Dassault Systemes and IBM Establish Partnership With IHI to Foster 3D PLM for Shipbuilding.Business Editors SURESNES, France & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 25, 2002 Dassault Systemes Dassault Systemes (Dassault Systèmes S.A.) (Pronounced - Dasoh) (NASDAQ: DASTY; Euronext: 13065) is a leading company specializing in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) software. (Nasdaq: DASTY; 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) and IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) today announced that Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd (IHI IHI Institute for Healthcare Improvement (Boston, MA, USA) IHI Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries (Japan, ship building, aerospace & others) IHI Institute of History IHI I'd Hit It ), a major Japanese shipbuilder and world leader in building merchant ships such as tankers and container ships, has signed an agreement with Dassault Systemes and IBM 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 around 3D 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 (Product Lifecycle Management) for shipbuilding. 3D PLM solutions based on V5 architecture developed by Dassault Systemes and marketed by IBM worldwide, are setting future industry standards which help shipbuilding companies reduce the development time as well as further improve their products. As part of the partnership, IBM and Dassault Systemes will integrate their 3D PLM technologies with IHI's specific industry know-how in order to promote the modernization of shipbuilding, one of the core industries in Asia. Services and support will be provided by IBM and IBM's business partners. Dassault Systemes', IBM's and IHI's implementation of the 3D PLM solutions will start in 2002, and the full deployment is expected to be operational in 2004/2005. 3D PLM for shipbuilding is a natural evolution of product design technologies deployed within other manufacturing industries manufacturing industries npl → industrias fpl manufactureras manufacturing industries npl → industries fpl de transformation . Most of these technologies, validated by other transportation sectors such as rail, automotive and aerospace, can be reused by the shipbuilding industry Noun 1. shipbuilding industry - an industry that builds ships industry - the people or companies engaged in a particular kind of commercial enterprise; "each industry has its own trade publications" shipbuilder - a business that builds and repairs ships . By working with major shipbuilders such as IHI, and with their recent alliances with naval, marine education and commercial shipbuilding businesses, IBM and Dassault Systemes are moving to the forefront of state-of-the-art shipbuilding technology. Now, IHI is using "Ajisai", its own internally developed 3D CAD system, as a product model creation tool from the design to the production stage, and was using CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. V5 for conceptual ship design. The company highly praised CATIA V5's flexibility and data compatibility and its participation in this project has for perspective data compatibility with this "Ajisai". Dassault Systemes, IBM and IHI will work together to integrate the complete 3D PLM solution set along with IHI's know-how concerning the management of attributes specific to the shipbuilding CAD, which is highly complex. Under this partnership, IHI will create a project team, which will collaborate with Dassault Systemes and specialized IBM shipbuilding teams, as well as with IBM's business partners, in order to establish new methodologies to fully exploit the power of 3D PLM. IHI will also define and evaluate the specific needs of the ship design process. John MacKrell, Shipbuilding analyst, CIMdata, said, "Shipbuilders are turning to IBM solutions because of increasing international competition and the necessity to build more value-added, sophisticated ships. To accomplish this, shipbuilders are, in large numbers, migrating to a 3D conception and design environment, and thus are eager to implement offerings such as the blend of technology and best practices provided by IBM and Dassault Systemes. These two companies working in a long-established partnership have stepped forward to make a real commitment to the shipbuilding industry." Kiyoshi Nagai, IHI Shipbuilding Offshore, Senior Technical Director said, "The key words of this partnership are openness and compatibility. In order to reform the current shipbuilding industry activities, and develop new ones for the 21st century, achieving information sharing See data conferencing. and concurrent engineering is crucial, and we also need to combine our customers' satisfaction without having unduly increase costs. To pave our way towards this challenge, we decided to join Dassault Systemes' and IBM's project, to contribute our long experience and know-how, and hope to build a broader ranging and better system." "We are honored that IHI, leader of the world's shipbuilding market, decided to join us in our project. This partnership with IHI is especially meaningful regarding their experience in in-house development, and expresses Dassault Systemes' will to promote the development of shipbuilding applications, and our continuous commitment towards the shipbuilding industry," said Dassault Systemes' Executive Committee Advisor, Francis Bernard Sir Francis Bernard, 1st Baronet (1712-16 June 1779) was a British colonial administrator who served as Governor in New Jersey and Massachusetts. Francis was born in Brightwell, Oxfordshire, England to the Rev. Francis and Margery Bernard and was christened on July 12, 1712. . Raoul Van Engelshoven, Manager of IBM Product Lifecycle Management - Asia Pacific, said, "The fact that the IBM Product Lifecycle Management Solutions have been selected by IHI for this partnership demonstrates the true leadership and pervasiveness of our technologies within the shipbuilding industry. When adding our demonstrated capabilities in supporting strategic new transformations by exploiting these advanced technologies, we are confident we can offer a platform through which IHI will further strengthen its competitive leadership position in this global industry." About IHI IHI was founded in 1853 as Ishikawajima Shipyard, and started its business with shipbuilding. Throughout more that 140 years, its activities grew in diversified, from bridge engineering and plants to special facilities. Its consolidated sales amount for 2000 were 1114 billion and 100 million yen. The group possesses 16 plants in Japan, 34 branches and offices, and 11,842 employees. IHI Shipbuilding & Offshore is the world leader regarding next generation double hull large tankers and large containers vessels, and launched a lot of large containers vessels in the world. The company builds SPB SPB Spb Software House SPB Saint Petersburg SPB State Personnel Board SPB Southern Pine Beetle SPB Spindle Pole Body (biology, biochemistry) SPB Special Pathogens Branch (Centers for Disease Control) system LNG LNG (liquefied natural gas): see under natural gas. vessels, ultra slender type super-high speed ferries, luxury cruisers and weather ships, patrol boats, support vessels, etc. They also produce various offshore structures and working ships.
