JSC Tyazhmash, a Russian heavy machinery manufacturer, deployed Dassault Systemes CATIA and ENOVIA SmarTeam to shorten design and engineering cycles for complex industrial equipment. The PLM tools enabled automatic modeling of large installations, replaced manual drafting, and supported integration with 5-axis milling and inspection systems. Results included an 80% production increase and 50% reduction in rejects, plus improved contract win rates through better quality and faster delivery.
