Delmia Pushes Its Digital Manufacturing Software Beyond Automobiles
Summary
The company, based in Auburn Hills, MI, is one of the world’s biggest players in digital manufacturing–the use of sophisticated 3D software that simulates the working of manufacturing plant before it goes into operation.With digital manufacturing, companies essentially perform a virtual dry run on a planned production facility, allowing engineers to figure out where to best position workers, equipment, supplies and tools and in what order.To prevent accidents and workplace injuries, the software can also factor in detailed demographic information on workers, including gender, height, weight, and languages.“Manufacturing productivity must be ever increased and producers must constantly look for ways to meet the faster, better, cheaper mantra of today’s economy,” according to a report by CIMdata, a research firm in Ann Arbor, MI.In March, Dassault paid $36.5 million to acquire Intercim, based in St. Paul, MN, a manufacturing software maker that specializes in life sciences.
