Overall Satisfaction with Siemens NX
Norfolk Southern's equipment design and equipment manufacturing facility is made up of a 6 person engineering team that is responsible for designing and developing new and preexisting machines for Norfolk Southern. For a smaller design team, we really are only involved with the design and product development side of Siemens PLM software through the use of NX CAD, NX Nastran, and NX Cam. Having just recently purchased NX Cam, we have greatly increased the amount of products being produced while significantly increasing our products overall quality.
- Seamless interaction across multiple departments.
- The software allows you to create a very high level of control and organization within your engineering staff. This reduces the companies mistakes and maximizes productivity.
- The software makes it very easy to track your product through every phase of the production cycle.
- Speaking from experience with NX, each revision seems to be focused more on the layout of icons as compared to the functionality of the features.
- Features within NX that have been used for years are no longer being used as a result of new revisions. Doesn't make a lot of sense to the end user. It would be nice to know what the reason is on a much larger scale (ie large customer recommendation?)
- Do not knowtotal investment cost, but there have been several projects where Siemens PLM software has both produced a better product and maximized production.
- NX CAM has saved our machining centers thousands of hours and allows direct contact between the designers and the machine programmers.
Currently do not have any experience outside of Siemens PLM.
