Toyota implements XVL solutions

Toyota Motor Corp has adopted XVL applications from Lattice Technology.

Following the announcement of the strategic partnership between Dassault Systemes and Lattice Technology, Lattice Technology has announced the adoption of its XVL applications by Toyota Motor Corporation.

The company is currently using PLM products developed by Dassault Systemes.

Toyota Motor Company adopted XVL applications developed by Lattice Technology in the Production Engineering Department and Manufacturing Department.

XVL Studio, XVL Web Master and XVL Notebook support creation of digital assembly instructions and visualisation of car inspection results.

Dassault Systemes will leverage Lattice Technology's XVL solutions and expertise to create a universal 3D XML open format for product lifecycle management (PLM).

XVL is spreading into various industries including automotive aerospace and consumer goods industries thanks to its lightweight data format and high precision, abundant product portfolio and flexibility in implementation.

It is extensively used across departments to enable design review at the design phase, and 3D data distribution in downstream process.

XVL applications adopted by many companies include XVL Studio for editing and animation of 3D geometry, XVL Web Master and XVL Notebook for data distribution and document data creation using 3D data.

XVL Studio is mainly used in the design department or product engineering department for 3D data viewing, interference check, assembly instructions, and input of process information or animation.

XVL Web Master automatically generates BOM or process tables by creating HTML data with illustrations.

This application is used in the procurement and manufacturing departments.

With XVL Notebook, even an operator who is not familiar with CAD or 3D data operation can easily paste 3D XVL data on documents along with screen shots and annotations.

Thanks to those products, 3D technical documents are generated with largely improved accuracy in data communication.

Integration and utilisation of Lattice's applications has streamlined the circulation of 3D documents such as design review notes in the design department, working instructions in the manufacturing department, and product manuals for the sales/marketing department.

With XVL, many departments are now able to handle 3D data.

Companies using XVL can combine XVL products according to its specific needs.

Furthermore, connections to the data management system means information integration including 3D data occurs at the enterprise level, bringing remarkable productivity improvements.
