It brings together multi-disciplinary teams and enables the continuity essential to develop complex and connected products faster. It acts as the single version of the truth required to transform ideas into innovative products and experiences.
What Is a Unified Environment?
A unified environment requires:
- A robust data model and ontologies that support all disciplines.
- Data management capabilities to capture, manage, process, and keep track of the data generated.
- A collaborative environment that connects all participants and enables secure, real-time collaboration across teams.
- A unified user experience that brings web-style simplicity and speed to the collaborative environment and your processes.
Go to Market Faster
A unified environment provides continuity by connecting multiple disciplines and allowing teams to develop complex, connected products faster. By creating products and experiences in 3D, teams test and validate designs and simulate manufacturing virtually. Using simulation processes, assembly setup is optimized and potential manufacturing issues are identified and rectified without a physical prototype. This keeps development costs down and accelerates time to market.
Fewer Errors When Working Concurrently
A unified environment is particularly helpful for complex projects as people securely work in parallel on different parts or sub-systems at the same time. At CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard, the electrical and fluidic systems of the ship are designed in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in parallel, enabling professionals in each discipline to work with structural engineers. This integrated collaborative approach helps avoid late-stage errors that can jeopardize schedules and budgets.
