Case Study: Sumitomo Electric Bordnetze accelerates engineering change management with CONTACT Software's CIM Database

Sumitomo - Customer Case Study

Sumitomo Electric Bordnetze (SEBN), a major global manufacturer of automotive wiring harnesses, faced the challenge of managing increasingly complex vehicle electrical systems and highly variant final assemblies. To meet these demands and accelerate its development cycles, the company turned to CONTACT Software to implement its CIM Database platform as a central product development system.

The solution from CONTACT Software provided a company-wide PLM platform, integrating multi-CAD data management, document management, and a reliable engineering change process with an integrated cost calculation system. The results included significantly shortened lead times, a drastic reduction in coordination efforts through process automation, and a transparent, revision-proof product database for reliable evaluation of changes.
