Siemens Digital Industries Software

Manufacturers of heavy equipment are often weighed down by the complexity of products and production demand. However, digitalization can help them rise above the competition. 🚜 While simulation helps the design and development of manufacturing processes, digitalization also offers ways to bridge data silos between manufacturing and the products they make. 🤝 Much of this can be possible thanks to the comprehensive digital twin, the virtual representation of a product and its processes across its entire lifecycle. The comprehensive digital twin enables new ways to manage a product’s lifecycle holistically by connecting real-time data between all stakeholders involved with the product.

By implementing Designcenter NX, Simcenter and Teamcenter software, Crucianelli has created a complete digital thread that optimizes the customer experience from point-of-sale through after-sales service. The company is also using Plant Simulation to optimize its new assembly line for the Dómina seeder, launching in 2026. “Just as sustainability and social-economic stability is fundamental to our farmers, we believe that technology and the adoption of technology is key to our future – and we have a strategic plan to be among the top five seeder companies worldwide by 2030,” said Gustavo Crucianelli, chief executive officer, Crucianelli Group. “The success of our digitalization work with Siemens is crucial to that goal and this includes Siemens’ partners, X-Plan S.R.L. 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗿í𝗮 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮 X-Plan and Descar Argentina SRL. Everyone on the team knows that we want to continue to be a family business, yet one that is professional on our own terms. We’ve had the best experience implementing Siemens Xcelerator. We’re very happy not only with the Siemens products, but with the entire team and process.” Engineering Manager Juan Pablo Cittadini added: "Thanks to the experience we gained from the Siemens projects, the time required to develop a new product and the number of prototypes and field tests was reduced by more than 40 percent." "Crucianelli’s success with Siemens Xcelerator is a powerful example of how digital transformation delivers the greatest impact when applied holistically – across the full enterprise. From design and engineering to production and after-sales service, integrating digital tools enables faster innovation, smarter decision-making, and a more connected customer experience,” said Hendrik Lange, our senior director, Heavy Equipment Industry. “In industries like heavy equipment and agricultural machinery, where precision, performance, and uptime are critical, this end-to-end approach is not just beneficial - it’s essential - and is true for companies of all sizes."
