Innovation is the engine of progress, transforming how businesses operate and how we experience the world. From the cars we drive to the cities we live in, advancements are driven by a need for greater efficiency, sustainability and human-centric design. Dassault Systèmes provides the essential framework for this progress, delivering virtual twin experiences and collaborative platforms that empower companies to create groundbreaking products and services.
That is, we don’t make planes. Here’s a comprehensive look at all the industries our technology supports.
Shaping the future of movement and manufacturing
In Transportation & Mobility and Aerospace & Defense, the complexity of modern vehicles and aircraft demands precision and foresight. Our virtual twin technology allows engineers to design and test everything from electric vehicles to next-generation jets in a risk-free digital space. From Boom Superonic’s sound-barrier-busting plane to Joby Aviation’s eVTOL air taxi, our solutions enable streamlined development, enhanced safety and optimized performance for a new era of mobility.
Similarly, the Marine & Offshore industry leverages our solutions to design complex vessels and offshore platforms that can withstand harsh environments and do so sustainably. French company Computed Wing Sail relied on SOLIDWORKS to design its aerodynamic, wind-assisted propulsion system, providing an alternative to fossil fuel reliance in the maritime industry.
For Industrial Equipment manufacturers, our platform facilitates the creation of smarter, more connected machinery, optimizing production lines and enabling predictive maintenance. From construction companies like Kobelco to robotics manufacturers like CNBM Triumph, Dassault Systèmes solutions are used as the backbone for industrial innovation.
Building sustainable environments
The world’s urban areas are rapidly evolving. In Architecture, Engineering & Construction, our tools enable the design of intelligent buildings and infrastructure projects that are both functional and sustainable. Dutch construction firm Unbrick digitized its entire business process, from concept and ideation to simulation and construction on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in order to build some of the world’s most sustainable houses.
This extends to Cities & Public Services, where virtual twins help urban planners simulate the impact of new developments, optimize traffic flow and improve resource management for smarter, more livable and sustainable cities. The Infrastructure, Energy & Materials sector uses our platform to innovate in the pursuit of renewable energy sources and more efficient material usage, building a foundation for a sustainable future. One of the most exciting projects in the field, led by French startup NAAREA, leverages the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to develop a micro modular nuclear reactor that aims to supply significant amounts of carbon-free and decentralized energy at scale.
Enhancing the human experience
In Life Sciences & Healthcare, virtual twins are revolutionizing patient care. From simulating surgical procedures to accelerating the development of new medicines, our solutions are helping to create a healthier world. The Living Heart Project is one of our hallmark programs highlighting the possibilities and potential for technological innovation in these industries.
This focus on the individual extends to the consumer realm.
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Home & Lifestyle brands use our platform to design, simulate and market products that meet fast-changing consumer demands. Europastry, a global frozen sweets brand, turned to DELMIA to manage its supply chain planning, optimizing inventory and resources to bring more treats to customers. By modeling everything from these processes to packaging to in-store placement, companies across the industry can deliver personalized experiences more effectively. Japanese sportswear brand ASICS took this idea and made it a reality on the Dassault Systèmes Velizy campus by constructing a physical mini-store in which interested employees could try out their scanner to create customized footwear.
The High-Tech industry relies on our solutions to accelerate the development of complex electronics, managing the entire lifecycle from semiconductor design to the end consumer device. Finally, the Business Services sector leverages our collaborative tools to streamline operations, enhance decision-making and drive innovation from within. With DELMIA, Lufthansa’s cargo wing was able to centralize its inbound and outbound cargo planning and scheduling, ensuring customers around the world receive shipments on time.
An industrial partner in progress
Across these diverse industries, a common thread emerges: the need to innovate smarter and faster. Dassault Systèmes provides the tools to turn complex challenges into market opportunities. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform breaks down silos between design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing, creating a unified ecosystem for collaboration. By empowering businesses with virtual twin technology, we help them not only to imagine a better future but also to build it.
