Summary of our session with Dassault Systems on Digital Twins and 3D data

15+ executives joined our weekly session hosted by Kevin O'Donovan.

The meeting began with introducing Dassault Systems and its purpose-driven approach aimed at creating a sustainable world through the integration of art, science, and technology. We highlighted the company's size, with 24,000 employees and 350,000 customers, and its unique long-term financial model. The discussion emphasized the significance of virtual twins in manufacturing for optimizing operations and reducing costs, while also addressing the inefficiencies caused by companies relying on disconnected point solutions. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform was presented as a cloud-based solution that ensures digital continuity across product development stages, encouraging participants to consider its accessibility and growth potential. Additionally, the meeting covered the importance of understanding technology's real-world applications, lowering barriers for startups to access advanced software, and addressing inefficiencies in engineering processes, particularly the financial impact of using incorrect revisions.

The discussion focused on the 3D experience platform and digital twins, emphasizing their role in enhancing business operations. The platform, with 46 million users, uses digital twins to create interactive, cloud-based systems that improve efficiency and reduce costs. It integrates analysis and simulation tools, real-world data feedback, and cloud deployment for enterprise-level software. Examples highlighted included optimizing factory floors, managing logistics, and improving product design. The platform aims to reduce rework by 30%, accelerate market entry, and provide scalable solutions for startups and large enterprises alike.

Overall, the meeting underscored the need for collaboration and the adoption of innovative practices to enhance operational efficiency.
