EAGAN, Minn., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Intercim, Inc. announced that it has signed a CAA (Component Applications Architecture) partnership agreement with Dassault Systemes, a world leader in 3D and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) solutions. The agreement was completed in June and announced at the Delmia User Conference, October 10-12 in Dearborn, Mich. "Joining together Delmia Model-Based Planning with the Velocity(TM) Process Execution System truly completes the PLM loop," says Paul Meyer, Intercim Vice President of Engineering. "Adopters of this technology will be able to fully leverage the benefits of Dassault Systemes 3D collaboration from concept design through product delivery." The Intercim-Delmia relationship developed while working new aerospace programs that required both advanced technologies and aggressive timetables. As part of the partnership agreement Intercim, using CAA V5 technology, is developing an execution hub -- an extension of the Enovia engineering data hub and Delmia's Parts, Process and Resource planning hub. Intercim's 'Execution Workbench' is based on CAA Services Oriented Architecture for lightweight delivery of model-based planning with embedded execution capability. Users will be able to view and interact with the 3D model to status work, collect data, record genealogy and report anomalies while in the 3D environment. The product is designed to be an engaging interactive experience that conveys information in an intuitive manner to minimize the possibility of errors and maximize the touch-time of users in the production line. "Today's competitive market demands a more interactive and collaborative solution to connect manufacturing planning to execution on the factory floor," said Robert Barlow, VP Channel Development, DELMIA. "This partnership with Intercim offers a configurable PLM and MES integration solution to discrete manufacturers thereby reducing the cost of ownership in extending PLM technologies from engineering planning all the way to operations on the shop floor. The ability to deliver interactive, 3D model based work instructions to factory workers creates a more effective and collaborative environment that results in an unprecedented user experience and enhanced productivity."
