Gilmour Space to
accelerate design and manufacturing with Siemens
Xcelerator
Gilmour Space Technologies
announced it will use cutting-edge solutions from the
Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software to
digitally transform its design and manufacturing
processes across its Queensland facilities. Most
recently, Gilmour Space unveiled Australia’s first
home-grown orbital launch vehicle. The use of this
design and product lifecycle management (PLM) software
will help to increase cross-functional collaboration
through unified digital frameworks across various areas
such as launch vehicles, satellites, launch site
operations and research and development.
Siemens Digital Industries
Software’s consultancy and implementation partner
PhoenxPLM will support Gilmour Space’s transition to
Siemens’ NX™ software for product engineering and
Teamcenter® software, the world’s most widely used
digital lifecycle management software.
Speaking on the announcement, Adam
Gilmour CEO of Gilmour Space said, “We’re a startup that
has grown exponentially the last few years thanks to
strong global demand for our products and services and
the backing of Australia’s biggest investors. We want
software than can scale with us, help us to increase
efficiency and collaboration, and shorten our
time-to-market."
“We’re unique in Australia in
providing a full spectrum of launch services to our
global customers – from the launch vehicle and orbital
launch site to the satellite platforms and mission
management. Siemens’ software will play a key role in
our ongoing research, product and solution development
as we grow into a globally competitive launch provider.”
Adam Gilmour, CEO, Gilmour Space
Siemens’ NX software will enable
increased design accuracy and quality across large
assemblies, supporting complex design management between
different vehicle stages. In tandem, Teamcenter will
support ongoing communication between design, analysis,
manufacturing, and testing teams, reducing information
silos and increasing efficiency whilst optimising
processes and providing effective data and configuration
management.
Samantha Murray, Vice President and
Managing Director of Siemens Digital Industries
Software, Australia and New Zealand said, “It’s
fantastic to have an innovative and progressive startup
such as Gilmour Space use our technology to scale new
heights and revolutionise the future of Australian space
industry. No matter what industry, digitalisation helps
level the playing field globally. I commend Gilmour
Space on pushing the boundaries and helping make
Australia a front runner in the global space technology
sector. It’s also been great to work with our long-time
implementation partners PhoenxPLM on this project.”
Speaking on the announcement,
PhoenxPLM’s General Manager Matt Baker said, “We are
honoured to be chosen by Gilmour Space as their
preferred partner for digitalisation. We firmly believe
that our partnership and Siemens’ technology will enable
Gilmour Space to unlock new levels of innovation,
efficiency, and collaboration, giving them a competitive
edge and global recognition in space exploration.”
