New ARC White Paper on DELMIA AutomationStudy highlights technology application to gain competitiveadvantage in product launch time

T he ARC Advisory Group, a leadingresearch and advisory firm inmanufacturing and supply chain solutions,

recently published a new white paper titled“Discrete Manufacturers Driving Results withDELMIA V5 Automation Platform.”This 16-page study provides details on theincreasingly competitive role digitalmanufacturing plays, with a technologyoverview, DELMIA Automation productspecifics, customer implementations, andinsightful conclusions.

The ARC White paper further illustrates theadvantages of DELMIA Automation and howit significantly reduces product launch timeby identifying control logic errors well beforeimplementation on the factory floor. The ability to test the actual controls (PLCand HMI) against a Virtual Factory monthsbefore anything is built, not only reducesdevelopment time but also reduces the riskand cost involved in a production launch.

It also reveals how next generation digital

manufacturing tools can enable manufacturingengineers to efficiently design and validatesystems by identifying control logic errorswell before the product launches and production begins, allowing engineers toreview several “what if” scenarios. It alsoidentifies how discrete manufacturers andmajor OEMs can improve results with thisdigital manufacturing technology, and givesan example of one major OEM that is alreadygaining a competitive advantage in using thistechnology for Virtual Commissioning.

“The DELMIA Automation Platformrepresents a major transformation enablingmanufacturers to merge virtual models ofproduction equipment with automation andcontrols. This allows for complete validationof all controls logic and HMI (human machineinterface) functionality,” said Jim Caie, vicepresident Consulting, ARC Advisory Group.

SPECIAL REPORT

DELMIA 16 2008 OK vers 4 3/04/08 15:54

Recently, the AberdeenGroup, a leadingprovider of fact-based research focusedon the global technology-driven value

chain, published a report on manufacturingplanning and digitalization.

The report titled, “Digital ManufacturingPlanning: Concurrent Development ofProduct and Process” focuses on technologyadoption initiatives. Although these initiativescan “reap game-changing benefits,” it states,“digitalization of the manufacturing planningprocess isn’t typically atop of the list.” Thewriter is quick to point out that it’s a phasewith many activities—from generating amanufacturing bill of materials to laying outfacilities to creating work instructions to programming robotics—that can be dramatically automated and simulated.

So, how are different manufacturers tacklingthe problem? According findings from thisstudy, almost all manufacturers are focusedon the same strategies to improve theirmanufacturing planning efforts, yet there is avast difference in performance. It reveals thatthe “Best-in-Class” are executing the exactsame strategies as the slow-moving group itcalls the “Laggards” by employing radicallydifferent process activities, roles, management of knowledge, and deploymentof technologies.

The AberdeenGroup report further delves intothe research of digital manufacturing planningby outlining progress the “Best-in-Class” aremaking over those outside of this group.

Some highlights include their FiveCompelling Facts:

■ The Best-in-Class are twice as likely as theLaggards to hit their deadlines by leveragingstarting manufacturing planning prior to design release.

■ The Best-in-Class hit their launch dates93% of the time by concurrently developingthe manufacturing bill of material at the sametime as the engineering bill of material.

The life-sized physical mock-up is a key partof training Orion astronauts for low-Earthorbit missions to the International SpaceStation and docking with it. This is theConstellation program, America’s plannedhuman exploration of the solar system.LMSSC is the prime Orion contractor withabout $4 billion of work. The Constellationprogram envisions launching explorations ofthe solar system from low-Earth orbit.

Digital manufacturing software fromDassault Systèmes’ DELMIA brand ishelping Lockheed Martin Space Systems

Co. (LMSSC) build a cooperative newworking relationship with NationalAeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)engineers at the Johnson Space Center (JSC).

Lockheed Martin and NASA are partnering inhuman-factors simulations to develop thecommand module for Orion, America’s next-generation human space transportationsystem. Working directly with astronauts,LMSSC is building a virtual, or digital, mock-up

Orion is a quantum advance over the Apollospace capsules that took the first humans tothe moon.Three times the size of Apollo, Orion will:

■ Support up to six crew members on missions to the International Space Station.

■ Carry up to four astronauts to and fromthe moon.

■ Carry crewed missions to Mars andbeyond.

The digital simulation is being built inLittleton, Colorado, by Chris Delnero, anLMSSC senior mechanical engineer. Thesimulation is to speed the development ofthe lifelike “high fidelity” JSC physical moc-kup. The Littleton simulation is also intendedto cut Orion development costs by workingout refinements digitally rather than with car-pentry.

Delnero’s task is to come up with a technicalbasis and first-cut analyses for crew arrangement, crew spacing, and seat design.The simulation also helps crew trainees andNASA evaluate the design of the control systems and ensure crew members canreach the consoles. With as many as 11crew member manikins, his simulations inclu-de things like exercise space, access to crewstowage, and getting in and out.

These simulations foster and clarify discussions among LMSSC and NASA engineers and the astronauts. In turn, thesehelp avoid the need for repeated modifications and iterations and rebuilds ofthe physical mock-up in Houston.

“Prior to using DELMIA, the analyses ofsomething this complex would have takenseveral weeks,” one engineering managerobserved. “Analyses are now turned aroundin days.” LMSSC also uses DELMIA Humanfor ergonomics and STEP Core interface to

The simulations and analyses also includeaccess to spacecraft modules that require in-flight maintenance, such as life-support,as well as how to work around anything thatmight be blocking an astronaut’s access toany component. Hence the initial focus onhuman factors such as touch, feel, shapes,and spaces.

