ACC Powers Ahead
How Automotive Cells Company modernized its PLM system with Percall Group Siemens Partner
Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is at the forefront of Europe’s electric vehicle revolution. With over 2,200 employees and strategic partnerships with Stellantis, Mercedes, and Total Energies, ACC designs and manufactures lithium-ion batteries that power the future of mobility.
But as ACC scaled production and major factory ramp-up, one key challenge emerged: a modern PLM integrated digitalization system to support fast ramp-up.
Continuous evolutive technology
The company needed a modern PLM interface capable of advanced features, along with improved security and robust architecture.
ACC’s existing Teamcenter version was not upgraded for 2 years for operational reasons, creating a continuous increasing gap to catch up and as a consequence prevent ACC PLM project to keep pace with its ambitious plans.
A Strategic Leap Forward
As a trusted ACC partner since 2020, Percall Group Siemens Partner has executed a major upgrade from Teamcenter 1403 to 2412, a jump of four versions.
This upgrade unlocked advanced visualization tools, strengthened security and compliance, and introduced a future-ready architecture for latest Siemens innovation. Through this major transformation, the experience, collaboration and productivity of hundreds of end-users were boosted by a more intuitive and performant platform.
With Percall Group’s proven methodology, the transition was fast and efficient. This seamless upgrade positioned ACC to scale confidently, optimize operations and continue leading the market.
Eric le Dantec, ACC PLM Project Manager:
« We trusted Percall Group for our upgrade, and they delivered at the expected quality level. Their expertise ensured compatibility with our existing processes and minimized disruption. We now have a more robust and scalable solution. »
A seamless transformation
The upgrade had to be seamless, minimizing disruption to daily operations. With hundreds of users relying on PLM every day, downtime simply wasn’t an option.
The upgrade was completed with minimal disruption, only three days of downtime.
It delivered significant improvements in functionality, security, and architecture, while successfully deploying a Teamcenter version to ensure future readiness.
Percall Group Siemens Partner is proud to have worked alongside ACC by executing a smooth, efficient upgrade that sets the foundation for continued growth.
A step toward modernization
This upgrade wasn’t just a technical milestone; it was a strategic enabler for ACC’s growth. By modernizing its PLM environment, ACC can now:
• Accelerate innovation in battery technology
• An efficient support of product quality process
• Scale operations without compromising security
• Unlock latest Teamcenter features
Frédéric Marouseau, ACC PLM Technical Leader:
« This latest upgrade reinforces our approach to implementation, centered around Out of the Box parameterization since Teamcenter 12. The input from Percall Group has been a key factor in maintaining the agility necessary to keep up with the most recent features. »
