Awarded under the PACE Information Technology category, DELMIA Automation software makes it possible for manufacturing engineers to create a virtual production cell or line that includes all devices and their behavior in order to test how a line will perform prior to any physical build. Using the virtual line with the actual PLC controller that will be on the factory floor, months before the line is assembled, saves weeks on the commissioning of the production line.
“We are truly honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Philippe Charlès, CEO, DELMIA, Dassault Systèmes. “It is gratifying to be recognized for our commitment to developing efficient solutions that enable innovation within the automotive industry, helping it to survive and thrive amidst today’s challenges.”
According to a study performed by analyst ARC Advisory Group, early implementations of DELMIA Automation have identified an average of 100 mechanical and electrical errors in logic, HMI, and drawings per manufacturing cell. Identification and correction of these issues prior to physical build eliminates two to three man weeks per startup, saving thousands of dollars in engineering and production labor costs. This economic benefit, especially, has become increasingly important for sustainable businesses today.
The 15th annual Automotive News PACE Awards competition was open to suppliers that contribute products, processes, materials or services directly to manufacture cars or trucks. Winners were chosen following an extensive review by industry, academic and business leaders including a comprehensive written application and site visit. DELMIA’s award application referenced recent DELMIA Automation projects with a major OEM.