“Manikins of any size can be created and theanalyses done in a matter of minutes,”Delnero reported. Delnero also modified themanikins in the DELMIA DPM and HumanComplete packages to represent astronautswearing bulky space suits and helmets,which will be required for some missions.Dynamic simulations, using animated manikins for the pilot and mission commander, are planned for later phases.

Thanks to the DELMIA simulations, Delnerosaid, “a day or two of work with Littleton’s‘soft’ [digital] mock-up was the equivalent ofseveral weeks of work on the physical mock-up.That’s a huge gain, orders of magnitude.”

Lockheed Martin managers see the links between their digital and the physical mock-upat JSC as a key interconnection with NASA.On a larger scale, Lockheed Martin is strivingto make Orion a model program in a newprocess of government-industry collaboration.

The Orion challenges are enormous, hencethe need for intensive simulation. Almost halfthe space inside the spacecraft—a total of700 cubic feet, roughly the size of a smallbedroom—will be packed tight with crewgear, avionics, computers, life-support systems, and heat protection. That leavesthe astronauts only 380 cu. ft.

In spacecraft design, demands for volume,weight, and power have a tendency to riseexponentially, engineers pointed out. If acomponent or system is to be added, something else has to be set aside. Theimpacts on the crew and the mission mustbe considered carefully and in exhaustivedetail. Simulations answer even the toughestof these questions.

The digital work consists of modeling thecommand module and simulating the astronauts and their tasks. In this initial phaseof Orion development, “We are asking whatis the best way to define the astronaut’sinteractions with the controls of Orion,”said Delnero.

This is being done with three basic types ofconceptual studies:

■ Human factors analyses to ensure theastronauts’ tasks can be done given Orion’sdimensional constraints—that controls canbe reached and displays seen.

■ “What-if” studies answer questions aboutthe impact of any decision that adds weight,requires more volume, or increases on-boardelectrical power consumption.

■ Trade studies and analyses that quantifythe engineers’ options.

layouts by indicating what can and cannot beseen,” Delnero explained.

“The static manikins are dimensionally accurate to at least a tenth of an inch,”Delnero said, after proving it to himself on aJSC visit. After delivering his first controllayout modifications for the JSC physicalmock-up, Delnero climbed into the pilot’sseat. “What the software said I could reach, I could reach,” he recalled. “What it said I would not be able to reach, I could not.”

In its Orion program, LMSSC management isdetermined to build a cooperative andmutually supportive environment withNASA—and avoid the adversarial relationships of some past programs.Speedy simulations and the ceaseless effortsof Lockheed Martin’s talented and innovativepeople contribute to that every day.

performed its own study by using DELMIAQuest to analyze throughput of the entiresystem, helping the company identify wherebottlenecks were occurring in the 54-robotline. Trompeter Enterprises was contacted toimprove throughput by adding accumulatingconveyors into a part of the line affecting sixrobots.

“To accomplish this task,” said Trompeter,“we uploaded all the existing programs intothe DELMIA robotic solution and then verifiedeach of the existing programs to check forinterferences.”

The company then re-designed the system,debugged the robots, and did the offlineprogramming. Programs were uploaded andthe line was ready to handle the newconveyors and eliminate the throughputissue. Without simulation, problem-solvingwould have stopped production for hours asthe robots were re-programmed to handlethe new configuration.

Trompeter Enterprises is part of theAutomation Welding Alliance (AWA), aconsortium of five companies formed to be a"one-stop" resource for automation systemprogramming/debugging, welding, panelbuild, simulations, design and training forpressroom or welding and assembly manufacturing.

After the physical system build of a recent automated line, Trompeter was able to do a side-by-sidecomparison of virtual versus reality with the match between the two being almost perfect

“We work with a number of automakers aswell as Tier suppliers who design and installautomated assembly systems for the OEMs,”said Trompeter. “Without simulations tovalidate and improve system designs prior toproduction, it would take months to install anew system and our customers could nevermeet their delivery schedules. By verifyingeverything in a virtual world, we get equipment up and running in time framesthat don’t adversely impact production.”On a recent project, the company was ableto validate a newly automated welding andassembly workcell. Previously relying uponeight operators, the new system was designed to include ten robots and only twooperators. With the DELMIA solution,Trompeter identified potential tooling collisions or reachability issues, driving changes that improved the system designwhile still in a virtual mode. Additionally, oncethe virtual simulation was completed,Trompeter could reference the data for futureanalysis and create “what if” scenarios atminimal cost with no downtime.

The company is now working on updating anexisting line for an OEM. The automaker

T rompeter Enterprises (Sterling Heights,Michigan) specializes in the developmentof automated robotic simulations,

providing customers with the ability toevaluate and validate all areas of its processesbefore design and/or build. Said MattTrompeter, president of the company,“Without simulation, companies can incurlate cycle changes that increase exponentiallyas you get closer to manufacturing. Throughuse of the DELMIA Robotic solution, we cancreate 3D simulations to evaluate designsand processes before manufacturing andassembly. We can also run throughputanalysis and correct ergonomic and safetyissues before they occur.”

The DELMIA robotic solution provides simulation for modeling and offline programming of automated workcells. Thespot welding capability offers tools to supportboth traditional and fixed TCP spot weldingapplications along with a fully functional tooling interface for the construction and simulation of tooling and fixture device clamps.Collision-free robot trajectories are automaticallydetermined, and numerous optimization featuresused to reduce process cycle times.

