MANUFACTURING & SUPPLY CHAIN SOFTWARE Dassault Systèmes zeroes in on high-tech manufacturers’ supply chain worries

its manufacturing BOM, Olivier Ribet, VP for high tech industry / Internet of Things at Dassault Systèmes, told customers and partners in Shanghai during his fi rm’s Manu- facturing in the Age of Experience event in November. The Swedish fi rm is just one example of the work the

French fi rm Dassault Systèmes is doing with companies around the world to manage eff ectively variants and confi gurations in engineering and manufacturing BOMs— which are a hot topic in the industry “knowing that manu- facturing is largely distributed globally,” Ribet said in an interview with Smart Manufacturing magazine. To collaborate successfully, the mechanical engineers, electrical and electronics engineers, systems and simu- lation as well as software specialists involved in a new telecom product must all end up at exactly the same place—with BOMs that take into account everything from tooling capabilities, assembly line specifi cities and mate- rial characteristics in each individual shop fl oor. “We partnered with Ericsson, leveraging Apriso, to
ensure that their engineering teams, wherever they are in the world, can have a real-time view of the manufacturing
hen Ericsson engineers and devel- opers devise new telecommunica- tions equipment, they use Apriso software from Dassault Systèmes to ensure that the product’s engineer- ing BOM (bill of materials) matches
capability and performance” Ribet said. “As they design and engineer that product, the system will tell them, ‘Okay, you’re good to go: There’s no major problem with what you were designing and engineering right now.’ Or, ‘Careful! You’re starting to use components—a microcontroller, a chip, a connector or cable or whatever—that you will not be able to assemble in this factory because you don’t have the tools or the robots or the people here to do this kind of work’.” Dassault Systèmes held this manufacturing and supply
chain event in China to sustain and accelerate its growth with Chinese high-tech fi rms and establish new distribu- tor and integrator partnerships. And to do so, it spoke openly about its work with not only Ericsson but also Fujitsu Hitachi, NXP or NEC. The message: More than any other industry, high tech
takes the cake when it comes to being defi ned by manu- facturing and supply-chain. “No other industry can live and die as quickly as high-tech if it succeeds or fails in manufacturing and supply chain,” Ribet said in the inter- view with Smart Manufacturing. Dassault Systèmes in the last few years has been “in-
vesting quite signifi cantly in manufacturing and supply chain software and industry solutions,” he added. It has built knowledge in the software segment working with its core customers, in transportation and mobility, aero- space and defense, industrial equipment and advanced high-tech companies.
