Challenges

Industrial designers, mechanical engineers, marketers, project managers, manufacturing planners and other decision-makers in any industry face daily challenges during the product development process.

They now need to experience their design, with its volumes and proportions in a life-like environment which cannot be achieved on a computer-screen alone.

Immersive Virtual Reality provides an intuitive way to push the boundaries of creativity. Designers and engineers can virtually create model of anything and examine in real-time and can collaborate with the team to make the design precise and efficient, while a marketer can better influence the user experience for more personal and emotional impact.

IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform frees users to virtual design revolutionary and connected products, systems, infrastructures or even cities. 

This enables the modeling of innovative ideas, and the opportunity to experience them before they even exist.

Viewing and manipulating data with very high resolution in an interactive and immersive environment improves the 3DEXPERIENCE by putting users at the heart of the virtual product.

IMMERSIVE VISUAL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL

The Immersive Visual Experience role provides the ability to run 3DEXPERIENCE applications in virtual environments and on head-mounted displays.

This immersive experience is available on every desktop, with support of the HTC Vive head-mounted display, within CATIA and on native data, without a specialized viewer and without translating data.

The truly immersive experience and natural navigation bring an enhanced spatial understanding of the product design for faster and more accurate design decisions. CATIA brings VR to everyone in one click.

Benefits

  • Works directly with a wide range of VR technologies from entry-level to high-end systems: HMD, CAVE, Powerwall
  • Stereoscopic rendering in real-time enables life-sized and spatial reviews of a 3D product
  • Supports both passive and active stereo rendering systems
  • User tracking capabilities for head and hands allow the user to interact naturally with the 3D scene

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Easy evaluation of designs in realistic environments and lighting situations in real-time
  • Accessible at any stage of product design to help make accurate design decisions
  • Study colors, material, volume, proportions, and 3D Human
  • User tracking & navigation capabilities
  • Tracking integration via VRPN

If you’re a mid-sized manufacturer, your product manufacturing are probably getting more complex. You may be experimenting with new materials, new designs, making smarter products, using new product techniques or all of them. like most of mid-sized manufacturer, you’re working with partners and your supply chain is pretty fragmented. How do you keep everything under control?, How to prevent mistakes? Is PLM the best solution for these problems?

“Report shows that top performing companies are 85% more likely to use PLM than other midsized and small sized manufacturers”

What top performing companies are doing differently with PLM?

It is a great option with proven ROI .It offers significant benefits to the top and bottom lines by increased productivity, reducing mistakes, and even improving innovation and time to market. Most importantly for mid-sized manufacturers, it helps companies to stay agile and closer to their customers.

The truth is no one knows the capabilities of PLM Software. Once you understand what it is and capabilities of it you will find it simple. It makes the Production life-cycle transparent. 

Most of the mid-sized and small manufacturers are using traditional way of controlling their manufacturing process and Data.  But those tools lack control, security, and other important features necessary to help manage data.

PLM Solution

PDM is another option. It offers a lot of value by helping manufacturers control, access, and share product data. That might help small manufacturers. But mid-sized companies typically need more of what PLM provides: collaboration, compliance, project management, and support for more cross-departmental processes. Perhaps that’s why the Top Performers use more of the capabilities it offers.

The truth is  PLM doesn’t have to cost a lot of money and take a lot of time to implement. Investing in it creates a foundation for larger benefits in the future days.  But they need to look into the future to know what kinds of capabilities they can benefit from. 

There are lot’s of solution available in the market so It is important to you that what you need from a PLM solution and which Solution to choose. When everything meets your requirement you will take the best out of your Production manufacturing.
