ENAER to implement aeronautical design solutions with PLM technologies
Keywords: Aircraft, Design, Software
IBM and Dassault Systèmes have announced the signing of a million-dollar product lifecycle management (PLM) solution contract with ENAER, Chile's national aeronautical company.
The IBM PLM solution, with CATIA and SMARTEAM developed by Dassault Systèmes, will enable ENAER to standardise its entire product development platform, while realising significant cost reductions. ENAER will be the first company in the Latin American aerospace supplier market to possess this leading-edge technology, which will enable it to pursue market opportunities at a global level.
ENAER will be able to offer other aerospace manufacturers solutions for the conception, design and manufacture of aircraft parts and structures. The company will also be able to enhance its end-to-end internal production chain by tying together its design, engineering and manufacturing processes, as well as linking suppliers and customers. Finally, ENAER will be able to optimise the design of its own products and increase its maintenance services for military and commercial aircraft.
In order to implement this solution, IBM will be supported by Dassault Systèmes of America and also by Cardix S.A. of Argentina, IBM PLM Business Partner, for installation, training, best practices and post-implementation support.
