Case Study – Use of Teamcenter and NX help Motor Jikov Group become a market leader in CNG car filling stations
21st-century home “filling stations” dispense compressed natural gas
Motor Jikov
A century ago, the first roadside commercial “filling stations” began to appear, beckoning drivers to stop in for gasoline, lubricants and mechanical services. Today, drivers can gas up at home, using 21st century “filling stations” – the compact machines that are used to fill up modern cars equipped to burn compressed natural gas (CNG). A Czech-based manufacturer, Motor Jikov, is doing a thriving business in providing these machines to homeowners.
“We have been using CAD and CAM for many years, and one could say that we could not exist without these today,” says Ing Vladimír Kubeš of Motor Jikov Fostron. “We have been using NX for quite a long time. It is a robust, comprehensive system, which we decided to use on the basis of our good experience with the designing and building of molds. With NX, we have a unified solution for product development throughout the group.
Read this free and informative case study today to learn how Motor Jikov is using synergies to the fullest extent by having transparent and powerful NX software for designing individual parts and also implemented Teamcenter software that can connect complex and often disparate data.
Among its specialties, the subsidiary in Soběslav is using both NX and Teamcenter to develop and produce its highly successful CNG filling station line. “With today’s fuel prices, every efficient measure is welcome and CNG proves to be a very successful solution,” says Kubeš. The small CNG filling stations are very efficient and they are a very good investment both for companies and private users.” Kubeš, who uses a company car fueled by CNG, notes, “Yes, I can confirm that the savings are significant.”
