Case Study: PCI-SCEMM achieves up to 30% productivity gains with Hexagon NCSIMUL

Hexagon simulation increases PCI-SCEMM productivity

PCI-SCEMM, a manufacturer of powertrain components, operates in a hyper-competitive environment for high-speed automotive production. Their challenge was to create perfect, tailor-made machining programs that fully exploit machine capacity and meet all customer constraints, guaranteeing cycle times and quality. To address this, they turned to vendor Hexagon's NCSIMUL simulation software.

Hexagon's solution provided a market-leading simulation to validate machining programs. This allowed PCI-SCEMM to systematically simulate processes upstream and downstream, ensuring collision-free deployment with no accessibility issues. The implementation resulted in productivity gains of 20 to 30 percent, gave the company a real competitive advantage, and brought them into the Industry 4.0 era ahead of time by utilizing virtual machines as real digital twins.
