Benchmark for design of groupsetsand wheels
Campagnolo S.r.l. is an iconic, globally
recognized, high-end sports cycling
brand. Founded in Vicenza in 1933 by
Commendatore Tullio Campagnolo, the
company expanded over the years, while
focusing on three fundamental concepts:
performance, technological innovation
and quality of products and services.
Today, the company operates in more than
30 countries, exporting 80 percent of its
products to the United States, the United
Kingdom, Benelux, Germany, France,
Spain and Japan. Campagnolo products
are known for embracing new technology,
including the use of top-quality materials
from the aerospace industry, such as car-
bon ber, titanium and aluminum alloys.
The company is a benchmark for design, as
evidenced by the prestigious Compasso
dOro award from the Associazione DesignItaliano in recognition of the Veloce group-
set, Ergopower integrated controls and
Shamal high-prole wheels. (A groupset is
a bicycle manufacturers organized collec-
tion of mechanical parts.)
Extreme complexity
It normally takes almost three years for
Campagnolo to develop a complete product
groupset. However, a highly competitive

CampagnoloIconic bicycle component manufacturer kicks new product developmentinto a higher gear
and ever-changing market has led the com-pany to squeeze the cycle down to two
years, starting from project specications.
Stefano Garbin, CAD/CAE/PLM (computer-
aided design/computer-aided engineering/
product lifecycle management) and com-
puting technology manager, says that
development consists of different stages:
from concept to technical pre-series, from
industrial pre-series to production launch.
With very narrow deadlines, we need ex-

ible tools that allow us to view each part
inside the overall assembly, says Garbin.Because we have high component re-use
rates, when we decide to change an exist-
ing component, we have to consider the
possible performance impact on the entire
range. A simple spring, for instance, can
be found in 70 percent of our present and
past groupsets.
The share of new components in a new
groupset design can reach 50 percent,
while for simple restyling projects it can be
as low as 10-15 percent. The company
must ensure full traceability and preserve
all the documentation of the developmentcycle, in case of complaints or legal issues.
Campagnolo must always be at the top of
performance, says Garbin. Our products
are at the high end of the market. We are a
sort of a Ferrari for bikes, with the differ-
ence being that, besides performance,
ergonomics and weight, we also have to
deliver products at a reasonable price.
With Teamcenter, we can
now handle the complexityof our portfolio more effec-
tively, keep control of
huge data volumes and,
consequently, we have cut
unnecessary work for
late modifcations and
corrections in half.
Now all data are managed
electronically using
Teamcenter, with approval
workows involving the
development of groupsets,
electronics and wheels.

Gradual transition
The technical department of Campagnolohas been using NX software from
Siemens PLM Software to design group-
sets, wheels and other components since
2000. With a tool such as NX being used to
boost design productivity, the company
was soon confronted with the challenge of
handling a huge volume of project data
with all related changes. Each designer
was used to saving projects on their own
PC, says Garbin. If you just changed a
tiny spring in a groupset or a spoke in a
wheel and forgot to update one or two
assemblies out of thirty, this was enough
to generate unsustainable issues and con-fusion, wasting time and money due to
errors.
Campagnolo management started
searching for a PLM solution, scouting a
variety of options and nally identifying
Teamcenter software, also from Siemens
PLM Software, as the most suitable tech-
nology to address its needs, especially

considering its tight integration with NX.
NX and Teamcenter are two faces of thesame coin and they work best when they
run together, says Garbin. Their integra-
tion level increases at each new release.
Teamcenter was implemented gradually,
because company management wanted to
minimize the impact on the engineering
department. Initially, a pilot test with a
few designers was conducted and then the
solution was deployed on a team-by-team
basis. Without migrating the entire legacy
archive in bulk, new components were
developed using Teamcenter rst, onlyimporting the necessary parts to complete
or modify assemblies.
Tidy and fast
The use of Teamcenter at Campagnolo has
evolved from basic CAD vaulting to simple
workows in the technical area. Legacy
paper-based processes were initially con-
verted to electronic form, then gradually
modied, enhanced and optimized.
We have completely eliminated paper,
with annual savings in the range of several
thousand Euros, says Garbin. Now all
data are managed electronically using
Teamcenter, with approval workows
involving the development of groupsets,
electronics and wheels. At the end of each
workow, PDF (portable document format)
les are generated automatically for
approved and tested products that are sent
to manufacturing. The Teamcenter work-
ow continues with our ERP (enterprise
resource planning) software, through
one-way communication interfaces that
we have developed internally thanks to
the easy customization options ofTeamcenter.
Garbin has a clear vision of the tangible
benets offered by Teamcenter, starting
with organization, speed and efciency in
creating new products and in updating
existing ones. With stricter control, errors
in the engineering departments have been
cut by approximately 50 percent. With an
ever-expanding product range and increas-
ing complexity, we could no longer man-
age all information manually, notes
Garbin. With Teamcenter, we can now
handle the complexity of our portfolio
more effectively, keep control of huge
data volumes and, consequently, we havecut unnecessary work for late modica-
tions and corrections in half.
Electronic derailleur
Two years ago, Campagnolo launched an
electronic derailleur gear that relieves the
hassle of ne adjustment. Instead of oper-
ating mechanical levers and cables, the
bike rider simply presses buttons that send
information to a central control unit,

which in turn issues commands to and
gets feedback from the derailleur gears,
delivering accurate self-adjustment invirtually any situation.
To develop our electronic derailleur gear,
we used the electronic design software
OrCAD by Cadence, which provides a spe-
cic integration with Teamcenter, Garbin
says. It is vital to manage all electronic
component specications systematically,
because electronic parts are subject to
frequent updates, and communications
with suppliers must be as quick and
reliable as possible. The printed circuit
boards designed with OrCAD are inserted
into the model created with NX as simpleshapes and then they are managed
using Teamcenter, just like all other
project data.
Campagnolo is not only a star of the
cycling world, but also in sports in general.
The Wall Street Journal named it as one ofthe most prominent sports brands in the
world. This reputation has been earned
not only through countless racing suc-
cesses, but also by virtue of the attention
Campagnolo places on delivering the high-
est quality and service, which has earned
the company a tangible competitive edge
in its sector.
