The French government, a shareholder since 2001, sold a 15.74% stake in the company for 601 million in 2003.[3] The Dassault Gro up (as at 2011) holds 42.2%[4] shares. Dassault Systèmes moved its corporate headq uarters from Suresnes to Velizy-Villacoublay in November 2008. This new European headquarters, located in the south-western suburbs of Paris, is commonly called 3DS Paris Campus. Another campus was established in 2011 in Waltham, Massachuse tts, west of Boston (United States) and is called 3DS Boston Campus. Dassault Systèmes develops and markets PLM software solutions and services that su pport industrial processes by providing a 3D vision of the entire lifecycle of p roducts from conception to maintenance. Dassault Systèmes customers are companies in the following industries: Aerospace & Defense, Architecture, Engineering and Construction, Consumer goods - distribution, FMCG - Distribution, Energy, and pr ocesses, Finance and Corporate Services, High Technology, Industrial Equipment, Life Sciences, Marine & Offshore, Natural Resources, and Transport & mobility. Dassault Systèmes was a signatory to the French SME Pact in May 2008. CAD/CAM period[edit] Dassault Systèmes was incorporated in 1981 but really started in 1977 with 15 engi neers from Avions Marcel Dassault - led by Francis Bernard, aircraft design engi neer - who were in charge of providing support for the aircraft building process . While they were initially supposed to develop a 3D Computer-aided Design softw are (CATIA, then called CATI) just to help create designs, the engineers broaden ed the mission's scope to providing help to other industrial sectors. At the end of 1980, the rumours surrounding CATIA reached the very top of the co mpany and Marcel Dassault, then aged 88, asked for a demonstration of the softwa re capabilities.[5] The company management understood the engineers' vision and started to discuss how to leverage their innovation.[5] They quickly realized th ey could not afford to keep and develop this invention internally and decided to create a new company - led by Francis Bernard - to explore the Computer-aided D esign and Computer-aided Manufacturing market (CAD/CAM). Dassault Systèmes thus got started in 1981 with only one customer (Avions Marcel D assault) and 25 engineers who didn't know how to sell or commercialize their pro duct.[6] Since Dassault was one of the major clients of IBM in France, an agreem ent was negotiated for IBM to sell CATIA. It was a non-exclusive licence with 50 /50 revenue sharing where CATIA would be sold by IBM as an IBM product. This agr eement was extremely successful for both companies and it is considered "one of the fundamental success factors in the history of Dassault Systèmes".[6] CATIA started getting noticed in other sectors outside of aeronautical design, n otably in the automotive industry[7] (BMW, Mercedes and Honda). The company used a step-by-step approach to get a start in other industries such as consumer goo ds, machinery, and shipbuilding. IBM itself became a customer in the mid 1980s a nd deployed CATIA in its engineering and manufacturing plants.[8] Over the years, Dassault Systèmes improved its software and expanded to the US, Ja pan and Germany. This rapid growth triggered a chain of products, acquisitions, and partnerships beyond the company's core 3D CAD/CAM software and led to what i s known today as Dassault Systèmes. PLM Period[edit] By the end of the 20th century, CAD/CAM had become too restrictive to be identif ied with Dassault Systèmes products. Then, in the early 2000s, it was replaced by PLM, the acronym for Product Lifecycle Management.[9] New brand names were added to address the full PLM spectrum: DELMIA to support manufacturing, ENOVIA to su pport internal and external collaboration, SIMULIA for Analysis and Simulation, SolidWorks for 3D modeling and 3DVIA for 3D visualization. In 2007, along with the creation of the new brand 3DVIA, Dassault Systèmes started to get into online applications. PLM 2.0 was released, linked to the Web 2.0 "n etwork as a platform" concept. The company used the advantages of the Internet a nd introduced online PLM with its Version 6 platform.[9] This strategy was also followed by many other acquisitions such as: the 2010 Exalead purchase to plunge deeper into Internet search technologies, the 2012 Netvibes purchase to monitor social media through dashboards, the 2012 Gemcom purchase to model and simulate the planet,and the 2013 SIMPOE for plastic injection simulation. In the same ye ar Dassault Systèmes announced its first employment safeguard plan under the Law o f Social Modernisation of 17 January 2002 as a result of its closure of its rese arch laboratory in Grenoble.[10] Key Dates[edit] 1981: Dassault Systèmes incorporation. 1992: Dassault Systèmes acquired CADAM, a 2-Dimensional CAD/CAM software from IBM, and incorporated Dassault Systèmes Americas Corp. 1997: Dassault Systèmes acquired SolidWorks, a developer of mechanical design solu tions.[11] 1998: Dassault Systèmes purchased IBM Product Data Management (PDM) assets and est ablished Enovia Corporation[12] 1999: Dassault Systèmes acquired Israeli company Smart Solutions Ltd. developer of SmarTeam, a PDM workflow software, which later also developed TeamWorks an inte grated workflow solution for SolidWorks.