Automation Technology Group (ATG) needed to remove interfaces between design and production teams when building custom manufacturing facilities. The company deployed Dassault Systemes CATIA for 3D product design and DELMIA for virtual factory layout, robotics programming, and process simulation. The single-platform approach enabled concurrent engineering, offline robot programming, and virtual commissioning before physical build-out.

Key takeaways

Integrated CATIA-DELMIA environment removed CAD-to-production data conversions

DELMIA DPM and Robotics modules allowed full virtual validation of body-in-white lines

Offline robot programming and virtual commissioning reduced physical try-out time

Simulation of carbon-fiber composite assembly processes confirmed weight-reduction targets

Concurrent design and planning workflows shortened overall project lead times
