DCS SOLUTIONS OPTIMIZES PRODUCT QUALITY IN INDUSTRY Companies strive to roll out innovative, high-quality and competitively priced products as quickly as possible. They rely on cross-unit tolerance management as a success factor in optimizing product quality and ensuring process capability in manufacturing and assembly. Design and manufacturing concepts should therefore be validated by virtual simulation as early as possible – ideally during the concept and design phase. In this way, critical aspects can be identified and corrected at an early stage, avoiding costly downstream changes and minimizing production risks. 3DCS variation analysis software is the industry standard for CAD-integrated tolerance analysis, enabling fact-based decision making on quality-relevant criteria that directly impact product costs and manufacturability. The complete DCS software suite, including QDM-SPC, lets companies build closed-loop quality systems along the entire value chain. A PROMISING PARTNERSHIP TECHNODAT has implemented the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE® platform (including CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA, SIMULIA, 3DVIA and EXALEAD) for various
