Sumitomo ElectricSumitomo Electric Adopts AVEVA for Engineering Design
Sumitomo Electric, an industrials organization in Japan, uses APM from AVEVA to support engineering design for design engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for product design |
| Capability | Engineering design stays visible to adjacent teams through APM |
| Capability | Design engineers work from the same APM record for product design |
Story
Inside Sumitomo Electric, engineering design used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of Japan. Design engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Sumitomo Electric uses APM from AVEVA as the working layer for product design. AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, provides industrial software for engineering, operations, and real-time data, including the PI System. The practical change is simple: engineering design has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Sumitomo Electric gets from AVEVA is a durable place to run engineering design and a way for design engineers to see the same product design at the same time.
