For more than 20 years, PLM solutions deployed in the transport and mobility sector have drastically reduced the time to market for new vehicles, optimised their costs and improved their quality, and today the industry faces many challenges: safety and environmental standards, strong competition, changing uses and user expectations.
CHALLENGES: Major changes that transform business processes
Reducing the carbon footprint and integrating an eco-friendly approach
Environmental issues are at the heart of everyone’s concerns. Car manufacturers must therefore design vehicles with increasingly low or zero CO2 emissions. Research in recent years has significantly improved the performance of electric and hybrid cars. In order to comply with environmental standards and consumer requirements, car manufacturers are increasingly turning to “clean energy”. This adoption requires us to question their industrial processes.
Constant and fast launch onto the market while continuing to innovate
The stakeholders in the transport and mobility industry face strong competition. The dilemma therefore arises between research and development of ever more innovative products and ever faster commercialization.
On the one hand, a desire to offer vehicles with new and original features and on the other hand the need to remain a key player in its market. It is essential to find a solution that reconciles these two imperatives.
Control projects, costs, complexity and deliverables
One of the challenges of the transport and mobility industry is to control all the elements of a project. With customer requirements, regulations, competition, new technologies and above all the different tools needed to develop a project, it is more and more difficult for manufacturers to easily handle all the steps.
Whether it is design, simulation, planning or production scheduling, a project requires a set of data that must be taken into account at each step of the industrial process.
Ensure global collaboration
Global collaboration is a major challenge in the transport and mobility industry. In the age of the cloud and ultra-connection, collaborative working has become the norm. Within the same company, collaborative work is essential to have the right information and increase productivity. Being able to work in real time, on the same tool and with all the actors, saves a considerable amount of time.
Good communication, accessible to all, saves time and money. Automotive suppliers must, for their part, respect the demands of the principals with simple exchanges. However, the different software versions often make these exchanges difficult.
SOLUTIONS: A PLM approach to respect standards, remain competitive, satisfy customers and simplify collaboration.
The 3DEXPERIENCE® platform has all the features to design, share and collaborate on complex projects. The platform accelerates innovation capabilities and reduces design and manufacturing cycles by taking into account the requirements of customers. The 3DEXPERIENCE® platform acts as a growth lever through the implementation and management of a single, unified and secure engineering repository that gathers and centralises all product development data and processes.
The deployment of a PLM platform and real-time work allows project managers to ensure governance, to react quickly thanks to defined dashboards, and thus to limit risks and costs. The 3DEXPERIENCE® platform integrates all Dassault Systèmes solutions. Whether you are already using CATIA, DELMIA or SIMULIA, you can use the solution within the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform for real-time collaboration. It is therefore very easy to migrate to 3DEXPERIENCE®.
Dassault Systèmes’ solutions digitalise all development processes. Whether it is the characterisation of materials, the dimensioning of cooling elements, load-dependent behaviour simulations, the estimation of heat losses, assembly processes, 3DEXPERIENCE®, CATIA and SIMULIA solutions make it possible to achieve a system that meets requirements more quickly.
The implementation of the solutions will make it possible to:
Standardise and deploy new collaborative working methods.- To have an optimal management of information and know-how.
- Reuse components and processes.
- Control product modifications.
- Adapt to new customer requirements and comply with different regulations.
- Innovate on technical solutions.
- Develop a wider range of products to meet international expectations.
- Better support for key customers.
- Increase in agility and portability of studies and production equipment.
- Establish relevant partnerships.
OFFERS
Participate in new bids, develop a product in due form, meet delivery deadlines with Bid to Win
