one of the company's vehicle groups. Nooteboom will use NX
to define product structures, so that multiple variants of trailers
can be prepared for production without additional manual effort or
having to make post-production adjustments. Nooteboom will use
Teamcenter as a data management system for the entire organization
and will link new product-related information such as instructions,
legal documents, manuals and schedules. "We are particularly
satisfied with the numerous possibilities to structure data and
generate workflows," said Herm Verbeek, manager of engineering at
Koninklijke Nooteboom Trailers. "Siemens PLM Software's technology
will enable us to focus on our efficiency and increase the time we
can spend on innovation." "The fact that Nooteboom is displacing
its existing solution with Siemens PLM Software's solutions is a
testament to the superiority of our technology, our professionals
and our continual focus on our customers," said Paul Vogel, senior
vice president and managing director for Europe, Middle East &
Africa. About Siemens PLM Software Siemens PLM Software, a business
