Romania's ISPE implemented Dassault Systemes ENOVIA SmarTeam Design Express and CATIA PLM Express to replace fragmented CAD tools and manual document control. The solution delivered a single source of truth for versioning, automated BOM generation, 3D piping routing, and isometric drawing creation. Mechanical engineering teams reduced design cycle time from one month to one week on complex piping projects while improving accuracy and enabling early customer validation through web-based access.

Key takeaways

Centralized product data eliminated version conflicts across engineering disciplines

CATIA 3D modeling with automatic pipe routing reduced design time by 75%

Automated BOM generation removed manual errors in large equipment lists

ENOVIA enabled real-time collaboration between mechanical, electrical, and structural teams

Planned web access and customer portal to support early validation and workflow control