Benefits derive from designers andmanufacturing engineers sharing the samevisual data and having visibility of eachother’s work as it progresses. Through thistechnique design for manufacture has improved considerably because designs areoptimised for manufacture very early in thedesign process, even at the conceptualstage. One example of this was in theconceptual design for an instrument panel,which was modified, before mainstream design engineering was initiated. The Bentleyprocess and systems architecture allowsManufacturing Engineers to access andcomment on the proposed design, from anassembly perspective, very early in its lifecycle.”

the engineering bill of materials (BOM) andassembly specifics to the virtual build it ispossible to tune the process sequence formaximum efficiency. Using skeleton data andapplying it to future assembly plans at Crewewe are able to plan from existing knowledgeand add more detail as it is generated.”

Fast and Smooth

Having made an investment in DELMIA aspart of its DS based PLM infrastructure,Bentley Motors is able to bring further advanced production technology into otherparts of its business at low cost. Bentley isconsidering options for enhancing its designin context utilisation. This could include rollingout 3D DELMIA manufacturing data to thesupply chain to improve manufacturability ofdesigns, the after sales network and providing imagery for marketing purposes.

The company also uses DELMIA to enhanceits virtual build, improve processes and develop staff training. Derek Harrison explained, “The earlier we can show assembly procedures to line side engineersthe better they will be able to understand and

concurrent, collaborative engineering. Thisfacility provides previously separated design,engineering and planning facilities with themeans of working together using the common language of 3D. Designers are ableto take much more account of manufacturabilitywhile manufacturing engineers, having earlyaccess to design data, can influence designsand commence training to make their workmore efficient. This allows manufacturingengineers to develop more robust, provenassembly procedures to enhance the process further. The result is increased efficiency, assembly time reduction and better communications within and beyondthe enterprise.”

Bentley Motors has a glorious past and nowwith DELMIA it is set for great future reapingthe business benefits that 3D planning andsimulation can offer.

Realistic planning

To address such a need, Audi has beenworking since the year 2000 on “virtualassembly” using planning tools from DELMIA,particularly the DELMIA Process Engineerand DELMIA DPM Assembly applications.

DELMIA Process Engineer’s functionalities(which essentially allow structured simulationfor production and process concepts) havebecome an integral part of Audi’s planningmethodology. Formerly, it was along-standing practice throughout theautomotive industry that productionplanning for new models would bebased on their predecessors. Companiescould never exactly predict how changes—for instance, a new lighting concept orchanges to the “cockpit”—would affect workrhythms, cycle times and costs. It was amatter of waiting till the first new modelsrolled off the assembly line.

The SOP is the moment of truth for a newcar model. This is when it becomes clearwhether developers and planners have

considered all the eventualities.The challenges of aligning cycle times forsuccessive assembly processes, specifyingthe production space requirement, ensuringthe accessibility of handling tools at the rightlocation and assembly-friendly geometries forthe individual components are among thecritical factors that determine whether acompany can keep pace with calculatedprocess cycle times. Improvements after thefact and the resulting production downtimecan soon get very expensive. ThomasPauleser, project manager of the Virtual BodyShop in production planning at Audi explains,“Cars are becoming more complex all thetime, so the time allotted for developmentand planning is growing shorter with everyproject. Accordingly, we now need to pursuedigital, automated assembly planning toensure that everything runs smoothly at SOP.”

Today, DELMIA Process Engineer givesmanufacturers the ability to work on theplanning process while, for example,monitoring production cycle times, whichrepresent a significant portion of the vehicleassembly process. Consequently, they canplan for the projected target objectives. Thecurrent Audi A3 model was the first project inwhich the company employed DELMIAProcess Engineer's planning methodology.Therefore, it was the first time it was possibleto monitor cycle times during the planningprocess. Utilizing DELMIA Process Engineermade an effective contribution to maintainingthe projected production rates even beforeSOP. “We have greater transparency now,”Pauleser says, citing a significant advantage.“Thanks to the tools we have at our disposal,we can plan much more accurately how longit will take to assemble one car.”

Assembly Support for Audi AGHow the “cockpit” gets into the carHaving an assembly-friendly design for auto components at the start of production (SOP) is acrucial prerequisite for ensuring that production meets its goals for cost, quantity and quality.DELMIA Process Engineer and DELMIA DPM Assembly planning tools are an essential part ofthis process. Now the entire Volkswagen Group, of which Audi is a very high-profile part, isusing DELMIA software in its assembly departments.

Audi’s people now want to take things a stepfurther by implementing Kineo's DELMIADPM Path Planner. Part of the DELMIA brandproduct portfolio, this tool builds on DPMAssembly and supports the assembly plannerby generating collision-free paths. KineoCAM, headquartered in France, is the worldwide leader in collision-free path planning technologies. Using 3D data for thebody, components and handling tools, thePath Planner calculates which paths andseries of motions will allow a “cockpit”, forexample, to be moved inside and positionedwithout collisions or other obstructions.Moreover, assembly and disassembly can besimulated using the product. Even experiencedassembly planners often need many hours tomanually determine collision-free assemblypaths and motions. Over a wide range of testscenarios, Audi’s engineers and planners testedhow much time different path planners neededto calculate and propose an installation path.Kineo's DELMIA DPM Path Planner—meetingthe benchmark—required only 2.5 minutesfor the “cockpit”, a process which would haverequired several hours if done manually.

