Dassault Systmes, the 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions provider, and Intercim LLC, the manufacturing and production operations management software solutions provider for advanced and highly regulated industries, have announced that Dassault Systmes has acquired Intercim for an enterprise value base of $36.5 million.
With the addition of Intercim, DELMIA’s virtual production platform now enables customers to demonstrate what they have built was exactly what they had planned to build, and use this conformity information for certification purposes. Doing so, Dassault Systmes defines a new step for PLM, delivering digital continuity from engineering to the real factory operations.
The combining values of DELMIA and Intercim bring together the factory communities with the manufacturing and product engineers, for an immediate common understanding of the products being built with their potential non-conformance and deviations.
“Engineers are now empowered with real-time visibility into manufacturing operations to ensure their designs are compliant with their organisation’s layout and capabilities. Conversely, manufacturing personnel are provided with an opportunity to diagnose problems they encounter and present them to engineering,” said John Todd, CEO, Intercim.
“This announcement supports Dassault Systmes’ PLM strategy, by extending DELMIA’s footprint in Digital Manufacturing & Production to reach a large community of new users on the shop floor,” adds Philippe Charls, CEO, DELMIA, Dassault Systmes. “Leading aerospace customers like Embraer have chosen DELMIA and Intercim to plan and run their global manufacturing operations and this acquisition demonstrates our continued commitment to this industry.”
