DaimlerChrysler gains benefits from using IBM PLM solutions

1 April 2002

DaimlerChrysler has started deployment of IBM Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, notably CATIA V5 and CAA applications developed by Dassault Systémes for vehicle interior design and vehicle packaging. The company has already reported efficiency and productivity gains for product conceptual design and packaging studies through its knowledge engineering initiatives and software technologies offered by the product lifecycle management solution.
"We are very pleased that DaimlerChrysler has started the deployment of our CATIA V5 and ENOVIA V5 solutions," said Bruno Latchague, executive vice president of research and development, Dassault Systémes. "Our 3D PLM solutions will help DaimlerChrysler make a quantum leap in innovative product design while reducing cycle times, streamlining manufacturing and cutting production costs. This will unleash creativity and leverage the knowledge and innovation of designers and engineers."
Using CATIA V5 Knowledgeware and Product Structure capability associated with ENOVIA V5 for Data Management, DaimlerChrysler's Technical Computer Center (TCC) is developing knowledge-driven applications for interior, chassis, powertrain and body-in-white domains, and a set of new tools for quick conceptual design and packaging studies. TCC supports all Chrysler Group engineering activities using advanced computing technologies.
"The Knowledge Engineering approach gives us the opportunity to integrate highly efficient design, engineering and manufacturing technologies into the product creation process and the management of the product life cycle," adds Hugh Cumming, department manager of Knowledge Engineering, Modeling and Management of TCC.
