The 3DEXPERIENCE Forum was held on May 21 2019. Several industries presented their “use cases” of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE software platform. On the Cloud, it allows you to integrate in a single tool, all the functionalities of the product development cycle (e.g. CAD, CAM, PLM…).
Overview in this engineering 4.0 world: collaborative design, virtual factory and agile supply chain management.

Design collaboratively and automatically

The platform provides access to live information andcollaborationbetween project stakeholders. It includes a “news feed” that allows all employees to share information, and theEnoviasolution. This solution allows you to collaborate in complete security in order to developefficient and flexibleprojects, offeringcontinuous optimizationandreal-time monitoring of progress.

Collaboration is an essential asset. It makes it possible to bring together the visions of the different departments on the same project. Let us take for example,Plastic Omnium, the world leader in intelligent body systems, clean energy systems and automotive modules. The different teams working on the reinforcement on one side and the electronics and cabling on the other can finally communicate more easily and progress together on the same environments in real time.

This inter-team collaboration also makes it possible to develop teleworking and simplify cooperation between employees who are not in the same geographical location and who can now work on the same project at the same time. In addition, it is possible for a manager to monitor remotely the progress of the project. This is the case ofSBM Offshore, which uses 3DEXPERIENCE for this functionality, among other things.

The platform therefore makes it possible tooptimize the existing system and support the life cycle of a product,but it is also avector for innovation. This is the example of theIASOconcept, a medical device developed for people with cancer. This small removable container can be plugged into a patch and allows treatments to be delivered without the need for the patient to stay in the hospital. Making a digital model made it possible to test various characteristics of the object before it was manufactured. They could experiment for example the effect of Bluetooth waves on the body, the adhesion of the glue to the skin according to the different types of skin or even the calculation of the diameter of the tube containing the treatment according to the given constraints (speed, viscosity of the liquid…).

通过v优化产业化进程irtual factory

Industry 4.0is on everyone’s lips. One of the major assets of thisindustrial renaissanceis digitalization and in particular the notion of “digital double” or “digital twin“. Thus, a company can have a 3D digital copy of its plant, to model the entire manufacturing process of its product, and perform simulations/tests at a lower cost.

For example,EDFhas decided to create a digital duplicate of nuclear power plants. This allows them to manage in a better way, among other things, themaintenancestages but also thedismantling. In addition, this digital twin allows the product to be tracked throughout its life cycle.

For its part,Airbushas developed a digital twin of its hangar and all the components it contains. They were thus able to simulate andoptimize the assembly processof their aircraft by specifying the existing constraints (assembly order, place, dimensions…), resulting in abetter organization and time saving.

3DEXPERIENCE allows a more agile Supply Chain

Finally, the platform also makes it possible to manage theSupply Chainand optimize it throughsimulations and modelling. TheDelmiasolution, integrated with 3DEXPERIENCE, makes it possible to provide a complete solution to network stakeholders: from suppliers to manufacturers, logistics and transport service providers, operators and employees.

Schmidt Groupuses the platform to optimize its Supply Chain. The company’s challenge being to offer a tailor-made catalogue (and therefore to manage a multitude of criteria, which prevents it from ensuring a safety stock), it is then necessary to ensureperfect management of suppliersand its production chainin order tomeet the challenge of on-time delivery.

Thanks to the platform, the optimization of their Supply Chain,synchronized with their order book, has made it possible tomaximize their productionand theloading of deliverytrucks.

Another example is theMonnaie de Paris. This company faces very strong international competition and experiences recurrent delays and stock shortages. The platform is a great tool to optimize, plan and better manage their inventory as well as predict shortages. This allows them to offer a more viable, secure solution, and therefore win more tenders.

达索系统公司股价3 dexperience平台是一个extremely complete and powerful tool that allows project management throughout its lifecycle. As we have just seen, the possibilities and solutions are numerous, which not only allows anoptimization of the value chainbut also and above all it is a real industrial renaissance thatopens up the field of innovation possibilities.