[13] 2000: the DELMIA brand was launched in order to address the digital manufacturin g domain following a series of three acquisitions, including (i) Deneb Robotics, a U.S. company specializing in robotic simulation, (ii) Safework, a Canadian co mpany specializing in human modeling technology, and (iii) EAI-DELTA, a German c ompany specializing in manufacturing process management software. In the same ye ar, Dassault Systèmes also acquired Spatial Technology, a U.S. company developing and selling software components, including ACIS. 2002: Geometric and Dassault Systèmes established a joint venture called 3D PLM So ftware Solutions Ltd., which was set up with an equity participation of 58% and 42% respectively. 2005: Dassault Systèmes acquired Abaqus Inc. [14] and from it creates the SIMULIA brand. In the same year it also acquired Virtools SA. 2006: Dassault Systèmes acquired MatrixOne Inc. to create the next generation of i ts ENOVIA brand.[15] In the same year, Dassault Systèmes also acquired Dynasim AB, a Swedish company specializing in modeling and simulation software for embedded systems, in connection with the development of its CATIA Systems strategy. 2007: Dassault Systèmes launched the 3DVIA brand and at the same time acquired See mage,[16] a leader in the creation of 3D interactive product documentation, and from it launches the 3DVIA Composer product line. Virtools is added to the 3DVIA brand and becomes 3DVIA Virtools. In the same year, Dassault Systèmes also acquir ed ICEM Ltd, a UK company well known in the automotive industry for its styling, surface modeling and rendering software. 2010: Dassault Systèmes acquired Exalead Inc.[17] In the same year, it also acquir ed IBM's sales and support force (all support contracts and around 700 employees ) for the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software business. 2011: Dassault Systèmes acquired Intercim LLC and Enguinity PLM.[18][19] 2011: Dassault Systèmes and Gehry Technology signed an agreement allowing each of them to sell the product Digital Project through their own sales channels.[20] 2012: Dassault Systèmes acquires Netvibes.[21][22] 2012: Dassault Systèmes acquires Gemcom.[23] 2013: Dassault Systèmes acquires FE Design 2013 Dassault Systèmes acquires Safe Technology Limited 2013: Dassault Systèmes acquires Simpoe 2013: Dassault Systèmes acquires Apriso.[24] 2014 Dassault Systèmes acquires Accelrys Corp. Products[edit] CATIA[25] was Dassault Système's initial product. It is the PLM solution for 3D co llaborative creation. CATIA addresses the product development process, from earl y product concept specification through to product in service. DraftSight is a free 2D CAD program that is free to individuals and compatible w ith .DWG format. It's useful for professional CAD users, students and educators create. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. SolidWorks products span 3D mechanical design software, simulation, product data management, and collaboration. They are generally offered as a suite of product s, scaled to the customer's needs. Customers can choose to add other SolidWorks products providing additional simulation and PDM capabilities. They are used by companies in the machinery, medical, consumer, tool and die, electrical and powe r sectors, and by suppliers to the aerospace and automotive industries. CAA V5, a development environment allowing CATIA, DELMIA et ENOVIA to interface with other applications using C++ and Java. Spatial, represents a grouping of components of modelling and 3D visualisation. This brand resulted from the acquisition in 2000 of Spatial Technology who owned the modelling software ACIS. DELMIA is a factory simulation software which resulted from the acquisition of D eneb, Delta, and SafeWork. DELMIA is the Company's PLM digital manufacturing sof tware. It allows manufacturers to virtually define, plan, create, monitor and co ntrol all production processes, from the early process planning and assembly sim ulation to a complete definition of the production facility and equipment.

  • DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION in PRODUCTION PLANNING and SCHEDULING White Paper
    DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN PRODUCTION PLANNING AND SCHEDULING White Paper INTRODUCTION Planning systems for manufacturers have been around for half a century, and have evolved and grown with advancements in technology and management theory throughout that span of time. Many thousands of companies and plants across the globe are using a wide variety of manufacturing planning systems to plan production and purchasing, minimize inventory, maximize availability for customer service, make the most effective use of available resources, and control costs. The real value of planning systems for manufacturers is that they serve as a communication and coordination vehicle for breaking down interdepartmental barriers (often called information silos). The plan includes all major activities required for producing a product, and is developed top-down from the best available prediction of demand (forecast). The plans and activities relate directly back to demand, the satisfaction of which is the definition of customer service. This centralized, coordinated plan, therefore, keeps everybody pulling in the same direction, working toward the same goal. While many plants have and use planning systems on a daily basis, the sad truth is that most do not really take full advantage of what they have to offer. An alarming number of companies are using their systems primarily for accounting and for tracking customer orders, work orders and purchase orders. Many of these companies “run” the planning application, but do not really follow the recommendations. Sadly, the most commonly used “planning” system is the spreadsheet. This is especially true for overall planning including Demand Planning, Sales & Operations Planning, and Distribution/Supply Chain Planning.
