SOFTWARE UPDATE NEWS ABOUT DIGITAL MANUFACTURING TOOLS AND SOFTWARE
Service Data is Key to Unlocking IoT Success Manufacturing Engineering: What’s the potential for the
s
Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data improving manufactur- ing productivity?
Philippe Bartissol: What our customers in industrial equipment are really interested in, even if they do not voice it, is systems engineering, digital manufacturing, and after-sales service. When I go to Germany, they have this initiative they call Industry 4.0, everybody is talking about offering intelligent products or intelligent systems. But how is it possible to dis- cuss IoT or Big Data and not implement system engineering within the company? These companies are not selling me- chanical products any more. This is no longer a mechanical industry—this is an intelligent product industry, unless you do very simple mechanical parts. As long as you do machines or pieces of machines or equipment, you are offering intelligent systems. But there is a paradox. They are talking a lot about IoT, Big Data, but they do not organize themselves properly from a product development, manufacturing and even ser- vice standpoint, so systems engineering is really a key there.
The second one is digital manufacturing, because if you have maybe 10 or 20 plants worldwide, you need to simulate and optimize your processes in each factory, link to your product—so if your product changes, your production pro- cesses are changing—and you need to model and simulate your network offerings. ME: What is your industrial equipment focus; does this
refer to mostly automation systems on the factory fl oor? Bartissol: We’re talking mostly about machine subsys- tems, a pump or compressor, even a motion controller, and then also the machines themselves, whether they are in a

production plant or machines in process industries such as power systems. We’re also talking about heavy mobile, such as excavators for construction, agricultural heavy mobile equipment, and then also heavy mobile equipment for min- ing. This also includes factory fl oor equipment or mobile, smaller pieces of equipment like subsets of machines or heavy mobile. We have some specialized industries such as the elevator industry and the tire industry. You’d be surprised how present we are the tire industry. We’re present in about 80% of the 10 biggest players worldwide. ME: Describe your company’s continued expansion into
new areas, including manufacturing execution systems [MES] and manufacturing operations management [MOM] software. Bartissol: In digital software, we have the whole thing. If you look at Delmia, we have a lot of capabilities in NC ma- chining for toolpath, but we also now have Apriso for MES. We acquired a company called Quintic about a year ago, and Apriso was in July 2013. Now, not only can we model the production processes, but we can provide the MOM—the

manufacturing operations management, and then we are starting to put in the scheduling with Quintic. It’s a completely different game now, from Delmia some years ago to what we have now, and we will expand even further. We recently had the big manufacturing forum in Japan for 500 Japanese executives, and we presented a scenario where we have a dataset with an excavator, that’s heavy mobile, and showed different scenarios in the plant for manufacturing the excavator, where we had the assembly processes, the BOM, the scheduling, and then we also simulated a change request from a customer. The customer changed what he wanted
