Design validation time shortened at Sanyo
Delmia's Quest and UltraSpot have contributed significantly to Sanyo Machine Works' objectives of shortening design validation time and improving system quality.
Auto makers' vehicle development data have become large and diversified due to a variety of factors, including changing market needs, global disbursement of product development organisations and manufacturing sites, and production of increasing numbers of vehicle models and variants.
Now more than ever, automotive manufacturers must manage, share and use data efficiently throughout the enterprise in order to drive innovation and reduce time to market.
To meet these obligations, Nissan decided to deploy Delmia solutions for body in white, final assembly as well as particular powertrain processes.

Software integrates entire engineering process
Delmia's Process Engineering is a radically different process engineering portfolio of modules utilising the most current methodologies within an integrated IT environment.
Nissan has implemented the Delmia Manufacturing Hub, which integrates product, process and resource (PPR) information into a common data repository.
This allows process planners, manufacturing engineers and resource engineer's access to the latest real-time PPR data.
Product designs, manufacturing processes and resource utilisation, - including the set up of factories, lines, workcells, robot layouts and worker ergonomics - can all be validated in the digital environment prior to any actual production.
In addition, Nissan is also using Delmia solutions for serviceability evaluation and material handling processes.
"Delmia offers Nissan end-to-end automotive process coverage solutions from preliminary process planning to detail validation", said Mr Nakajima, Senior Manager, Vehicle Planning and Strategy Department, Vehicle Production Engineering Division, Nissan Motor Co.
"With Delmia solutions, we are aiming to enable early validation of preparation in vehicle production".
"Nissan's continued investments in Delmia's technology and industry expertise demonstrate the value of our industry-proven digital manufacturing solutions in the global automotive market", said Philippe Charles, CEO, Delmia Corp.
"This partnership between Nissan and Delmia is truly a win-win relationship built on a common vision towards innovative car development processes".
"We are honoured that a global innovation pioneer like Nissan has selected Delmia as a strategic partner, and we, along with our business partners, are fully committed to continuing our support of Nissan", said Bertrand Saint-Martin, President, Delmia Japan.
Delmia and its business partners fully support the deployment of Nissan's digital manufacturing project by defining new work flows, setting up the company's IT infrastructure and providing integrations with Nissan legacy systems.
Nissan will make a presentation on its innovative new car development project using Delmia at the Delmia Asia Pacific User Conference 2004 on 16th November 2004 in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan.
