Dassault Wins PACE Award for DELMIA
 AUBURN
HILLS, MI, May 11, 2009 - Dassault Systems (DS) (Euronext
Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) solutions has announced that its DELMIA Automation solution
was recognized as a 2009 Automotive News PACE (Premiere Automotive
Suppliers’ Contribution to Excellence) Award Winner. In its 15th year, the
PACE Awards are one of the global automotive industry’s highest honors,
acknowledging suppliers for superior innovation, technological advancement
and business performance.
Awarded under the PACE Information Technology category, DELMIA Automation
software makes it possible for manufacturing engineers to create a virtual
production cell or line that includes all devices and their behavior in
order to test how a line will perform prior to any physical build. Using the
virtual line with the actual PLC controller that will be on the factory
floor, months before the line is assembled, saves weeks on the commissioning
of the production line.
“We are truly honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Philippe
Charlès, CEO, DELMIA, Dassault Systems. “It is gratifying to be recognized
for our commitment to developing efficient solutions that enable innovation
within the automotive industry, helping it to survive and thrive amidst
today’s challenges.”
According to a study performed by analyst ARC Advisory Group, early
implementations of DELMIA Automation have identified an average of 100
mechanical and electrical errors in logic, HMI, and drawings per
manufacturing cell. Identification and correction of these issues prior to
physical build eliminates two to three man weeks per startup, saving
thousands of dollars in engineering and production labor costs. This
economic benefit, especially, has become increasingly important for
sustainable businesses today.
The 15th annual Automotive News PACE Awards competition was open to
suppliers that contribute products, processes, materials or services
directly to manufacture cars or trucks. Winners were chosen following an
extensive review by industry, academic and business leaders including a
comprehensive written application and site visit. DELMIA’s award application
referenced recent DELMIA Automation projects with a major OEM.
The world’s leading vehicle manufacturers rely on Dassault Systems PLM
solutions, comprised of CATIA for 3D design, DELMIA for digital
manufacturing, ENOVIA for collaboration, and SIMULIA for realistic
simulation. The company’s software and services allow businesses of any size
to digitally define and simulate products, as well as the process and
resources required to manufacture, maintain and recycle them to improve the
environment.
