Securely store, organize, and manage your content and collaborate in real-time with Industry Innovation on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Industry Innovation provides an essential set of apps for real-time, secure and structured data management on all product related content. It enables real-time collaboration in a secured manner, immersive business intelligence to manage business highlights, and easy management and organization of tasks.
Data and Lifecycle Management
Industry Innovation introduces basic Data Management capabilities. Your designs are stored online, iterated and securely managed. Data cannot be lost or deleted by accident. It also provides a scalable infrastructure to allow you to manage maturity of your products and designs by using Lifecycle Management capabilities. |
Manage and Share Content for Effective Collaboration
Distributed team members can share any content in a very simplified way using the 3DSpace app. The app enables users to create and manage collaborative spaces, add members with different access right levels, and provide direct access to any stored content. Access to collaborative spaces is secure, as each user is granted access as a member of a collaborative space with a given role for a given organization. |
Collaborate More Effectively with Streamlined Content
Access
You can access your data anytime, anywhere from any device. Industry Innovation enables global users to easily access product-content and data through a browser Industry Innovation supports the product development process in any enterprise or in any industry. It provides virtual teams with a robust set of collaborative services to increase the innovation, speed, and effectiveness dramatically of core processes (engineering, design, manufacturing, quality, quality, marketing, etc. |
Rapidly Obtain Accurate Design Context
Because assemblies are managed in the “database” and not in “files”, only components selected manually or resulting from intuitive 3D searches are retrieved. An accurate design context is established quickly, Web-based visualization enables fast 3D navigation of an entire product to help quickly establish the right context enabling more time for innovation. |
Easily Find and Reuse IP
Metadata and geometry are indexed, enabling users, from any location to quickly find parts meeting their requirements. Users cans search by metadata or use 3D-based intelligent searches from millions of parts in one single repository. Improved reuse reduces costs and improves quality from using proven technology. |
Improve Product Quality
As the design is authored by globally dispersed teams, the real-time DMU (Digital Mockup) is accessible to anyone in the enterprise with a very intuitive interface that does not require CAD skills. This enables all non-CAD users to participate in reviews to catch the issues much sooner that can be expensive to resolve later in the cycle, thereby improving product quality and reducing cost |
Product Explorer
With Industry Innovation, users can navigate the entire product structure in 3D regardless of size. Users can filter the product structure based on diverse criteria to find the needed parts quickly. The used criteria for filtering can be saved for reuse. Owing to the common data model and data-driven architecture, users can identify dependencies inside one domain and between domains. They can navigate between design components and related items such as other designs, simulations, drawings, manufacturing processes, functional and logical views, etc. Better decision-making occurs when a user can determine the impact of design modifications. |
Enjoy Immersive Business Intelligence
Key performance indicators (KPIs) can be highlighted directly on the 3D design model, using the B.I. Essential tool. Various stakeholders can visualize and present information quickly, displaying specific attributes obtained from various 3DEXPERIENCE® apps. Examples include regulatory compliance, failure rate, program risk level, and product lifecycle stage/maturity. |
Add the power of collaboration and data sharing on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to your SOLIDWORKS portfolio with Business Innovation and inspire unmatched product innovation.
The cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE® platform provides access to a growing portfolio of solutions that work together seamlessly. It serves as a hub for all your product development needs. The Business Innovation solution on the platform enables your teams to create dashboards and communities, aggregate and share data, and connect people and data in one place to empower collaboration, agility, and faster time to market.
The Most Relevant Information All in One Location
Dashboards are the cornerstone of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, allowing you to quickly and securely share essential data such as key performance indicators with executives and customers. Easily create your own dashboard to tailor the experience and display the information that is most relevant to your teams in one convenient location online. Keep your project team informed by sharing any type of media, including images, videos and any CAD files. |
Collaborate Through Communities
Easily create communities with 3DSWYM to share and collaborate on ideas, topics of interest and projects. Share information with teams in real time just as you would on any social platform. Post updates and requests for feedback, engage with ideas, and view and comment on designs regardless of your location. Enable easy sharing of your engineering files with 3DDrive and share interactive content with 3DPlay. |
Intelligently Store Engineering Content
Store everything in the cloud with a storage solution that understands the relationships between the different files you create. From within your dashboard, you can easily add, access and share your engineering content as desired. Visualize, annotate, mark-up and comment on any files, and share them directly with anyone involved in your project. |
Access a Global Ecosystem of Industrial Service
Providers
The 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace provides on-demand capabilities for getting your products from design to manufacturing. It offers intelligent sourcing capabilities helping you find both manufacturers and parts.
