WestRock implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform across global design and manufacturing sites to support its Insight to In-Market strategy. The solution enabled rapid 3D concept development, virtual shelf simulation, and direct transfer of designs to packaging machinery. Key capabilities include Perfect Package, Perfect Shelf, Single Source for Speed, and Smart and Synchronized Industry Solution Experiences. The platform reduced design iteration time from days to one hour and eliminated physical debugging of production equipment.

Key takeaways

Reduced new package development cycle from 18 months to 6 months

3D collaborative design replaced paper sketches for client meetings

Virtual machine simulation eliminated three-week physical debugging cycles

Global teams in six countries share a single integrated design-to-production platform

Software-driven machinery allows one asset to produce 30 package variants
