Tire Innovation: Speed and Precision at Every Turn

Connected, Autonomous, Shared and Electric (CASE) technologies and stringent sustainability goals place new and demanding requirements on tire manufacturers. In today’s fast-paced world of tire manufacturing, precision is key. Whether mastering complex designs, managing supply chain disruptions, meeting ambitious sustainability targets or adapting to the rapid rise of autonomous and electric vehicles (EVs), the pressure to innovate quickly and precisely is intense. So, how do you turn these challenges into opportunities?

Embracing Precision

Here is where our SmarTyre industry solution excels. It offers powerful tools and capabilities in a unified environment to accelerate every aspect of tire development.

Imagine accessing accurate product data from anywhere, anytime, to refine tire material compositions, optimize designs and streamline production. This level of precision allows a single source of truth to avert costly late-stage mistakes and speed up development.

This solution pushes the boundaries of the ‘Magic Triangle’ — wet grip, wear resistance and rolling resistance — using multiphysics simulation to optimize tire performance while conforming to strict global testing standards. By refining designs virtually before physical prototyping, you save time, cost and carbon footprint.

Conquering Complexity

Navigating the demanding tire industry means finding new ways to be efficient in complex design and production processes. Our platform’s integrated approach eliminates error-prone siloed operations and disjointed workflows that could delay time to market. With SmarTyre, multidisciplinary teams can collaborate seamlessly in real time, boosting productivity by up to 30%.

Powered by our 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we take efficiency a step further by reducing check tires, minimizing production cut-offs and allowing real-time iteration to meet customer requirements with unmatched precision. This efficiency provides tire manufacturers more time to design, validate and manufacture quickly and cost-effectively while ensuring compliance with vehicle OEM requirements and safety standards.

Furthermore, our solution optimizes supply chain planning and optimization and manufacturing operations from end to end. Its integrated tools and capabilities eliminate bottlenecks, improve quality and accelerate time to market at greater cost savings.  

Advancing Sustainability

Since the 2015 Paris Accord, sustainability isn’t just a goal — it’s a must. Material innovation, which drives 80% of tire innovation, benefits from a platform-driven, data-rich approach to develop bio-sourced materials and optimize every phase of material innovation to meet sustainability challenges head-on.     

Additionally, continuous product lifecycle assessments can improve tire quality and recyclability value, helping you close the circularity loop efficiently. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can ensure that sustainability is at the core of your tire development process.

Shaping Tire Innovation

As the industry evolves, tire innovation isn’t just about performance anymore. Instead, tire innovation sets the pace for a future of precision, sustainability and speed. With us, you can lead the charge into a smarter, more efficient era of tire innovation.
