Grundfos deployed CATIA V5 and ENOVIA VPLM across 15 global sites to support concurrent engineering, design reuse, and knowledge capture. The system enabled 450 users in R&D and manufacturing to work from a single repository, apply intelligent templates, and run FEM analysis directly in the design environment. Results included halved assembly design time, ten-fold analysis productivity gains, and 80% reduction in production error costs.

Key takeaways

Concurrent engineering with ENOVIA VPLM reduced pump assembly line development time by 50%.

CATIA knowledge templates and part reuse increased design efficiency for tools and test beds by 20%.

FEM analysis integrated in CATIA cut mold validation time and cost by a factor of ten.

Single PLM repository enabled 70% of new production line designs to reuse existing validated components.

Global replication strategy with ENOVIA and DB2 supports concurrent engineering across Denmark, US, and China.
