Airbus and Dassault Systèmes will intensify their long cooperation on the implementation of digital technology within the design, manufacturing, simulation, and services of commercial aircraft, as on February 6 they announced a 5-year Memorandum of Agreement to use DS’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform. With this Airbus will make the next step in its DDMS philosophy, which stands for Digital Design, Manufacturing and Services.
“We are not just talking about digitalization or a 3D experience, we are rethinking the way aircraft are designed and operated, streamlining and speeding up our processes with customer satisfaction in mind,” said Guillaume Faury, President Airbus Commercial Aircraft. “DDMS is a catalyst for change and with it, we are building a new model for the European aerospace industry with state of the art technology. Our target is a robust production setup that offers a reduction in product development lead time.”
Air Show, Airbus’ Digital Transformation Officer Marc Fontaine gave me a little insight in how digitalization is evolving within the Commercial Aircraft department. “We started the big step with the A350, which has everything within a digital backbone. The digital backbone is essential, that’s why DDMS is not only a project, it is a tool suite. A complex tool suite throughout the life of the product. First, you need to connect not only the engineering and manufacturing but also services, customers and supply chain.”
