As industries face growing pressure to innovate faster and deliver complex products with precision, leading engineering companies are turning to advanced design and collaboration tools. One such example is MTA SpA—an automotive electronics and power distribution systems specialist—who embraced Siemens NX CAD and Teamcenter to accelerate their digital engineering transformation.
What are Siemens NX CAD and Teamcenter?
NX CAD is Siemens’ powerful computer-aided design software used for advanced product design, modelling, and simulation. It enables engineers to create accurate digital twins, validate designs early, and reduce time-to-market.
Teamcenter is a robust Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform that connects people and processes across departments, providing a single source of truth for product data and enabling efficient collaboration throughout the product lifecycle.
Together, NX and Teamcenter deliver a future-ready solution that transforms how engineering teams work—from idea to execution.
Who benefits from implementing NX CAD and Teamcenter?
These solutions are ideal for engineering-driven organisations, especially in sectors such as:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Industrial machinery
- Electronics
- Consumer products
Companies that rely heavily on innovation, customisation, and precision benefit the most. NX enables detailed, scalable product design, while Teamcenter ensures that all stakeholders—from design to manufacturing—are aligned.
For MTA, implementing these tools has empowered over 300 users across 5 countries to collaborate efficiently and innovate faster.
When should you adopt NX and Teamcenter?
Now is the time to adopt NX CAD and Teamcenter if your organisation:
- Faces challenges in managing complex product data
- Struggles with siloed teams and systems
- Experiences long design-to-production cycles
- Requires support for multiple engineering disciplines
- Is scaling across international locations or product lines
As in MTA’s case, digital tools become even more essential when growth demands speed, quality, and global collaboration.
Where do NX and Teamcenter fit in the digital product development process?
NX and Teamcenter form the digital backbone of the modern engineering process. NX manages the creation of the product’s digital twin, while Teamcenter manages the data and decisions around it.
Their integration ensures:
- Design version control
- Multidisciplinary collaboration
- Regulatory compliance
- Change and BOM management
- Seamless integration with ERP and MES systems
At Emixa, we ensure seamless rollout and user enablement so that these tools deliver real ROI from day one.
Why are NX and Teamcenter a winning combination for innovation?
Individually, both tools are powerful. Together, they are game-changing:
- NX CAD delivers flexibility, automation, and real-time simulation
- Teamcenter ensures data integrity, collaboration, and traceability
- Combined, they reduce rework, speed up design cycles, and enable innovation at scale
In MTA’s case, this meant unified product data across 5 global offices and a harmonised engineering process that supports modular, platform-based design strategies.
What does success look like with NX and Teamcenter?
For MTA, success meant:
- Consolidating multiple platforms into a single PLM system
- Connecting design teams worldwide through a central data model
- Shortening lead times and reducing redundant effort
- Enabling faster decision-making and design iteration
With Siemens solutions and Emixa’s expertise, MTA has built a digital foundation that supports continuous innovation and scalability.
NX CAD and Teamcenter are more than just software—they're strategic enablers of innovation, speed, and collaboration. For companies like MTA, these tools are essential for designing the future, managing complexity, and operating globally with confidence.
Whether you're upgrading legacy systems or laying the groundwork for smart manufacturing, NX and Teamcenter offer the integration, power, and scalability modern engineering demands.