Assembly-friendly design during productdevelopment

The Path Planner allows feasibility studiesduring the development phase for

3D visualization for parts and assemblypaths

Along with DELMIA Process Engineer, Audinow utilizes DPM Assembly for planning theassembly of all its vehicles. The tool generates 3D images of assembly components,groups, and resources. On this basis thecompany works deeply with DassaultSystèmes’, where engineers can work withuniform data formats, from developing andconstructing components to simulatingassembly processes. For example, it canperform usability analyses for individualcomponents. Installing the “cockpit” canoften present a significant challenge fordevelopers, planners, and manufacturers,because this element tends to become morecomplex as more, newer functionalities areadded from one model to the next.If engineers don’t determine beforehandwhether the installation paths will really work,the SOP might coincide with some problems,which would in turn mean costly corrections.DELMIA DPM Assembly’s 3D simulations ofvehicle, component, and handling-toolgeometries allow the spatial relationships andrestrictions of production spaces to bevisualized in advance. Accordingly, theengineers can give full consideration toassembly issues early in the overall productdevelopment.

components, and thereby gives engineersimportant tips in optimizing components forthe assembly phase. For example, theplanner can determine very early on whethera car seat’s geometry allows it to be movedinto place without collisions, even undercertain restrictions. For that reason Audi hasincorporated DPM Path Planner into itsvirtual product and process assurance, whichis now part of all its vehicle projects. In thisinstitutionalized set of process steps,employees from Development, the Pre-seriesCenter, Assembly Planning and Productiondiscuss the results of feasibility studies andderive optimizations. This ensures thatassembly issues and concerns will be takeninto account from the start of a newdevelopment project.

Consistent with a front-loading strategy,production attempts to influence andoptimize the product in an early projectphase when it will be most effective.Additional simulations and analyses providefurther development support so that as manyproduction decisions as possible can beconfirmed through virtual testing.The objective, with this kind of comprehensivemanufacturing process planning, is toeliminate reworking and adaptation. Theadvantages are clear: The company makesfewer changes as the project matures, sothat the adoption cost is held to a minimum.No one has to worry whether someunpleasant surprise is lurking around a turnin the road. This guarantees quick validationand safe assembly processes. DELMIA toolsaccess a database to provide planningsupport, permitting the easy reuse ofassembly concepts and paths for newprojects—which have been optimized fromthe start—and in turn saving production timeand cost on new vehicles.

Refining planning opportunities

Pauleser is upbeat about the possibilities.“We plan to implement DELMIA’s Robotics and Human tools in the future,”he says, “to complement DPM Assemblyand DPM Path Planner, so that we can simulate robots and people in 3D.”Additionally, The DELMIA Automatic LineBalancing (ALB) tool is slated for implementation. ALB will be used to analyzeand evaluate different variations of assemblyline models. This allows planners to take anyexisting structural restrictions into accountthat might deviate from an ideal layout. Givenany changes to cycle times and planning, thetool shows how the position of material supplies and production space will shift.

approaches. Nevertheless, the group isdiligently pursuing its strategy for the future:companywide uniform and universal softwaresupport, from planning phase to constructionand simulation, from production to the relea-se of entire product lines. DELMIA is workingclosely with Volkswagen AG tosuccessfully support its strategy, based onthe appropriate planning tools.

Enhanced alignment between the virtualassembly world and the real world is helpingto refine planning opportunities. The resultsfrom calculations and simulations aredepicting the actual process with greaterdetail than ever before, making it transparentand easier to plan with exactitude.

Integration scenarios

“It hasn’t been the most productive ofsituations,” states Erich Großmann, managerof PLM Services at CENIT AG. Großmannhas headed up the company’s DELMIA andSAP integration activities since 2006, and isresponsible for all DELMIA2SAP projects andthe development of a DELMIA-SAPconnector. Moreover, he has spearheadedCENIT’s integration efforts for ENOVIA andSAP since 1998. The company’s goal for theDELMIA-SAP environment is to develop astandard interface product that builds onDassault Systèmes’ component applicationarchitecture and can be tailored to specificuser requirements.

The benefits of this kind of interface solutionare obvious. The reduction of manual effortand duplicitous data entry can substantiallydecrease the expense in time and eliminatesources of human error. SAP values such ascycle times (generally based on experience)estimates or REFA tables can be quickly andeasily replaced by DELMIA values generated

Companies today are certainly aware ofthat gap, with ERP existing in one worldand product development and

manufacturing planning in the other.While engineering, design, and the simulationand planning of production processes areconducted in a graphic-oriented ITenvironment—frequently based on3D methods—the production processes,resource planning, procurement logistics andprocesses, all the way through to productshipment, take place in the alphanumericworld of enterprise resource planning.CATIA and DELMIA tools are often on oneside, while the SAP system is on the other.Developers never originally planned to haveinterfaces between these two spheres, anduntil recently, they weren’t available asadjuncts to DELMIA products.

through very precise simulations.This ensures consistent, uninterruptedprocesses, in turn having a positive effect onquality and efficiency in the use of man-hours.Principally, there are two possible integrationscenarios: The first is a batch integrationscenario in which the data from DELMIAtools is unidirectionally transferred to the ERPsystem. The second is an interactiveintegration scenario with a bidirectionalinterface, which links DELMIA and SAP toolsand allows either system to obtain certaindata from the other. Thus each system cancapitalize upon the other’s strengths.

