“GEMS SQL provided a safe network- based platform with additional security. We can control access to data with read and write permissions, which is a big advantage on the geology side.”
"Abaqus enabled us to quickly and efficiently visualize the effects of taking different approaches."
"Becoming a smart airport is not about technology per se. It’s about how airports apply data generated by sensors that are part of a smart airport’s infrastructure."
"Aldo Chiaradia is the Chief Information Technology Officer of the Benetton Group. Prior to his current role Chiaradia held C-level positions in several Italian companies."
"Mr. Andrea Piras is Director of Product Development and Planning for the Benetton Group. He joined the Benetton Group in 2007 as Global Sourcing Director before being promoted to his current role."
"Our design, engineering and production people collaborate in a common environment, exchanging ideas and making modifications on the fly."
"The first yacht he built was a 24 meter aluminum high-speed motor yacht, which has since become part of the company’s DNA. Since then, we’ve become well-known for our highspeed aluminum high range luxury yachts.”
"One of the biggest is managing the vessel’s many designed and assembled parts, Every part has its own strength, stiffness, and vibration requirements, which makes it unique but also very complex to design and manage. We can’t just take a part from another boat and use it in this yacht. To assemble all these parts, CATIA helped ensure a smooth assembly sequence by enabling us to first verify in a virtual environment that parts fit together without interference. It was a clear illustration of successful interdisciplinary collaboration, working simultaneously in 3D to produce the optimum design before releasing it to production. In essence, it was right the first time,”
"This includes all mechanical engineering systems, ventilation, sanitary systems, fresh water lines, electrical, window wipers and pneumatics. Our role in mechanical engineering is to ensure that all systems are positioned and functioning correctly, and that we make efficient use of the space we have available. CATIA is used to design all the systems, and with the digital 3D mockup, we are able to verify that everything fits and that there are no interferences before finalizing the routing assembly drawings.”
"Our job is to create a pleasant atmosphere for the owner and we usually have to walk a fine line between what they want and what is feasible. We can present the client with a virtual 3D mock-up of their future yacht interior, which helps us understand what the client wants, and for the client to clearly visualize what we propose in response.”
“Carbon fiber is already used today in electric vehicles, but one limitation is fracture toughness. Anywhere you have a large structural component, there are geometric discontinuities the intersection of an aircraft fuselage with an engine cowling, for instance, or the window frame in a passenger vehicle that present areas prone to failure in the event of a crash or overload.”
“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%.”
"The ability of V6 to handle the complexity both in our product and our process as we move forward is very important. Its ability to unify multiple organizations under one banner and bring them all together within a common solution will help us immeasurably going forward."
"We’re already working to get supplier access into the V6 system, so there will be one source of design truth in a secure environment. 3DLIVE and 3DVIA will help to open up the design process even further because you don’t need to be a CAD expert to work with them."
“If we did everything from scratch, it would take many years to get to the level that 3DVIA Virtools gives us right out of the box.”
