Dassault Systemes: To tackle supply chain disruptions amid pandemic, Dassault Systemes introduces DELMIAworks for manufacturing enterprises

Offering a single collaborative environment, DELMIAworks connects the entire design to the manufacturing process. An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) suite of applications, it includes real-time internet of things (IoT) solution for production and process monitoring focused on increasing operational efficiency and transparency across organisations.

Its single database design eliminates data silos and costly third-party integration by automatically mapping data from front office oriented ERP activities to shop floor oriented MES activities.

Empowering manufacturers to plan, schedule, monitor, manage, analyze and report on the end-to-end manufacturing process, it provides real-time visibility and control over the entire manufacturing supply chain.

Chintan Shah, CFO, Shaily Engineering Plastics, one of the early adopters of the technology, says that the MES-realtime systems from DELMIAworks enabled them to follow real-time production and quality tracking, performance management by order, inventory valuation and inventory tracking. “This assists us in providing a promised delivery date to the customer, therefore increasing customer satisfaction. Apart from visibility of machine utilisation at all levels on a real time basis, there is constant watch on cost of poor quality and material yield with deeper insight to it. Such a high level of collaboration calls for a single digital environment that will bring this ecosystem together,” he says.

The suite of ERP and MES functionality with a single database architecture provides comprehensive interoperability and drill-down capability from order and production, to inventory and shipping functions.

Besides this, it connects enterprises to other aspects for digital transformation as well. “DELMIAworks also connects businesses to the 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace, giving them access to companies that can help with manufacturing engineering and executing manufacturing services such as contract manufacturing and on-demand part supplies, which are key factors for manufacturing growth in any country,” PM Ravikumar, India Management Director, Dassault Systèmes said in a statement.
