Adopts Two
Dassault Systèmes
Industry Solution Experiences:
“Modular, Glocal and Secure”
and “Target Zero Defect”
Mumbai, INDIA, 12th September 2015— Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), the
3D EXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up
and Product Life cycle Management (PLM) solutions, today announced that Ashok
Leyland, India’s
second largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, is expanding its use of
Dassault Systèmes’ 3D EXPERIENCE platform to accelerate the modular design,
validation, production and configuration management for its trucks and
buses. Ashok Leyland adopted “Modular,
Glocal and Secure” and “Target
Zero Defect,” two of DassaultSystèmes’ industry solution experiences
tailored to address the business challenges of transportation and mobility
companies.
As part of its customer-centric activities, Ashok Leyland looked
to enhance quality control and accelerate the delivery of its trucks and
buses. In addition, the company wanted
an efficient cost management solution that would address the complexity of its
product portfolio as it tailors a diverse range of products to meet shifting
market requirements.
Ashok Leyland was already using Dassault Systèmes’ 3D EXPERIENCE
platform for data management and turned to its “Modular, Glocal and Secure” and “Target Zero Defect” industry solution experiences for powerful
collaborative capabilities, virtual analysis and simulation applications that
facilitate innovative vehicle development.
“Dassault Systèmes’ industry solution experiences enable us
to focus on improving vehicle performance and reducing weight, fuel consumption
and emissions as well as prioritizing digital sculpting and surface
optimization,” said Dr. N. Saravanan, Sr., Vice President and Head of R&D, Ashok
Leyland. “The 3D EXPERIENCE platform’s
configured-to-order approach, configuration management features and unique BOM
include all variant characteristics and functional requirements. Our designers can make changes and rapidly
build new variants.”
“Modular, Glocal and Secure” accelerates global, modular vehicle programs and responds to
strategic regional requirements. Ashok
Leyland can define and develop vehicle programs with IP protection, starting
from a high-level architecture definition and supporting modularity concepts
and configuration, to minimize cost, maximize re-use, and simplify complexity
across programs, teams and locations.
“Target Zero Defect”
ensures right-the-first-time vehicle design through optimized end-to-end
development processes that connect Ashok Leyland’s engineers with partners and
suppliers in a dynamic, collaborative product creation environment. It includes high-performance virtual design
and simulation at all stages of product creation, from conceptual design to
virtual manufacturing, including powertrain, body engineering, styling and
final assembly.
“In today’s competitive market, suppliers and
manufacturers like Ashok Leyland must introduce new features faster than ever
while managing increasing vehicle and development process complexities,” said Olivier Sappin,
Vice President, Transportation & Mobility Industry, Dassault Systèmes. “This is where Dassault Systèmes’
3D EXPERIENCE platform and the industry solution experiences portfolio can play
a pivotal role, by providing one unified, digital platform with specialized
applications to help companies minimize risks and costs, automate knowledge,
facilitate changes and optimize overall performance.”
