DELMIA Automation helps to significantly reduce product launch time by allowing manufacturers to test, Validate, and debug your system before physical commissioning. DELMIA Automation offers powerful solutions for control engineering and automation lifecycle management that enables validation of this Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) against a virtual machine, a cell, or an entire line and the performance analysis of these systems.
DELMIA Automation solutions allow the control engineer to leverage the virtual model of the machine or cell to explore different “what if?” scenarios that are otherwise very difficult to validate. What if one robot is running slow? What happens when the line transitions from product A to product B? How will the system react to an operator hitting the emergency switch, and how the machine will start again after the emergency stop to resume full production rate? -- Weeks before integration of all components and systems occur, the control engineer can test all fault conditions, saving costly down time once the system is in production.
In addition to testing and debugging the PLC code, DELMIA Automation solutions allows the engineer to perform a virtual integration of all devices and check the engineering in the different disciplines. Are the hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical systems complete and properly defined? DELMIA Automation allows control departments to work in parallel and share information with mechanical and electrical departments earlier in the development process allowing optimization of engineering processes.

Design for the entire product lifecycle
Manufacturing companies are driven by increasing pressure to develop innovative products in shorter time frames, while maintaining high levels of quality. Even with mature, capable 3D CAD technology, many companies have failed to significantly improve their design processes, and the benefits of lower costs and shorter cycle times remain elusive.
Transformation of product development begins with the design process, which fuels the entire product lifecycle – from simulation and analysis through tooling design, manufacturing, assembly, service and support.

Freeform Shape Modeling
NX Shape Studio is a tailored styling and industrial design package that offers the freedom and accuracy designers need to explore shapes and what-if styling in the conceptual modeling phase. By seamlessly integrating curve- and surface-based modeling, NX Shape Studio puts cutting-edge CAD tools into the hands of industrial designers. At the same time, the easy-to-use toolbox fosters innovation. These flexible tools, from drag-and-drop templates to dynamic construction, enable fast, easy creation and evaluation of design alternatives while providing real-time visual feedback. And there's no worry about changes or iterations, as associativity takes care of downstream data integrity.
With Shape Studio, designers can use practically any approach or modeling technique. For example, the designer might begin modeling by using standard parametric design techniques that employ curve-driven geometry. Then, when creating contours and integrating ergonomics, the designer might use freeform techniques. Or the designer could begin modeling without precise definitions, adding geometric constraints later. Construction geometry and style details can be rapidly generated by the dynamic mapping of 3D curves onto freeform shapes. Or surfaces can be constructed using pre-set combinations of section and guide curves, with the designer monitoring impact as it occurs.
All model data transfers directly downstream. And the fully associative database ensures that any changes are automatically updated in related applications such as engineering design, assembly, drafting, simulation, and manufacturing.

Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
Shorter product development cycles are the primary driving force in manufacturing. Continuous innovation and change in designs require more and faster development of numerical control programs, molds, tools and dies required to manufacture the product. Rapid technology change is increasing the complexity of the tools and processes used in manufacturing, and new methodologies are breaking down the walls between design and manufacturing operations.
As the world leader in computer-aided manufacturing, Siemens PLM software helps companies meet the challenge with leading edge solutions. More than point solutions for discrete production tasks, the NX suite of manufacturing software links design and manufacturing to improve productivity throughout tooling and fixture design and NC machining processes.

Machinery and Equipment
As a machine designer today you are constantly facing one very clear but difficult issue: the ever increasing complexity of your product designs. Driven by market demand for new and innovative products with an increasing array of options, product complexity has multiplied exponentially in the last decade. Add the need to apply new technologies before your competitors do, customer demand for faster delivery - and the need to fit more and more capability into smaller and smaller spaces while delivering increasingly functional shapes with optimized material costs - and product complexity becomes almost impossible to manage

Companies today face a constant pressure to shorten time-to-market and increase innovation while also keeping tight control over product development costs. As a result, simulation has become a key product development activity.
However, in some cases, simulation has also become a process bottleneck and has not delivered the anticipated efficiency and productivity gains. There are several issues: stand-alone CAE tools are designed for specialists, thus limiting wider adoption; companies use multiple design and simulation software leading to numerous, error-prone data transformations; different work groups prepare models independently, duplicating effort and making it difficult to understand design trade-offs; and simulation environments are disconnected from the rest of the product lifecycle including requirements, engineering workflows and manufacturing.

The pressure to shorten time-to-market while improving product performance and quality is driving the use of digital prototyping throughout the product lifecycle. As a result, simulation data management is becoming increasingly important. According to research firm AberdeenGroup, best-in-class companies are almost twice as likely as the industry average to manage simulation and product data relationships.

Producing and selling more products does not lead to more profit – not if you can’t extract maximum production efficiency from your manufacturing operations. Building products with inefficient manufacturing operations means that you spend more time and money compensating for those inefficiencies.
Tecnomatix’s Plant Design and Optimization solution gives you 3D parametric-based smart objects to layout efficient factories faster. Utilizing 3D for factory layout also increases your ability to find design flaws during the planning process and not on the factory floor. Material flow, handling, logistics, and indirect labor can all be optimized using material flow analysis and discrete event simulation. These resource optimization techniques analyze things like part routing information and equipment capabilities against your factory layout. Even material storage needs and part packaging information can be used. You can also manage your factory layout environment with standardized resources in a shared data environment. Collectively, these capabilities promote increased planning accuracy and efficiency. This helps you to minimize capital investments and maximize production efficiency.

SOLID EDGE Wiring Harness
Solid Edge Wire Harness Design is a dedicated process driven environment for the efficient creation, routing and organization of wires, cables and bundles in a Solid Edge assembly. Wire Harness Design allows electrical and mechanical design teams to collaborate on designs to create complete and accurate digital mockups containing both mechanical and electrical components, and removes the need for expensive physical prototypes. Design violations such as exceeding physical bundle size or a bend radius being too tightly routed are constantly monitored as the harness is being designed; live feedback immediately displays any problems. Reporting of cable and wire cut length and attributes (allowing for a slack percentage and wire stripping) are captured during the harness design process. The export of ready-to-use 'net list' files adds these mechanical attributes to generate harness designs that are ready for manufacturing.
Automatic wire harness design
Once electrical engineers have developed and proven their designs using electrical prototypes (a task becoming increasingly important as the size and complexity of electrical systems increase), the harness wizard allows mechanical engineers to automatically generate and route physical wires and cables. The harness wizard uses input from dedicated electrical schematics applications such as Mentor Graphics, Cimteam and Vesys to automatically transfer any net-list components and connections to Solid Edge.
