News and innovations

The 3DExperience is one Cloud based platform from Dassault Systèmes, which provides integrated solutions for Product development, project management and lifecycle management (PLM) in an integrated environment. These are constantly evolving to meet your growing needs and make your design and development work easier. Below we present you the new developments and news from the 3DExperience platform:

Virtual twins and robotics make you competitive

Dassault Omron 3D ExperienceOct 05.10.2023, XNUMX | Dassault Systèmes demonstrates at the PLC 2023 together with Omron and Ecosphere the power virtual twins for automation and Robotic. Are you also exposed to increasing competitive pressure, a persistent shortage of skilled workers and/or changing customer demands?

Then visit stand 108/110 in Hall 6. The partners will demonstrate how there Automationssolutions support the manufacturing industry in meeting such current challenges with the help of the 3DExperience platform from Dassault Systèmes. This clears the way for efficient and sustainable development and production.

Partner know-how from Omron and Ecosphere

The focus of the showcase with Omron is the virtual twin of a fully automated and flexible production line with handlingRobot and mobile robots.

With the help of the 3DExperience platform, entire process chains can be mapped, tested and optimized virtually before the actual product production. The use of the 3D Experience platform is also illustrated using a modular robot handling cell from ecosphere. This can be used as Manual workstation or operated fully automatically. This makes it easier for manufacturing companies to get started with automation.

New functionalities from Solidworks Electrical within mechanical construction will also be presented at the SPS. With all three topics you will experience the future of production.
