Siemens is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing – one of the longest standing technical partnerships in Formula 1 today.
“With Siemens, we’ve got the digital backbone that lets us turn ideas into reality faster than ever. Their tools give our engineers the freedom to innovate, adapt and stay agile, which in Formula 1 can be the difference between winning and losing. It’s a partnership that continues to push us to new heights every season,” said Christian Horner, CEO and team principal, Oracle Red Bull Racing.
Since 2004, Oracle Red Bull Racing has built its engineering infrastructure on the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of industry software. The team has effectively managed logistical challenges, increased design complexity and the met the need for growing number of parts and engineering changes per year, as well as improved manufacturing repeatability.
Siemens Xcelerator has enabled the team to transform its processes from adopting the latest engineering technology that supports rapid part design, to composite part development and wire harness engineering. The team is continuously designing and manufacturing both at its technical center and at trackside between races. Siemens says the Xcelerator helps the team in engineering, manufacturing and continuing success on the track.
“Working with Red Bull Racing from day one has been an incredible journey, both personally and professionally. I started as an engineer at Siemens, supporting their vision, and 20 years later, I’m proud to see how our collaboration has helped drive their success,” said Ben Sheath, vice president and managing director, UK & Ireland, Siemens Digital Industries Software.
