CLAAS, a leading agricultural equipment manufacturer, implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to support international expansion and manage complex product data across global sites. The platform enables concurrent engineering between mechanical, electrical, and hydraulics teams, digital simulation before manufacturing, and single-source data access. Benefits include reduced design errors, less production waste, faster time-to-market, and the ability to upgrade machines over long lifecycles without full redesigns.

Key takeaways

Global design and production sites access a single source of truth for product data

Concurrent engineering across disciplines reduces redesign costs and production errors

Digital simulation and ergonomics checks occur before physical prototypes are built

Design reuse and lifecycle upgrades are supported without duplicating data

Platform supports digital transformation strategy from ideation through service
