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.
The addition of Delmia expands its use of PLM to include manufacturing.
CMC will use Delmia to simulate and visualise end-to-end automotive production processes.
The goal of the digital factory project is to reduce development costs and time, improve worker safety, and enhance product quality.
Under the terms of the contract, CMC will deploy Delmia products Quest, Igrip and Virtual NC (for product resource modelling and simulation) and Process Engineer (for process planning) at its plants in Taoyuan and Shinchu.
Dassault Systemes' PLM solutions are integrated through a unique PPR (product, process, resource) model.
PPR will enable CMC product development teams, suppliers and customers to collaborate in a 3D work environment throughout the development lifecycle of a vehicle.
The integration of Dassault Systemes' solutions is one of the key factors behind CMC's decision to select Delmia for its digital factory.
"Integration of the Design and Manufacturing processes through Catia, Enovia and Delmia is essential for us to enhance CMC's leading position in the competitive Asian automotive market", said Samuel Jong, Executive Vice President, CMC.
"We consider Delmia Corp's contribution through their PPR integrated expertise, extensive product portfolio, and skills in training, consultation and services as key constituents leading to the success of the CMC's digital factory project".
"Delmia digital manufacturing solutions will help CMC achieve its strategic plans to reduce time-to-market by enabling collaboration between design, product engineering and manufacturing teams", said Bertrand Saint-Martin, Vice President Asia Pacific Operations, Delmia Corp.
"CMC is a key player in Taiwan and in the Chinese car market.
Its decision to implement a full Catia, Enovia and Delmia deployment is an major endorsement of the strength of the Dassault Systemes PLM portfolio".
