PLM Systems, a leader in product engineering and partner of Dassault Systèmes and HexagonMetrology, successfully participated at Plastic Expo 2023, a flagship event for the plastics industry held this year. This exhibition was an opportunity for PLM Systems to present its solutions for product lifecycle management (PLM), simulation, design and metrology, in order to support companies in the sector in optimizing their production processes, their product innovation and quality management.
A Presentation of Complete Solutions for the Plastics Industry
At this event, PLM Systems showcased its capabilities in computer-aided design (CAD), simulation, and product lifecycle management (PLM). In collaboration with Dassault Systèmes and HexagonMetrology, the company demonstrated how its solutions enable plastics manufacturers to optimize new product design, to reduce development time and maximize production efficiency.
Integrated Product Data Management (PLM)
PLM is at the heart of PLM Systems solutions, enabling companies to effectively manage all product data throughout their lifecycle. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systèmes, companies can collaborate more effectively between design, manufacturing and production management teams. This ensures better coordination of projects, full traceability of information and a reduction in human errors.
Optimization of Manufacturing with HexagonMetrology
The metrology solutions presented by PLM Systems in partnership with HexagonMetrology also attracted a lot of interest. With high-precision measuring tools, companies can ensure that finished products meet strict quality specifications throughout the production process. These technologies help to quickly detect defects and ensure that production conforms to standards, while reducing the costs associated with manufacturing non-compliant products.
Advanced Simulation for Product Innovation
The use of SIMULIA (Dassault Systèmes’ simulation tool) was also a highlight at this exhibition. Simulation solutions allow companies to virtually test their products before they are produced, which is crucial to avoid costly defects. These simulations include tests of the strength, ergonomics, fluidity and even thermal behaviour of plastic parts, which allows to guarantee the quality of products while accelerating their development.
Reducing Delays and Accelerating Innovation
The plastics industry is increasingly in need of solutions to reduce their time-to-market, while ensuring the quality and innovation of their products. With the tools presented by PLM Systems, companies can design, simulate, test and produce plastic parts more efficiently. These solutions enable rapid innovation and faster product launches, which are essential elements in such a dynamic and competitive sector.
A Partner for the Challenges of the Plastics Industry
PLM Systems continues to position itself as a key player in the plastics industry, providing solutions that address the unique challenges of this sector. Through its product engineering expertise, partnership with Dassault Systèmes and collaboration with HexagonMetrology, the company helps manufacturers to maximize productivity, reduce costs and ensure optimal quality at every stage of the life cycle of plastic products.
Conclusion: A Milestone for PLM Systems
The participation of PLM Systems at Plastic Expo 2023 highlighted its crucial role as a strategic partner in the plastics industry. By offering integrated PLM, simulation and metrology solutions, the company is once again demonstrating its commitment to helping customers meet the challenges of innovation, production and quality. PLM Systems continues to support the plastics industry to remain competitive, sustainable and ready for tomorrow’s market demands.
