and multiphysics simulation software, and the Delmia digital manufacturing applications. Many Dassault Systèmes customers, including Cummins, Saint-Gobain, and Alstom Transport, are fi nding value in digitizing manufacturing processes in order to guide, control and synchronize manu- facturing operations, said Tom Comstock, Delmia vice president, Strategy and Digital Production. “In that environment, you need to be much closer to the engineering world and the manufacturing world,” Comstock said. “The traditional digital manufacturing of Delmia is right in the middle of that mix, doing the simulation and process planning for manufacturing, then we take that and make it digitally executable, to improve manufacturing effi ciency and quality—and do all that while you’re rolling out all these new products.” The race to compress design cycles can cause major problems in the supply chain, as evidenced by hiccups with high-profi le commercial aircraft programs at Airbus and Boeing. “In aerospace, you’ve got huge supply-chain challenges,” Comstock said. “What I think a lot of companies are fi nding, with the news about the Airbus A380 and the Dreamliner, is that some of the designs were not manufacturable and were not able to be consistently manufactured. In high-tech, it’s often how you get to yield to get to a profi table product, as opposed to a losing product. How do you get to those high yields quickly? The

digital environment really allows you to do that.” Adding Apriso’s MES, Dassault dramatically cut time on new developments, reducing two years to just six months. “That’s the key reason Dassault Systèmes acquired Apriso, because of our capabil- ity to move manufacturing processes across loca- tions, and synchronize those updates across multiple locations,” Comstock said. The digital manufacturing systems reduce time, the cost of all the manufacturing engineering, and the cost of engineering changes. “I can’t afford to wait, because I need to get to volume production as quickly as possible.”
