Industrial Equipment

Industrial equipment includes manufacturers of machines, tools, equipment, or vehicles that are utilized in the production, extraction, harvesting, or handling of other products.

 

The evolving trends of the Fourth Industrial Revolution—such as automation, IoT, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, networked communications, machine learning, and cloud computing—represent a transformative shift in our work processes and customer interactions. These cutting-edge technologies are delivering advanced and disruptive Industrial Equipment solutions that facilitate the creation, production, and delivery of sophisticated and efficient machinery, equipment, and components.

Enhance performance through genuine concurrent engineering and unleash the power of collaboration for innovation.

Concurrent Equipment Engineering offers the advantages of true concurrent engineering, enabling all stakeholders to collaborate seamlessly on the same engineering data without the need for exchange or conversion. Built on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, it integrates various engineering disciplines—design, engineering, simulation, and manufacturing—within a unified environment, facilitating a bi-directional flow of digital information.

This approach ensures digital continuity for managing all engineering, simulation, and manufacturing data consistently. It effectively dismantles information silos between these and other business areas, fostering improved collaboration and speeding up operational processes.

Digital Equipment Continuity will help you integrate a unified product change and configuration management including link to the ERP and ultimately connect all enterprise communities on a single platform to ensure your customer satisfaction.