Transferring DELMIA data to SAP

Two customers—both level-one suppliers tothe Aerospace industry—have implemented thebatch scenario to date, and both have appliedit to production. Both customers faced thechallenge of entering DELMIA data--some fromtheir customers’ systems and some from theirown DELMIA implementation--into the SAPsystem as quickly as possible, seeking to ensu-re productivity and on-time delivery.

Two Worlds, First Contact

SOFTWAREGERMANY

Many companies that use DELMIA products also deploy an SAP system for enterprise resour-ce planning, or ERP. These two worlds, within the greater realm of IT, support the same pro-ducts, processes, and company objectives, but they’re divided by a deep chasm of differingthought processes, philosophies, and architectures. CENIT AG, a DELMIA Gold Partner, isdeveloping interface products whose purpose is to bridge the gap.


DELMIA 16 2008 OK vers 4 3/04/08 15:54

data formats. As a result, the mapping ofobjects is more difficult. Additionally, it’snecessary to analyze and define which databelongs on which side.

From pilot projects to market-ready

Significant components of the interactiveDELMIA-SAP connector developed by CENITusing its experience with DELMIA2SAPprojects, as well as integration projects forCATIA-SAP and ENOVIA-SAP, are currentlybeing marketed. “Now we need concrete,real-world scenarios,” says Großmann.

The unidirectional solution already poses acertain challenge, in that serious problemscan arise in this regard. Initially they stem notso much from the technical implementationas from the individuals involved in anintegration project. “It sounds banal,”Großmann says, “but one of the biggestchallenges in this kind of integrationenvironment is the widely varying terminologyto which people have become accustomed.We’re dealing with people who work at thesame company, but have invested theirexperience in different worlds and differentthought structures. When someone from theDELMIA world talks about the ‘revision of apart,’ the SAP people don’t necessarily thinkof the same thing.” Therefore, the next issueis to clarify the concepts and terminologies.Most people involved realize that integrationis necessary, but at first ideas about exactlywhat should be integrated and how it shouldbe achieved can be very different.

In addition to using different terminologies,each of the two systems has a particularstructure. The differences in systems andterminologies must become part of thecommunication process between SAP andDELMIA experts in order to ensure asuccessful integration. “It’s also extremelyimportant,” stresses Großmann, “to understandthe business process governing bothsystems. To decide which and how objectsfrom one side should be displayed on theother, people need to know what informationis required and where it’s processed as themeans to achieve a certain goal.” Even if thegoal is a standard interface, the functionalitiesof a current interface product can only bedefined in collaboration with users.

Mutual exchange of data

The second scenario, interactive integration,makes this collaboration particularlyimportant for developers at CENIT and theirpartners at DELMIA. The scenario allowsexisting data from an SAP system, such asparts lists or routing plans from previousmodels, to be used as the basis for digitalmanufacturing planning with DELMIA tools.Its graphics tools are very useful in thecontext of detailed planning, determiningproduction variants, and analyzing logisticaland ergonomic constellations. Subsequently,the results can be made available to the ERPsystem, thereby creating a cycle thatremoves the point of user entry as a factor.An interactive integration scenario is the bestsolution for companies having expertise inthe development of manufacturing strategiesand conduct their own product andmanufacturing planning, namely OEMs andtheir chief suppliers.

The elegance and appeal of this scenariofaces a number of issues that must beresolved in addition to the challenges ofunidirectional integration. Even though geometricdescriptions have no role to play in batchscenarios, here one must manage different

“Projects being carried out at customerfacilities need to incorporate their needs andconditions into the products.” Thus the goalis to achieve a market-ready, bidirectionalDELMIA-SAP interface and expand the number of scenarios covered by the unidirectional interface.

beginning of 2006. Out of 50 licenses globally, 15 licenses are used in Asia Pacific. “Our CATIA - ENOVIA SmarTeam combined environment was already in place,”explains Nokia Corporation TechnologyPlatforms/Mechanical Engineering Serviceskey account specialist, Ari-Pekka Pietila.“To improve the use of our CATIA data aswell as our manufacturing process integration, we were able to reuse our CATIAnative data, for customizability, automation,robotic and production line simulation inDELMIA.” As a result, DELMIA products arecurrently used for DFM assembly study,concept design of final assembly work, creation of assembly work processes andcreation of work instructions. This means thatCATIA 3D data can be now directly linked toassembly process information, makingassembly study or document creation more efficient. An additional advantage is that DELMIA performs conceptdesign of assembly work by adding assembly instructions in the form of annotations. These annotations are in theform of a 3D geometry snapshot and areautomatically imported into an Excel document. (Figure 2)

When an assembly study is performed inDELMIA and the design of a part is changedas a result of the study, the updates nowautomatically reflect the changes to the linkeddocument. Additionally, Nokia used CATIAfor 3D design mainly for concept designs ofproducts and detailed designs of parts befo-re the DELMIA implementation took place.Therefore, no mechanical design taking intoaccount the manufacturability of each partwas conducted in CATIA. Thanks to DELMIA, users can now performassembly studies with CATIA 3D models,enabling mechanical design that takes intoaccount the ease and speed of assembly,as well as minimizing the number of parts used.

Benefits from DELMIA use

No data conversion

As DELMIA can directly load CATIA data,data conversion has been totally eliminated.

