Sedemac and Siemens Partner to Develop Automotive Motor Control Units

Siemens has partnered with SEDEMAC Mechatronics to enhance product development using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio for motor and engine control units.

Texas, United States- Siemens Digital Industries Software Inc., announced that Sedemac Mechatronics Private Limited., has adopted the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to enhance innovation and speed up product development in its R&D, Engineering, and Manufacturing teams without sacrificing quality. This software supports the development of SEDEMAC's motor control units and engine control units. The motor control units, featuring SEDEMAC’s pioneering sensorless control (SLC) technology, are utilized in EVs, hybrids, eBikes, and power tools, while the engine control units are designed for both off-road and on-road engines.

Founded at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, SEDEMAC boasts advanced development and manufacturing facilities in Pune, India. Its SLC products are now utilized in millions of vehicles and other electric and ICE equipment worldwide. To enhance traceability between requirements and test cases, SEDEMAC has adopted Siemens’ Polarion X software, which centralizes test reports, manages versions and revisions, and standardizes design actions and reporting across its R&D teams

SEDEMAC has adopted Siemens’ Teamcenter X software for Product Lifecycle Management, complementing its Polarion ALM tool to achieve rapid yet high-quality development. This digital innovation backbone facilitates seamless collaboration among teams, streamlines manufacturing Bill of Materials (mBOM) management, and significantly enhances engineer efficiency and productivity.

Mr. Harsh Vinjamoor, Chief engineer, Systems Engineering, SEDEMAC, said, “Polarion’s flexible approach has allowed us to craft workflows that help implement our processes in a convenient and yet exhaustive manner. With advanced reporting tools our quality team is able to stay on top of multiple projects simultaneously and keep management abreast of risks if any. The autonomy of being able to modify workflows allows continual process improvement to be deployed with ease, in-house.”

Mr. Mathew Thomas, managing director and vice president for India, Siemens Digital Industries Software, said, “It’s indispensable to have a comprehensive digital platform strategy for product manufacturers developing best-in class solutions for emerging electric vehicle ecosystem. We are thrilled to partner with SEDEMAC in their journey and empowering them with Siemens’ digital twin offerings based on the Siemens Xcelerator platform, which offers inter-operability and flexibility to integrate with SEDEMAC’s existing digital technologies thus creating an optimized digital thread enabling SEDEMAC to efficiently focus on product development, R&D and engineering.”
