Overview
Collaborate across the value chain: Using IBM/Dassault Systemes PLM (IBM/DS), you and your partners can work as one in a mutual product development environment, fostering collective creativity and minimizing costly engineering and manufacturing changes - all while protecting your intellectual assets.
V5.15 leverages the open and lightweight 3D XML format, which promotes usage of 3D within all disciplines across the enterprise. V5.15 strengthens capacities for engineering package exchange and reconciliation throughout the supply chain, further encouraging faster and more frequent design iterations, while preserving engineering relationships.
Streamline processes to accelerate innovation: IBM/DS PLM helps you to optimize participation of all disciplines in the end-to-end product development process - helping you drive innovation within your company to reach the market at the ideal time with products that customers demand.
V5.15 introduces a unique approach for conceptual design within the 3D environment, using comprehensive 2D conceptual sketching and view layout capabilities familiar to all engineers with drafting experience.
V5.15 shrinks the distinction between the virtual product and reality, through more precise capture and simulation of real-world product and process behavior.
Optimize product development and production processes: IBM/DS PLM manages the relationships between products and their manufacturing processes and resources - helping you master product development complexity and increase understanding with on demand propagation of the impact of all design decisions to all affected stakeholders. With new capabilities for enterprise process management, V5.15 increases business process visibility and agility by enabling process orchestration across multiple enterprise application domains.
V5.15 enhances the VPM Navigator, further strengthening the PLM engineering desktop, and improves entry-level solutions such as Generative Mechanical Design, facilitating adoption and deployment of leading edge design practices in companies of all sizes.
Capture, protect, and re-use intellectual property: IBM/DS PLM applications not only have industry process knowledge built-in, but can capture, share and reuse your company-specific know-how - helping you improve decision-making, optimize product designs, achieve regulatory compliance, and maximize product standardization and quality.
V5.15 automatically generates manufacturing work instruction packages, ensuring that the shop floor utilizes the correct information for each product configuration.
Extend the reach of PLM: IBM/DS PLM solutions are built on standards, are open for extension by customers and software development partners, are easy to customize, and easily integrate with your enterprise applications - helping you extract and share information across your extended enterprise.
V5.15 protects your investment in a combined 32-bit/64-bit environment by extending AIX® 64-bit support, allowing for larger assemblies with higher performance of computationally demanding activities. Adoption of the V5 architecture is broadening, now with more than 50 industry-leading Component Application Architecture (CAA) partners and more than 320 third-party applications.
