Lippert Components migrated from ENOVIA SmarTeam to ENOVIA V6 on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to overcome limits with 7,000-configuration SOLIDWORKS files and to add program management and PLM-based MBOM. The project migrated over 2 million SOLIDWORKS objects and 225,000 non-CAD records while shifting from document-centric to part-centric data management. Reported outcomes include up to 30% faster assembly file loads and 25% reduction in product documentation handoff time.

Key takeaways

ENOVIA V6 resolved SOLIDWORKS configuration limits that blocked upgrades in SmarTeam

Migration handled 2M+ SOLIDWORKS objects and 185K ECNs with part-centric data model

MBOM ownership moved from ERP to PLM to create gated lifecycle and reduce transcription errors

Assembly file load time reduced up to 30% and documentation handoff reduced up to 25%

Out-of-the-box quality management system integrated with PLM for CAPA, NCRs, and audits
