"Delmia provides a complete suite of digital manufacturing solutions, which means we can provide our clients - OEMs, Tier I and Tier II suppliers - with best-in-class simulation services, and thereby greater accuracy." According to Hammer, Paslin will be using Delmia simulation software to design production elements and to validate the manufacturing process.
Increased productivity was achieved by Paslin immediately following the company deploying Delmia's UltraSpot.
"UltraSpot enables us to design tooling into the manufacturing process, rather than designing the process around the tooling.
Its extensive robot library ensures correct weld gun for the specific task at hand and its simulation function can verify the capabilities of a fully 'dressed' robot, including all associated wiring and cables.
With UltraSpot's built-in tools, we can automatically place robots in optimum locations to minimize cycle time, further aiding our clients' productivity " Hammer said.
"Any time you switch software, you have to expect a learning curve.
Thanks to Delmia's Support Group, the learning curve was brief, and our productivity was back up to speed within six months.
More importantly, our customers are pleased with the results," said Hammer.
