(Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. (DS) (Euronext Paris Euronext Paris is France's securities market, formerly known as the Paris Bourse, which merged with the Amsterdam and Brussels exchanges in September 2000 to form Euronext NV, which is the second largest exchange in Europe behind the London Stock Exchange. : #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA), a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. Management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) solutions and Intercim LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , a market leader in manufacturing and production operations management software solutions for advanced and highly regulated industries, today announced a new step forward in their strategic alliance, with Dassault Systemes taking a minority position in Intercim LLC. Today's announcement illustrates Dassault Systemes and Intercim's commitment to bringing the real world of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES (Manufacturing Execution Software) Software that provides real time access to plant activities that include equipment, labor, orders and inventory. An MES integrates the data with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems so that management has complete control of ) into the virtual world of PLM. The partners will provide a dynamic, real-time ability to execute production orders exactly as planned by manufacturing engineers and close the loop between engineering and the shop floor. Dassault Systemes' investment in Intercim, a partner since 2004, follows a June 2008 Memorandum of Understanding A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is a legal document describing a bilateral or multilateral agreement between parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action and may not imply a legal commitment. to provide the aerospace and defense industry with Intercim's manufacturing operations management solution integrated with Dassault Systemes' V6 platform. This investment strengthens the currently available joint Dassault Systemes - Intercim V5 solution around 3D process planning and manufacturing execution. It also accelerates the development of a new V6 production experience that combines the values of MES and PLM, revolutionizing the sharing of intellectual property between engineering, manufacturing planning and production communities by: * Creating real-time collaboration on product and production lifecycle data in a single online referential between the different communities in the manufacturing supply network, such as design engineering, manufacturing engineering, shop floor, and quality management; * Enforcing engineering-driven production execution on the shop floor, as designed and as planned; * Increasing visibility and traceability for all manufacturing stakeholders of shop floor execution with real-time 3D access to the "as-built" product, process and resource information; * Enabling immediate impact analysis and validation of corrective actions in the virtual model before committing to cost intensive implementations; and * Validating production best practices with engineering for improved product manufacturability, reduced warranty costs and collapsed certification processing time for regulatory compliance. "Because of the trends we see in aerospace and defense, like global sourcing, physical separation of design and manufacturing activities, and engineering specialization, it is critical that information exchange and collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and the supply network be handled in real-time," said John Todd, Intercim president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The combination of Intercim's proven execution and manufacturing intelligence capabilities with the virtual experience provided by Dassault Systemes' solutions allows this type of collaboration and knowledge sharing for the first time." The future of production communities requires the power of PLM 2.0's lifelike experience incorporating shop floor "as-built" information, product and quality analytics, and manufacturing best practices. Dassault Systemes and Intercim's joint vision enables such an expanded PLM 2.0 strategy, which includes the shop floor and supply network's real-time production state. "Intercim and Dassault Systemes have made a revolutionary step forward in terms of manufacturing collaboration with engineering. These two communities are now able to work together throughout the entire supply network," says ARC Senior Analyst Dick Slansky. "It is not enough to stay within the walls of a single plant any longer or focus on the engineering and manufacturing needs of one site. Communication and coordination of all activities across the extended enterprise has become critical. This is especially true in highly regulated industries that carry a high cost of failure." "Dassault Systemes and Intercim share a common vision for increasing customer manufacturing efficiency by bringing together the engineering and production communities through a real-time and accurate 3D production experience." said Philippe Charles, CEO, DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application , Dassault Systemes. "Bringing MES into PLM is a major breakthrough for the industry."
