Software decreases 'time-to-market'
DELMIA'S Process Engineering is a radically different manufacturing engineering portfolio of modules utilising the most current methodologies within an integrated IT environment.
Through 3D PLM, customers can optimize their business processes relating to engineering, manufacturing, maintenance and support within collaborative workspaces.
By sharing a common Product, Process, and Resource model (PPR), companies can capture, share and reuse knowledge throughout the product lifecycle.
The Component Application Architecture (CAA) V5 open architecture allows extension and integration of this solution within multiple company environments.

Simulation avoids robot collisions
DELMIA'S QUEST and UltraSpot have contributed significantly to Sanyo Machine Works' objectives of shortening design validation time and improving system quality.
Process Centric - Delmia V5R8 solutions integrate all capabilities required to engineer the manufacturing process.
These include Delmia Process Engineer for process planning, Delmia V5 DPM for 3D process detailing, Delmia Robotics, Delmia Human Modeling for 3D process simulation and validation, as well as Delmia QUEST for factory flow optimization.
These technologies help manufacturing decision making by linking in product design and production system constraints.
Delmia delivers end-to-end solutions that are dedicated to critical customer manufacturing processes covering powertrain, final assembly and body-in-white in the automotive industry, airframe assembly in aerospace and general assembly processes across manufacturing industry.
Delmia QUEST is linked into the PPR hub for the first time with V5R8.
Delmia Process Engineer can be used to create the initial QUEST model as the CAD and data requirements are held within the PPR hub.
This saves time and ensures that the model is built and incrementally updated using the data defined in the manufacturing concept.
The user could then enhance the model further by adding any additional data logics and constraints.
In addition, should the user change the lay -out, or any of its parameters in an attempt to optimize the design, then these data changes can also be reflected in the PPR hub.
For the automotive body-in-white process, Delmia DPM Body-in-White delivers functionalities for weld allocation, weld gun definition and detailing, as well as sequencing of weld operations.
These are the key drivers for improving quality and efficiency of the body manufacturing process.
In V5R8, the Body-in-White offering is further enhanced, with dedicated features for weld management and Gantt-based editing that improves ease of use for process definition and optimization as well as weld-point balancing.
With V5R8, Delmia Process Engineer delivers enhanced cost calculation with target-cost management and broader support of standards for time measurement.
Delmia Robotics improves clash detection during robot programming and work cell optimization thanks to automatic robot placement.
3D Collaborative Workspace - Delmia V5R8 end-to-end solutions increase and facilitate interactions between all parties participating in product engineering, manufacturing engineering and production planning.
Throughout an organization, it will increase agility, encourage innovation, and permit quick and easy iterations in any manufacturing process definition.
Delmia V5R8 offers all necessary capability for conducting virtual manufacturing reviews.
This capability is a 3D-based process, with an assembly and layout review that can be performed at any time, by anyone, on a complete and current view of the PPR definitions and dependencies.
It also enables cross-organizational simulation and validation of all change proposals for PPR definitions.
PPR - With PPR integration across 3D PLM solutions, PPR collaborative engineering becomes a reality, increasing the efficiency of the overall development process and providing effective sharing of design and manufacturing information across all organizations.
Delmia V5R8 end-to-end solutions serve to author and share process and resource information relative to product definition.
Improved access to configured product information from ENOVIA allows engineers to define, simulate and optimize the associated manufacturing processes in full context with the product and its associated resources.
Delmia V5R8 also improves multiple concurrent sharing of PPR information and extends this information to include factory flow simulation through Delmia QUEST's PPR access.
Pascal Lecland, Executive Vice President of R and D, Delmia Corp., said: "Think of the Dassault Systemes' PPR Hub as a pipeline that allows collaborative and concurrent engineering early in a product's lifecycle.
In essence, DS PPR Hub enables individuals responsible for the various engineering tasks associated with the manufacturing process to have access to information generated by others." Knowledge - Seamless integration through process planning, simulation and off-line programming allows for the design, capture and reuse of processes based on an incremental and successively refined methodology.
A company's extensive knowledge and best practices can be captured and shared to support reuse, derivation and carry over of process engineering and production resources.
