“PLM helps provide a means for us to reach the full potential of far-reaching energy initiatives that will unfold in the coming decades. Without these capabilities, such a project would not be practical.”

"Users can tailor the dashboards to their profession and only visualize the information that they need for their job. It’s so intuitive, when I train new hires, they don’t even wait until I get to the chapter on customizing dashboards; they’re already playing with the widgets and changing the layout. …

"Although the global downturn undermined the automotive market, GWM’s commitment to becoming a global player has never changed. To meet this objective, we wanted to start from an even higher benchmark than the industry’s norm. As a result, it’s imperative that we not only meet the latest Chinese standards, but …

“Thanks to CATIA Analysis, we no longer need to create detailed prototypes since we can perform accurate stress tests virtually. We can implement innovative design ideas faster and have reduced overall production time by 30%.”

"Dymola allows us to simulate system performance and cost benefit analysis in a virtual environment helping us to make better-informed decisions about how to optimize products."

"Abaqus FEA allows structural and thermal simulation, in realistic detail, which enables our team improve our understanding and the functional performance of our Fuel Cell Stack."

“Thanks to data and workflow continuity, we have recorded considerable time and investment benefits and DELMIA plays a crucial role here.”

"Thanks to our digital mock-up approach, design engineers need to make fewer physical prototypes and can verify, at minimal cost, whether special customer requests are feasible."

"We generate the technical documentation directly from the CATIA files using 3DVIA Composer, which saves us a lot of time."

“Virtual simulation with DELMIA enabled us to prove our build concept, verify the assembly path of the parts in the factory, and more efficiently balance the workload between stations, thereby reducing overall lead times.”

"In EU projects, it is important to demonstrate the potential of the developed technologies and how they can be implemented in products and production. In LOCOMACHS, we chose to implement the most promising technologies in the virtual wing factory of the future to show the possibilities and efficiency of these …

“We now have full traceability of finished goods. Integrity control is much better. We have faster physical stock checks and automated order picking. Paperwork is a thing of the past.”

“With the MES upgrade project, we accomplished the implementation of FlexNet, which now provides real-time information about the processes both in a detailed ‘shop floor’ level and also at a managerial level; you only need a PC to access and have a ‘look’ at the process.”

"From my point of view, Apriso has come to simplify the processes and improve controls. The users in the factory see Apriso as a facilitator of the process instead of an additional work load."

"I am very happy with the benefits so far, including improved brand change process, better process control, and reduced waste, among other benefits. The system is very flexible, changes are not so expensive, and factory people believe in it. I have no doubt that this is just the beginning."
