Vélizy-Villacoublay/Munich.
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris:
FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) and BMW Group today embarked
on a long-term strategic partnership to develop BMW Group’s future
engineering platform featuring Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE
platform at its core. More than 17,000 employees across multiple
engineering disciplines at the premium automobile manufacturer will
rely on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to accelerate the development of all
vehicles, from their ideation to their production.
In an industry where quick time to market of sustainable mobility
solutions with advanced technology is a competitive differentiator,
the partnership between Dassault Systèmes and BMW Group is testimony
to the fundamental role of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in enabling
companies to deliver products faster. The platform’s virtual twin
experiences streamline enterprise-wide collaboration and deliver
data-driven approaches to manage the exponential complexity carmakers
are facing in connected, autonomous vehicle engineering.
“We will only optimize our engineering process if we think digital,
work connected and rely on an integrated data. For the BMW Group the
3DEXPERIENCE platform will support this approach and help to reach a
higher level of quality in our processes,” said Julien Hohenstein,
Vice President Processes, Digitalization, Governance Idea to Offer at
the BMW Group research and development.
With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at the core of BMW Group’s future
product development environment, all BMW Group engineering disciplines
will be working on a virtual twin of a vehicle that can be configured
for the variants of each model with real-time, integrated data. Teams
can reuse components more easily, master the complexity of car
variability, and improve the engineering to manufacturing cycle time.
In addition, BMW Group can seamlessly migrate data from its existing
IT solutions and extend its engineering platform to other disciplines
such as modeling and simulation.
The strategic partnership between Dassault Systèmes and BMW Group
marks the next phase in their long-term collaboration. For decades,
the two companies have pooled their knowledge and know-how to advance
technological innovation in areas including production planning and
scheduling, part design and production efficiency.
“BMW Group and Dassault Systèmes are technology-driven companies that
are entering a new era of shared innovation to deliver best-in-class
products,” said Laurence Montanari, Vice President, Transportation
& Mobility Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “With the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform, BMW Group can rethink its engineering development process to
deliver the most personalized and sustainable experiences to its customers.”
