“Congratulations, Rob!!

You have been awarded DELMIAWorks Technical Sales Training Certification. You also hold the honour of being the very first person to accomplish this…and you are in a great position to help take DELMIAWorks to market.”

Sent via email by Jim Hoium, Director, Partner Enablement, DELMIAWorks

DELMIAWorks combines engineering resource planning (ERP) and a manufacturing execution system (MES). With one single platform, you see a clear picture of the factory floor. Real-time process monitoring allows you to make decisions quickly and be confident that production and quality control is being executed well.

Rob and several others on the Javelin team went through various phases of “boot camp” training to be able to work confidently with manufacturers considering a new ERP/MES solution.

Rob’s own training experience was eight weeks long, a combination of hands-on training and remote learning. Courses delved deeply into the functionality of the software, from the overall product roadmap to target areas like managing inventory and data flow. He spent another three weeks preparing and performing mock product demonstrations to prove his product knowledge was solid.

Digital transformation is being accelerated

In usual times, there is a small slice of time when a manufacturer is considering adding or changing an ERP or MES. Given the challenges of 2020 however, Rob said it is the perfect opportunity to look for efficiencies and new ways of working.

“Digital transformation is being accelerated. Manufacturers may be facing lost margins and looking for savings. Now is the time to reduce rework and waste. And if you happen to be a bit slower than usual, you’ll have time to carefully list the needs and wants of each department.”

Understanding that moving to a new ERP/MES is a big undertaking for manufacturing leaders, Rob says the most important thing he can do is fully understand the customer’s unique needs, whether they operate a small, single-site or several large plants around the world.

“DELMIAWorks covers the entire process, from the moment you receive a sales order, through scheduling, production, and shipping. We spend a lot of time learning about a manufacturer’s strengths, challenges, and needs, or what functionality they are missing right now. Then we work to meet those requirements.”

End-to-end monitoring in real time

The DELMIAWorks combination of production management and production monitoring, along with end-to-end visibility, provides extraordinary data and analysis. Rob noted one key example – real-time reporting from the factory floor.

“Think of the efficiencies gained when you know a machine is running slower than usual or the scrap rate is increasing. The DELMIAWorks dashboard shows all the processes on the floor. You can see machines down for maintenance, and immediately move orders to different machines. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you were notified in real time and not have to wait for a report at the end of a shift or the end of a week? Think of the savings in material, labour, and rework costs if problems could be corrected before producing non-conforming parts.”

The integrated ERP/MES system contributes directly to a manufacturer’s ability to continually make quality products, be agile enough to meet diverse customer needs, and work with speed and efficiency – all more critical than ever before.

Dassault Systèmes Completes IQMS ERP Software Acquisition https://trimech.com/dassault-systemes-iqms-acquisition/ Tue, 08 Jan 2019 13:00:07 +0000 https://www.javelin-tech.com/3d/?p=41256 Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to become the business operations platform for small and midsized manufacturers seeking digital transformation in today’s Industry Renaissance.

VELIZY-VILLACOUBLAY, France — January 8, 2019 — Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today announced the completion of the acquisition of IQMS, a leading manufacturing ERP software company, for $425 million.  With the acquisition of the California-based IQMS, Dassault Systèmes extends the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to small and mid-sized manufacturing companies seeking to digitally transform their business operations.

IQMS’s software – on premise EnterpriseIQ and software as a service WebIQ – deliver an all-in-one solution to mid-market manufacturers for managing engineering, manufacturing and business ecosystems by digitally connecting order processing, scheduling, production and shipping processes in real time.

IQMS’s solutions are used by 1,000 customers based primarily in the U.S. whose 2,000 manufacturing facilities in 20 countries produce for the automotive, industrial equipment, medical device, consumer goods, and consumer packaged goods industries. Customers include Westfall Technik, KKSP Precision Machining, AMA Plastics, Donnelly Custom Manufacturing, FlowBelow Aero Inc., Global Interconnect, Inc., Jabil Packaging Solutions, Schnipke Precision Molding, Steinwall Inc., Scientific, Inc., Sturgis Molded Products, Tribar, and Ventura Manufacturing Inc. IQMS’s 2017 revenue was around $56 million.

In the context of the Industry Renaissance – the convergence of a diverse and powerful collection of digital technologies that is transforming every aspect of industrial business – the world’s 250,000 small and mid-sized manufacturers must adopt and optimize new ways of producing and doing business through digital transformation in order to innovate and accelerate their growth in an increasingly competitive, global marketplace.

“We must no longer think of industry as a set of means of production, but as a process of value creation. This applies not only to disruptive startups and established corporations, but also to the hundreds of thousands of mainstream manufacturers that produce parts integral to the development of new consumer experiences. In that context, we are creating ‘3DEXPERIENCE Works’: a new family of business applications based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for the mainstream market. The IQMS Manufacturing ERP portfolio rebranded as DELMIAWorks is part of this new business applications family to serve the mainstream manufacturers,” said Bernard Charlès, Vice Chairman and CEO, Dassault Systèmes.

By integrating IQMS’s solutions into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud, Dassault Systèmes will provide these manufacturers with an affordable system for operations that improves the collaboration, manufacturing efficiency and business agility needed to serve their customers successfully.  The manufacturers – many of them SOLIDWORKS users – also gain the flexibility to rapidly scale-up as a business grows. In parallel, these manufacturers can engage in new business opportunities and create value by supplying their manufacturing know-how and services to a large community of designers and engineers in Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Marketplace – the world’s largest virtual factory.

“Given my experience with manufacturing, finance and industry investments, I’m very excited about the future for IQMS and our relationship. This merger represents a turning point in technology for IQMS; the opportunity is immense. Companies like KKSP and all of IQMS’ manufacturing customers will reap tremendous benefit from the enterprise perspective of an international technology partner such as Dassault Systèmes. Dassault Systèmes is a leader in innovation and inspires confidence that we will have the best resources available for future growth,” said Mark Murray, CFO, KKSP Precision Machining.

Dassault Systèmes will help IQMS expand its customer base by leveraging the presence in the mid-market space achieved with Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS applications, which are delivered and supported by the company’s Professional Solutions global partner channel.