Front loading of trouble shooting

One of big advantages of DELMIA is thatassembly studies can be conducted with a 3Dmodel, allowing problems to be communicatedto the design team at an early stage.

Since the mechanical design in CATIA is linked to DELMIA, if any design change isdeemed necessary as a result of a DELMIAassembly study, the manufacturing engineerscan contact the designers to discuss thechanges.

Prior to the implementation of DELMIA therewas no close collaboration between designerand their manufacturing colleagues. After theimplementation, the 3D models becamecommunication channels, allowing defects tobe fixed quickly. In addition, Nokia has foundthat DELMIA enables digital mockup review,reducing the number of physical prototypes, leading to time and cost reduction.“By better utilizing DELMIA, I think we will beable to largely reduce the creation of prototypes.” comments Ari-Pekka Pietila.

Document creation, efficient update

In the past, when the design of a part waschanged, all documents that related toassembly needed to be updated manually,changing each corresponding part. Afterimplementing DELMIA, there is direct linkbetween assembly related documents and3D models, so this change is automaticallyreflected in the work instructions.

“We have no quantitative measured gains tocompare before and after DELMIA, as it hasbeen only eighteen months since the implementation. However, I strongly feel thatwe are heading in the right direction with the

feasibility tests to simultaneous engineering,and basic and detailed design tasks,including robot applicability simulations.

“In a recent project for a Chinese automanufacturer,” Katsuharu Tanaka explains,“AES strived to practice simultaneous engineering. The conceptual designs developed by AES were compared with theclient's 3D models, allowing some 80 to 100

Utilizing 3D Models and RobotSimulations in Key Processes

AES has been using CATIA and DELMIAextensively in its entire process flow, fromfactory planning to production ramp-up.

For stamping and body-in-white processes,AES has used DELMIA software foreverything from manufacturability and

design flaws to be identified within just twomonths. These flaws were then fed back tothe designers so that they could make furtherrefinements before the prototype was manufactured.”

In simulations designed to examine theapplicability of robots to specific processes,AES directly imports 3D models created withCATIA into DELMIA Robotics, and evaluatespossible spot welding sequences to help inthe planning of the welding processes.When adapting an existing production line tonew car models, these software tools arealso employed to check whether the existingrobots and welding guns are applicable tothe new process.

To assure greater precision of the robots'movements, it is critical to understand exact-ly how the robots move, so the jig designs can be optimized. Conducting simulations with DELMIA while designing jigswith CATIA allows any errors to be identified and corrected at the same time."That is the single most significant advantageof using DELMIA and CATIA V5 together, andno competing products can emulate them,"says Masahiko Nakazono, deputy managerof the AES Digital Engineering Office.

AES also carries out offline programming ofrobot paths using personal computers.Critical in this process are the actual measurements of the shop floor, includingthe relative positions of equipment, the shapes and sizes of obstacles, and so on.For offline programming tasks, AES usesRobotics and 3D laser scanning technology

Combining Advanced Engineering Expertisewith CATIA and DELMIA

Deformed BIW Assembly Simulation

Building on its core competence in automotive plant engineering, AES Co., Ltd. has set upoverseas bases in Thailand, China, India, and the U.S. to provide specialized engineering servicesto leading automotive manufacturers. In 1992, the company adopted DELMIA D5 IGRIP (thenknown as Deneb/IGRIP) to conduct industrial robot simulations. Katsuharu Tanaka, managerof the company's Digital Engineering Office and was among the earliest users of Deneb/IGRIPin Japan. AES also implemented DELMIA Quest (then called Deneb/Quest) to examine itsmanufacturing processes through process flow simulations. These solutions helped the compa-ny to start up many new plants and improve existing production lines. AES began using DEL-MIA Robotics Simulation in 2004.


DELMIA 16 2008 OK vers 4 3/04/08 15:54

to create a digital model that is tightly correlated with the actual shop floor.When the process design is evaluated andoptimized through these simulations, theresults are converted into machine controlprograms and downloaded to each piece ofequipment.

"I suspect few companies go the extra mileto create virtual models that mirror the actualobjects as closely as ours," says Tanaka.

Fewer Steps to Build Simulation Models,Greater Accuracy

AES has been able to significantly reduce thetime and number of steps required for importing3D models. This is the key reason AES decidedto switch to DELMIA.

While DELMIA D5 IGRIP required all facilityand work cell models to be built with IGRIP,DELMIA Robotics allows 3D models generated with CATIA and other CAD toolsto be imported. Model designers can thensimply rearrange the imported models andadd welding guns and other equipment asneeded. This means that the modeling process can now be divided into smallertasks and outsourced to partner firms. As aresult, the total number of steps required todevelop simulations has been reduced, alongwith time-to-production.

Furthermore, the accuracy of the checks andevaluations performed during the earlyplanning stage and after the completion of jigdesigns has improved significantly."The intricate timing for lock-and-release

among multiple robots is made clearly visible,and it takes only a short while to check andverify the timing even when a large number ofrobots are involved," Nakazono adds.

In the run-up to the start of production thetime it takes to create design data and buildproduction facilities has shrunk dramatically."Compared with five years ago, the speed atwhich we can complete facility engineeringand design has increased by a factor of atleast five," Tanaka claims. "This is partly dueto the improved skills of our engineers, butthe efficiency and productivity gains that theCATIA and DELMIA tools have given us areequally important."Regarding the effects of CATIA and DELMIA

on the quality of engineering services at AES,Nakazono has this to say: "Mechanicalengineers picture 3D images in their heads,but conventionally these had to be renderedin 2D as drawings on paper and on 2D CADsystems. With CATIA and DELMIA, the images can be directly visualized in 3D, whichfacilitates design and engineering communications and vastly improves the quality of engineering."

