On October 22, 2026, we invite you to the DRWE Customer Day in Böblingen. Under this year’s theme, “Change – Transformation and Pain”, you can look forward to technical presentations on Siemens Teamcenter and Designcenter NX, case studies from small and medium-sized businesses, and a panel discussion that you can help shape by asking your own questions.
Why "Change – Transformation and Pain"?
Change is uncomfortable. It takes time, requires resources, and challenges established practices. That is precisely why it is often postponed or implemented only halfheartedly in day-to-day engineering work. The real danger, however, lies not in change, but in standing still. Our Customer Day addresses this tension and shows how transformation in PLM environments can be successfully achieved in practice.
An Overview of the Program Highlights
Morning: AI and Knowledge Management
After a pretzel breakfast and a welcome address by the company’s management, Antje Wallner and Rainer Berger, Dennis Zügn from Siemens PLM Software will discuss the topic AI in Industry – Between Hype and Challenges. Fabian Wallner and Michel Höflinger will then explain why DRWE is focusing on local AI and how this leads to scalable solutions for knowledge management and Teamcenter.
Afternoon: Teamcenter, Designcenter NX, and Case Studies
In parallel sessions, you'll delve deeper into your areas of focus:
- What's New in Teamcenter Active Workspace
- Teamcenter Requirements Management: What Changes When Requirements Become Part of PLM
- What's new in Designcenter NX
- E-Learning @ DRWE
- From Pain to Gain: How Teamcenter Change Management Was Integrated into Handtmann's Global Change Process
- SPLIT: The best of Multisolid and Single Solid
Keynote "Startup Code"
The event will conclude with a keynote address by Johannes Ellenberg of Startup Stuttgart e.V. He will explain what medium-sized companies can learn from startups and why this is often so difficult. His central message: Transformation doesn’t happen solely through tools and methods. It begins in the mind and is reflected in action.
