Smart Manufacturing
See how Dassault Systèmes’ industrial equipment solutions empower manufacturers to meet the digital demands of smart manufacturing — and stay ahead.
Why Is Smart Manufacturing Important?
In today’s industrial landscape, smart manufacturing is no longer a choice — it’s a necessity. Customers demand customized, high-performance equipment with shorter lead times, greater precision and sustainable production. For manufacturers of specialized manufacturing machinery and line builders, meeting these expectations is increasingly challenging.
Yet, adopting smart manufacturing presents its own set of challenges. From integrating legacy systems to managing data across the value chain, manufacturers must overcome complex technology transitions and cultural shifts. Add to that the need to orchestrate real-time collaboration, ensure traceability and optimize production without sacrificing flexibility — and the stakes get even higher.
Still, for those who rise to the challenge, the payoff is significant. Smart manufacturing is the gateway to leaner, more agile operations, enabling manufacturers to navigate complexity, reduce waste and respond faster to market demands — all while building a resilient and future-ready business.
Beyond Automation: Embracing the Virtual Twin
Many companies already use digital tools to automate isolated processes. But smart manufacturing goes further. It connects everything — from product design to the shop floor — into a single, integrated ecosystem. At the heart of this transformation is the Virtual Twin Experience from Dassault Systèmes.
The virtual twin enables manufacturers to simulate, analyze and optimize operations in real time. It combines the power of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time simulation to deliver insights that drive measurable improvements across the value chain — from design to production to maintenance.
Overcome Key Challenges in Smart Manufacturing
With industrial equipment solutions powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, manufacturers can achieve faster, smarter results — turning key challenges into opportunities and staying ahead by transforming:

CNBM Triumph Robotics
“We use simulations to design logistics routes, determine the number of AGVs needed and verify AGV work modes so that our operations are smooth even when we have increased production. This helps us maximize production volume.”
Zhao Man
Engineer
Tezmaksan
“Thanks to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we have increased our productivity in design, production and automation processes. By enhancing communication between our departments, we minimized errors and started to accomplish more in less time. As a result, the price of CubeBOX products has been reduced, making it even more competitive on the market.”