Prospects for the Future

To reinforce its digital engineering capabilities,AES is now contemplating the adoption ofDELMIA Human. This will help AES build virtual factory models that reflect work conditions more accurately than ever before,right down to the number of workers, theirmovements, and even their work efficiency.This ergonomic modeling solution will beinvaluable in designing streamlined productionlines.

Pursuing a global business strategy, AESrecently entered into an alliance with AAPICO,a Thai manufacturer of auto parts and jigs,and formed a consortium with other partnersknown as SAMA to initiate new servicesencompassing production engineering andparts delivery. Taking full advantage of itsfreedom from ties with specific automotivegroups, AES expects to continue to enhanceits engineering skills and expertise with CATIAand DELMIA to remain a successful global player.

A group of partners, a developmentfocal point

This venture into more ambitious markets ismade possible by IT, but is also due to thecreation of a group of reliable industrial partners who know each other perfectly andwho share the same values. Each groupmember is an expert in its field, from specialist machinery to automation and fabrication through to assembly. In preliminary projects with customers,

CADBAZ, a research and implementationconsultancy in general mechanicalengineering, has added DELMIA

Assembly for a full PLM implementation.CADBAZ was already a user of DassaultSystèmes’ CATIA and ENOVIA brands, andadded DELMIA in an effort to ensure it couldoffer its customers more ambitious, perfectlymanaged projects.

CADBAZ, based near Reims, France, is acompany created and managed for twelveyears by Mr. Thierry Docquier with a team often-plus employees. This SMB (small tomedium-sized business) develops its knowledge in extremely varied areas such asthe automotive, aeronautics, and generalmechanical engineering industries. This latteractivity is the company's main occupationand enables it to plan on a larger scale andoffer complete research and implementationof assembly lines to its customers. Since thebeginning, CADBAZ has used 3D CAD software in its research, but it was in 2001that CADBAZ acquired a CATIA workstation.In 2006 it added DELMIA Assembly ProcessSimulation for the validation and animation ofindustrial processes. Thierry Docquier clarifies: "Having already acquired the CATIAsolution, DELMIA Assembly ProcessSimulation represents for us a way ofconquering new markets and optimizing our transactions in order to respond moreactively to our customers. We had to live upto their expectations. Important customersinclude Dassault Aviation, PSA, EADS, aswell as others which we cannot cite due tothe confidentiality of our current work."

CADBAZ manages its research and the customer relationship. Later, during implementation, CADBAZ becomes the master-builder and manages coordination ofits partners and then plans production.Technology permits close proximity as wellas real responsiveness to the end customeras the specifications evolve constantly in thepreliminary phase.

in relation to the confidence and orders thatthis brings."

Always innovating

CADBAZ insists on always having the mostpowerful technology in order to be competitive. Its current setup with CATIAand DELMIA has been complemented byENOVIA SmarTeam. The complexity of theprojects that can be handled by the company now requires using a PDM that willpermit research engineers to work togetheron sizeable projects. ENSAM in Châlon enChampagne, France, is participating in thisproject and is implementing a technologytransfer. Dassault Systèmes is supporting thisimplementation on a technical level.

PLM is an asset

Well equipped from his experience in variousFrench companies, Thierry Docquier immediately understood that thinking, executing, and collaborating in 3D was thekey to success: "I am convinced that if theFrench industry fully exploited the benefits ofthe concept of an integrated digital network

assembly line for all customer assemblies aswell as the maintenance handbook.

The DELMIA Assembly tool enables automatic modification of documents compiled during the modification of the component or means of production. It alsoenables work instructions to be provided tothe 3D graphic electronic workstations in the3DXML (Dassault Systèmes/Microsoft) openformat. With Dassault Systèmes integratedsolutions, the smallest questions can beanswered and modifications validatedso the customer knows their final strategyis the best one.

Considerable gains

Thierry Docquier is convinced that hisstrategy is a winner: He said, "We have reducedour research time by at least 40% by workingin product/process with CATIA and DELMIA.DELMIA Assembly has also enabled us toreduce our final delivery time by 80%.Problematic issues have been identified beforehand during the research stage and itis with great confidence that we can takedelivery of our projects. Our final alterationscan be done within a day. We can guaranteeour delivery times, give security to our customers, and guarantee our operatingmargin.”

He continued: “Realistic 3D animation of theprojects by DELMIA Assembly is also crucialin our relationship with our customers and is,I believe, the main asset that we have found

in PLM, it would gain at least 30% in productivity and the competition presentedby low-cost countries would no longer be aproblem. The exploitation of the digital network can compete well with the low laborcosts. Industrial knowledge remains crucial inFrance in many sectors. If I can get this message across, I will feel like I am sharingour vision and its benefits.”

DELMIA Customer Conferences ProvideSuccessful Venue for Industry LeadersEvent boasts the largest number of attendees with morethan 2,040 worldwide

Mr. Rainer Eißrich, senior manager, Daimler AG

Attendance records were broken this yearas more than 2,040 participantsworldwide attended the annual DELMIA

Customer Conferences. The conferences,held in the United States, Germany, andJapan, brought together leaders and usersfrom various industries to expound theirexperiences in implementing PLM throughthe use of Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIAmanufacturing simulation tools.

