Siemens and Nissan cooperate on electrified powertrains

Fourth Quarter 2022 Electrical switching & drive systems & components

Siemens is cooperating with Nissan to build production lines for the new all-electric crossover Nissan Ariya at the company’s plant in Tochigi, Japan. Nissan had already been using the Siemens Digital Industries software portfolio to optimise design and production. End-to-end digital threads enable Nissan to connect a wide variety of sources of information across product lifecycle management platforms. “Climate change and stringent environmental regulations are powerful drivers for the development of electrified powertrains,” says Cedrik Neike, Siemens Digital Industries CEO.

The system architecture of Nissan’s newly developed electric powertrain aims to standardise the processing and assembly of the powertrain. Profinet creates end-to-end communication from the field to the management level, and the engineering framework TIA Portal has also fully integrated all automation devices. This enables complete access to the entire digitalised automation process, from digital planning to integrated engineering and transparent operation.

More intelligent automobiles require more high-performing electronic control units (ECUs) in the vehicle – as is the case in the new Nissan Ariya. The Siemens diagnostic commissioning system Sidis Pro, which has already been deployed in many automobile companies around the world, is implemented at Nissan’s new production line for data writing into ECU, and verifying automotive electric components. Sidis Pro is the advanced vehicle diagnosis and inspection data management system that provides optimal support for inspection processes, to enable quality of car production. It provides maximum flexibility in automotive production as it is easily modifiable according to the production plan, and the changes can be adapted quickly.
