Siemens announced that Airbus has selected Capital™ electrical/electronic (E/E) systems development software from Siemens' Xcelerator portfolio to accelerate the development of commercial aircraft. The Capital platform's comprehensive digital thread and openness were key elements that drove this selection, as this facilitates integration within the broad engineering enterprise. Siemens' strong support along with technical workshops will help to accelerate new process design and adoption.

Capital delivers a true, configuration controlled, E/E system digital twin, supported by a comprehensive digital thread throughout the E/E system development, manufacturing and operational life cycle. Additionally, the open IT architecture and multi-domain integrations within Capital enable straightforward deployment into Airbus' Lean PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) environment and provides the backbone for E/E systems design and electrical harness manufacturing engineering across its multi-country development team.
