Dassault Renames DELMIA Corp.
 AUBURN
HILLS,
MI, Mar 27, 2008 -Dassault Systems (DS) (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris:
#13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
solutions, announced that it has changed the name of its North American
location from DELMIA Corp. to Dassault Systems DELMIA Corp. This office
serves as the North American Automotive Business Unit as well as the world
headquarters for the DELMIA Digital Manufacturing brand. The name was
changed so customers can better recognize the synergy of the entire DS PLM
portfolio inclusive of CATIA for design, DELMIA for process development,
ENOVIA for data management and collaboration, and SIMULIA for realistic
simulation.
The North American office is located just north of Detroit where it
supports the automotive industry, the largest manufacturing sector in the
United States. The use of 3D digital design and manufacturing solutions
among automotive OEM and Tier suppliers continues to increase as companies
discover the proven benefits being gained with a PLM strategy. All of the
world’s major automakers use DS PLM solutions, with CATIA itself
productively used by 23 out of 30 OEMs. Additionally, over 75 percent of new
vehicles are being designed in CATIA.*
“Our Dassault Systems CATIA customer installed base is taking the action
to implement DELMIA for its manufacturing planning needs as a natural next
step in developing a single source comprehensive PLM strategy,” said Patrick
Michel, vice president industry solutions and marketing, Dassault Systems
DELMIA Corp. “The automotive manufacturing community needs to recognize that
digital manufacturing technologies have gone far beyond point solutions into
comprehensive technologies specifically packaged for domains such as
Body-in-White. The DELMIA Body-in-White solution allows process planners to
define the overall process by identifying welding points and tools, validate
the throughput, identify potential bottlenecks, and modify the line as
needed.”
Digital manufacturing solutions are being implemented at many leading
OEMs around the world, demonstrating benefits that include shortened product
development cycles, reduced manufacturing costs, improved product quality,
and early validation of manufacturing processes.
“An enormous time reduction has been achieved since we began implementing
the DELMIA digital factory tools. We regard the digital factory as a working
tool serving to make our processes more efficient,” outlines Dr. Markus Baur,
project manager in Production at Skoda auto a.s., an affiliated company of
the Volkswagen Group.
Another major automotive customer shared similar sentiments about the
benefits of Dassault Systems’ DELMIA solutions contributing to their
success. “With DELMIA Process Engineer, we have the opportunity to play out
various scenarios, to arrive at the ideal mix in terms of how many work
cycles and employees we need,” explains Thorsten Franz, process planner at
the newest MAN truck assembly plant in Niepolomice, Poland. “We have already
achieved significant synergies from the collaboration among the Logistics,
Technology and Assembly Divisions, and achieved considerable cost savings.”
This U.S. location will also continue to support the DELMIA Digital
Manufacturing and DELMIA Automation business for other vertical industries
segments including industrial equipment, consumer goods, aerospace,
shipbuilding, construction, and electronics.
