PLANO, TX, May 21, 2026 – H2 Core Systems is using Siemens Xcelerator and automation tools to build modular hydrogen energy systems that produce, store and reconvert renewable power. The workflow combines 3D design, cloud collaboration and PLC-based automation for decentralized energy supply.
H2 Core Systems uses Siemens Designcenter X Solid Edge as the core software for its digital product development process. Engineers use the software to design and visualize products in 3D before physical production. The workflow has reduced production time by 50%, speed up design and customization cycles by 20% and contributed to a 70% overall growth rate.
H2 Core Systems also uses Siemens Teamcenter Share for cloud-based collaboration. The app supports marketing assets, technical documentation and the communication of complex design concepts to customers and stakeholders. H2 Core Systems also integrates Siemens S7 1200 compact programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and TIA Portal to develop and implement automation for its hydrogen systems.
“In our role as an accelerator of the energy transition, we need to respond to individual requirements promptly and with modular, scalable energy systems,” said Ulf Jörgensen, chief executive officer, H2 Core Systems. “This acceleration is based on fully digitalized, dynamic and efficient collaboration between sales, engineering, production and documentation. Siemens Xcelerator enables this collaboration and significantly reduces our time-to-market.”
“Siemens Xcelerator, including Designcenter and Teamcenter, is built to help companies like H2 Core Systems design and collaborate more efficiently; by allowing them to visualize the complete product in 3D and collaborate seamlessly with stakeholders from anywhere, on any device, they can make informed design changes before production starts, saving time and money. This speeds the development of new solutions, allows greater innovation and enables customization based on customer needs,” said Joe Bohman, EVP PLM Products, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Siemens’ technologies help them reduce complex steps and deliver sustainable energy systems quickly to communities that need them.”
“By combining modular hydrogen energy systems with Siemens’ advanced software and automation hardware, we can continue to deliver sustainable energy solutions worldwide, quickly adapting to customer needs and scaling our impact,” says Thorsten Claussen, head of mechanical engineering, H2 Core Systems. “We use Designcenter X Solid Edge to fully digitize our dynamic product and production planning. Thanks to the innovative solutions for distributed teams and high variability, we can significantly accelerate our development processes and production preparations and thus considerably reduce the time-to-market of our hydrogen-based energy systems.”