To start, featured presenter Philippe Charlès,CEO of Dassault Systèmes’ Delmia Corp.,spoke at the North America conference. Hehighlighted the fact that DELMIA is positioned to meet today’s product development and manufacturing challenges.Following his presentation were high-levelkeynote addresses by executives at the topof their industry. Automotive Keynote,Richard Woodhead, director, GME IS&SManufacturing Engineering, General Motors,discussed his experiences in digital manufacturing at General Motors and howthey leverage digital technologies in a globalcompetitive environment. Tamio Ogata, staffengineer of production engineering, HondaMotor Company, Ltd., followed with a presentation on how Honda is bringing current production information into the DELMIAenvironment and mapping it to a new product.

The focus on product development continued at the European conference. PeterSchmitt, vice president sales – automotive,Dassault Systèmes Americas, opened theconference, followed by Bernard Charlèswho gave his keynote address. There he wasfollowed by other high-level industry executives. Rainer Eißrich, senior manager, incharge of digital production planningMercedes car group at Daimler AG, presented on the topic of the digital factoryat Mercedes-Benz Car Groups, which is amain lever for the implementation of efficiency increase, standardization and the

advance in planning quality. In addition, Ari-Pekka Pietilakey, account specialist,Nokia, spoke on systemically analyzing aproduct or product concept to ensure bestmanufacturability with Nokia’s manufacturingprocesses focusing on total cost and quality.Nokia is using CATIA and is implementingDELMIA as a process tool to bring 3D forother related areas with links.

At the Asia-Pacific Conference in Japan,industry leaders provided their insight ondigital manufacturing. One was MasahikoShimono, staff administrator, vehicle engineering office, strategic management BL,Honda Motor Co., Ltd., who presented on“The Realization of the Multi-DimensionsManufacturing at Honda.” He discussed thedeployment of a planned virtual factoryconcept and the correlations with Honda’sbasic philosophy “human-centralized factory.”Another tie-in with “Manufacturing in Motion”came about in a case study presented byPei-Chao Chen, project manager, CMCDigital Factory, production engineering division, China Motor Corporation (CMC).The study revealed that CMC expendedDELMIA Human on the CMC Digital Factoryproject. CMC needed to simplify the projectand expedite the pace of the project. The customer conferences provide a forum,including workshops and “How 2” sessions,for representatives of different industries toexchange ideas and information about theimpact of digital manufacturing in productcreation. Collectively, the Automotive,Aerospace, Electrical & Electronics,Fabrication & Assembly, Consumer Goods,Shipbuilding, and Academia were represented.

ACADEMIC NEWS

The University of Salerno Benefits from the DELMIA Digital Factory

Integrated system of production

The Research Group’s pneumatic scalemodel of an integrated system of productionallows the students to experiment withproduction planning techniques, stock intrade, buffers and PLC systems.The model was designed in a combination ofthe DELMIA DPM and Quest environments.Integration with the COMAU industrial robotson programmable axes enables the studentsto experiment with tasks and ideas in a realindustrial scenario giving them the opportunity to study collision analysis andkinematic movement, both direct and inverse.Assembly tasks have been performed inorder to evaluate collision. As a result of theseprocess improvements, the students are ableto also monitor the reduction of “dead time,”as well as evaluate cycle times.

Ergonomic analysis for the final assembly line

Pick and place resource simulation

T he University of Salerno is finding that thethe DELMIA digital factory (DF) is provingto be a very effective suite of tools in the

analysis of production processes and theconsequent improvement in systemperformance. The current focus of “PlantDesign and Management Research Group”at the University is to employ DELMIA toolsto successfully cope with different issues,such as plant organization, flux optimization,human work rationalization and processautomation.

The University has been pleasantly surprisedat just how little effort and time has beenrequired for the learning curve of using a digital model to:

■ perform analyses,■ teach and test alternatives in a real

manufacturing worldwide environment,■ get familiar with the user interface to

customize.

Robots and devices, such as painting andwelding gun libraries that are supplied withDELMIA software, have allowed the easyintegration of digital factory tools. Prof.Alfredo Lambiase, head of the ResearchGroup, explains: “Our students are usuallyintroduced to real industrial environments,where they analyze possible conceptual mistakes, propose a solution and finallyimplement their solution within the digital

manufacturing model to evaluate the possibleperformance improvements. DELMIA toolshave helped us find more simple and agilemethods for process simulation, so that nowwe are developing a complete VirtualEnvironment within the DELMIA infrastructure.Moreover, DELMIA flexibility is continuouslytested by its application to a large variety ofdifferent industrial challenges.”

DELMIA simulates automotive assembly

In the automotive sector, the University hasfocused on work-floor analysis re-engineering of tasks in a digital mock-upof a production line. Although the principalobjectives were line balancing and task ergonomic correction; workers’ tasks, theirpostures and walking paths, were also analyzed and completely re-engineered, leadingto the subsequent rebalancing of the line.

The data exchange possibility with third partyprograms and the ability to execute C++ routines within the V5 environment has allowed the integration of new ergonomicindexes, developed by the University withinDELMIA Human Task Analysis. “Our currentchallenge,” explains Prof. Lambiase, “is theexpansion of DELMIA’s capabilities toencompass new Virtual Devices and/or cheaper periphericals. I am thinking of thingslike an optical tracksuite to map the realhuman motion onto virtual manikins.”
