Determining when to reuse, buy or create product parts is obvious on a collaborative platform powered by AI. Below are just a few examples of how NETVIBES customers are making the most of their parts:
Streamlining Standardization & Reuse of Product Parts
A global manufacturer of spacecraft, components and instruments wanted to improve visibility and efficiency across its engineering programs. With product parts data siloed across multiple systems, employees wasted more than 20% of their time searching for existing data.
Defining and standardizing parts with NETVIBES solutions has allowed the organization to reduce its parts catalog by 80%, enhancing data capture, parts reuse and visibility on project status.
Through collaboration, standardization and maximized reuse of data and parts across our engineering operations, we can help our customers to take their businesses above and beyond.

Mastering Part Sourcing & Standardization
A leading multinational producer of luxury automobiles has a mission to become an all-electric brand by 2025.
With the help of NETVIBES on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the company has standardized its components catalog, facilitating streamlined product design, easy identification of opportunities for part reuse and cost removal, and competitive sourcing of components.
Driving the reuse of our parts across multiple vehicles has lots of economy of scale for us.

Optimizing Vehicle Costs
Watch the testimonial of how French vehicle manufacturer Renault Group is simulating the impacts of raw material price increases and part cost variations to better manage market volatility thanks to NETVIBES.
We want to give access to all this data in the platform that will allow, thanks to business intelligence, identifying savings opportunities in vehicles, with immediate benefit for Renault.
– Olivier Colmar, Vice President Digital Transformation, CAE & PLM, Renault Group
Building a Resilient Supply Chain
Watch the testimonial of how intelligent power management company Eaton is benefiting from AI-powered virtual twin experiences on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
All of our 12.5M parts are inside OnePart, which covers about 80% of the parts we source….We are able to save time and money to drive efficiency.
– Sreekumar PANICKER, Vice President, Global Supply Chain CoE, Eaton Technologies Pvt. Ltd
Achieving Digital Continuity
A leading multinational in the aerospace industry wanted to streamline its operations by building digital continuity into design, manufacturing and services for its products.
NETVIBES has made it possible to create a standardized, searchable parts catalog and assure the reuse of standard parts in order to better manage the parts inventory and strip out unnecessary costs.
Thanks to Sourcing & Standardization Intelligence we can drive our designers to reuse standard parts. This reduces costs significantly, because standard parts currently account for around 20% of the total cost of an aircraft.
– Project Leader
Boosting Internal and External Customer Satisfaction
A large aircraft manufacturer wanted to leverage the power of its data to overcome business challenges.
NETVIBES data science solutions allow the company to aggregate and access data from a single internal application that combines the data from all the systems used daily, and all the documents with supporting content linked to clients and products, in order to gain information intelligence.
Each of the nearly two million parts that make up an aircraft is indexed, as are certifications and all their paper archives in digital format. This visibility reduces engineering time, thus the time required to deliver an aircraft to the customer. New part introduction has also decreased by 1% to 3%, leading to a potential annual savings of $2M to $5M.
We’ve addressed a lot of our supply chain issues.
– PLM Director
Reducing Inventory Obsolescence
A manufacturer in the fast-paced electric vehicle sector wanted to minimize the risk of obsolete parts in its inventory.
NETVIBES Sourcing & Standardization Intelligence ensures that design and engineering activities align with existing inventory to minimize the risk – and cost – of maintaining obsolete parts. Users understand exactly when to introduce each design change to minimize its impact on the inventory.
We have been able to solve business challenges that we did not believe were solvable with a single solution.
– Engineering Director
Unleashing Continuous Improvement
South Korean automotive OEM Samsong wanted a centralized data repository that could help it accelerate the reuse rate of designs, specifications, standards, test results and related information for engineering and manufacturing activities.
NETVIBES on the collaborative 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps the company increase the reuse rate of parts thanks to artificial-intelligence-driven part standardization. This has also enhanced the traceability of the design history for continuous improvement.
