Boeing Deploys Dassault Systemes Update to Digital Tools for 787
Global Team
LE BOURGET, France, June 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing (NYSE:BA) is the
first company to deploy the latest updates to the V5 Product Lifecycle
Management (PLM) software suite by Dassault Systemes
(NASDAQ:DASTYNASDAQ:Euronext Paris:NASDAQ:#13065NASDAQ:DSY.PA), including
CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA. The introduction included Boeing sites as well as
members of the global 787 team.
The update, known as Release 15 (R15), provides the global 787 Dreamliner team
with improved integration between its ENOVIA collaboration backbone and DELMIA
manufacturing definition tool. The team can better access and manipulate
critical product information in real time. The V5R15 software also better
integrates updates between designs and assembly information - eliminating the
need for 2D installation drawings.
"Our global team started using the software updates only two days after
Dassault Systemes made it available," said Mike Bair, vice president and
general manager of the 787 program for Boeing. "The improvements to the
software are helping us reduce the time necessary to make design changes and
virtually modify and test parts." The V5 PLM application suite is part of an overall approach to managing the
international collaboration, known as the Global Collaboration Environment
(GCE), on the 787 program. In this virtual environment, Boeing and its
partners are using V5 PLM applications to design, build and test every aspect
of the 787 airplane and its manufacturing processes digitally and before
production begins.
"Boeing and Dassault Systemes are partners in developing the software solutions
that are enabling the global 787 team to leverage its strengths and work
together even across many different time zones and geographic regions," said
Dave Fennell, vice president, Boeing Information Systems and Boeing PLM.
"Boeing's continued trust in Dassault Systemes' solutions for the remarkable
787 Dreamliner demonstrates the robustness and global capabilities of V5 with
CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA, all together," said Bernard Charles, president and
CEO, Dassault Systemes. "This rapid rollout is the result of a close-knit
partnership between Boeing and Dassault Systemes and demonstrates the power of
the GCE and the value that V5 PLM can quickly bring to any company." Boeing 787 Dreamliner The 787 is a family of three super-efficient airplanes that will provide
