The Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation (LMS) at University of Patras applied Dassault Systemes DELMIA and 3DVIA to design and validate robotic welding cells for EU automotive assembly research. DELMIA enabled collision detection, trajectory validation, and configuration testing that could not be performed with conventional math tools. The team also used 3DVIA for VR-based design reviews and ENOVIA for collaborative manufacturing data management across research projects.

Key takeaways

DELMIA simulation validated collision-free robot trajectories for dual-robot welding cells

Cycle time for the robotic cell was reduced by 3% through digital configuration testing

Digital validation shortened physical implementation time versus manual shop-floor testing

3DVIA VR environment supported student training and early design error detection

ENOVIA centralized manufacturing process data for multi-partner research collaboration
