Reducing product development cycle times by 30 percent and total manufacturing operations ownership costs by 45 percent

Empowering companies with digital engineering solutions

Goaltech Engineering Solutions (Goaltech), a Siemens Digital Industries Software partner, provides engineering solutions by combining engineering experience with advanced Siemens solutions. It offers comprehensive engineering and 3D technology solutions customizable to its customers’ needs. These solutions include NX™ software, Teamcenter® software, Valor™ software, Capital™ software and the Tecnomatix® portfolio, which are part of the Siemens Xcelerator business platform of software, hardware and services.

Since the company’s customers manufacture a range of industrial equipment and infrastructure components, including automation systems, power generation equipment and construction materials, it aims to provide digital tools and cutting-edge solutions to help them overcome industry challenges.

Overcoming complex business challenges

Goaltech’s industrial and infrastructure customers face several challenges, including increasing global competition, tightening regulatory requirements and needing to continually improve operational efficiency and product quality. Additionally, its clients need to overcome silos due to legacy design, engineering and manufacturing systems, which often hinder collaboration and their ability to rapidly respond to changing market demands. Further, for the electric and electronics industries, reducing time and transforming digitally are challenging.

To address these challenges, Goaltech partnered with its customers to implement Siemens solutions. For example, it leveraged NX for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided engineering (CAE), Teamcenter for product lifecycle management (PLM) and Tecnomatix for manufacturing process management. Additionally, for electrical and electronic (E/E) system development, Goaltech offers Capital solutions to automate and manage the electrical system’s value chain, streamlining design, iteration and optimization. Further, customers can use Valor Process Preparation software to improve their surface mount technology (SMT) manufacturing processes. With this solution, they can optimize printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies, as well as reduce errors, consistency issues and setup costs while saving time and speeding up future processes.

By integrating design, engineering and manufacturing processes, Goaltech’s customers could break down functional silos, improve data visibility and traceability and streamline their product development lifecycle. This enabled them to accelerate innovation, enhance product quality and meet the evolving needs of their end-customers.

Additionally, using these Siemens solutions allows Goaltech’s customers to seamlessly collaborate across their value chain, facilitating data sharing, design reuse and process optimization while driving increased efficiency, quality and innovation. This helps them bring new, high-quality products to market faster while reducing total cost of ownership.

“The original decision to work with Goaltech was made based on the previous cooperation between Altaser and Goaltech,” says Eva Rohden, engineering manager at AT Engine. “As far as I know, Goaltech had proven to provide good prices compared to other options. We continue the cooperation because Goaltech’s customer service is good. In my opinion, we always get professional and knowledgeable solutions to our problems. I also like the realistic and humble, non-bothering way of maintaining the business relationship. If we need something, they always attend to us quickly and with high commitment.”

Providing customized Siemens solutions

To help its customers address their business challenges, Goaltech leverages its deep expertise in Siemens technologies and its ability to tailor these solutions to the unique requirements of various industry sectors. The company’s team of experienced engineers and consultants work closely with customers to understand their pain points and develop customized solutions that leverage the full capabilities of the Siemens Xcelerator business platform.

“Goaltech took on a design project for a new disposable medical device and submitted several concepts for a product in the areas of ergonomics, clinical function, DFM/DFA and low cost,” says Mike Lontine, research and development (R&D) director at CONMED Corporation. “They worked superbly as an extension of my design team and provided great flexibility in terms of meeting the needs of the endcustomer. It’s been a pleasure working with Goaltech.”

By replacing legacy, siloed systems with an integrated, data-driven approach powered by Siemens software, Goaltech’s customers dramatically improved collaboration, reduced design iterations and optimized their manufacturing processes. This led to significant improvements in product quality, delivery times and overall operational efficiency.

Achieving tangible results

Thanks to incorporating Siemens solutions and partnering with Goaltech, customers have realized a range of quantifiable benefits. For example, customers have reduced their product development cycle times by 30 percent, improved first-pass yield (FPY) for critical industrial components by 20 percent and decreased the total cost of ownership for manufacturing operations by 25 percent. Additionally, another client increased its engineering productivity by 40 percent due to enhancing its collaboration and design reuse.

Using Valor Process Preparation, customers reduced their debugging time by up to 40 percent, optimized multiline jobs and validated assembly drawings and shapes in a single solution. With this solution, they leveraged cross-platform CAD support and auto generated bill-of-materials (BOM).

These improvements empowered Goaltech’s customers over a wide range of industries to strengthen their competitive position, enhance customer satisfaction and drive sustainable growth in their respective markets.
