Boosted Efficiency and Reduced Costs with Rocket^® TRUfusion Enterprise

Company

Industry: Automotive

Magna Roof Systems, part of Magna International, is a global leader in roof system technology. With over 2.7 million roof systems produced, their expertise spans mechatronics, hardware, and software integration. They serve as a complete system supplier with operations across four countries and a workforce of 1,150 employees.

Challenge

Manual data exchange processes led to inefficiencies and increased the risk of human error. 

Magna Roof Systems, a leading supplier, needed to improve output and meet OEM requirements to stay competitive. However, the lack of integration between Siemens Teamcenter PLM and Rocket TRUfusion Enterprise meant employees had to manually handle product design data exchange (PDX), resulting in time-consuming, error-prone, and costly processes. These issues slowed productivity, delayed projects, complicated CAD data tracking, and jeopardized on-time delivery, compliance, client relationships, and costs. 

Solution

Rocket’s Teamcenter Plugin automated data exchange processes while ensuring integration with existing systems.

Magna partnered with Rocket Software to integrate TRUfusion Enterprise with Siemens Teamcenter using Rocket's Teamcenter Plugin, enabling seamless product design data exchange without disrupting existing IT infrastructure. The integration provided a user-friendly interface, allowing Magna’s engineering team to automate tasks like formatting, renaming, and file exchanges, reducing errors and ensuring compliance with OEM mandates. Comprehensive audit trails ensured secure, traceable data handling, while Rocket’s partnership with Siemens guaranteed compatibility with future software updates. 

Results

Magna saved time, improved productivity, and achieved seamless compliance with OEM requirements.

By integrating TRUfusion Enterprise with Teamcenter, Magna streamlined product design data exchange. Automation saved time, reduced errors, and guaranteed compliance with standards and OEM requirements. The integration cut costs by 10-30% per transfer job, depending on data volume, allowing engineers to focus on innovation rather than admin tasks. This boosted productivity, sped up timelines, and improved design accuracy. Today, 85% of Teamcenter PDX jobs use the Rocket integration, a key step in Magna’s modernization, helping them deliver innovative roof systems on time and within budget.
