Dassault Systèmes, a leading technology company, has partnered with AirView Robotics, a company specializing in Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). AirView Robotics is on a mission to create autonomous drones that surpass industry standards in terms of reliability, safety, and robustness, with the aim of transforming industries, enhancing efficiency, addressing societal challenges, and simplifying operations worldwide.
The choice to collaborate with Dassault Systèmes was motivated by AirView Robotics’ desire to revolutionize traditional, time-consuming approaches to design and engineering. According to an official company statement, through Dassault Systèmes’ cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, AirView Robotics has achieved remarkable results, including a reduction in product development time by as much as 30%.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud offers AirView Robotics a comprehensive solution, combining a ready-to-use platform with powerful simulation software. This combination not only saves time but also eliminates the need for expensive supercomputers, providing exceptional capabilities for the team. According to the company statement, the platform’s user-friendly applications have facilitated seamless digital collaboration, streamlining tasks and increasing productivity.
One of the standout features of this collaboration is the real-time 3D modelling, which has significantly shortened engineering timelines and enhanced efficiency in critical areas like design, planning, prototyping, and execution.
AirView Robotics faced several challenges before adopting this technology, including issues with revision control, data redundancy, and a lack of a unified platform for collaboration among stakeholders. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud has addressed these challenges, enabling simulation-driven product development with a unified modeling and simulation approach from the initial design phase. This has reduced the need for extensive physical prototyping and testing, further expediting the product development cycle.
The cloud-based platform has also fostered collaborative teamwork across geographies and time zones through intuitive dashboards. It has facilitated multiple CAD iterations, from initial concepts to final designs of unmanned drones, thanks to built-in revision control. Additionally, by integrating SOLIDWORKS with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, AirView Robotics has not only reduced product development time but also eliminated the need for substantial infrastructure investments.
AirView Robotics is dedicated to revolutionizing the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems by providing solutions that cater to diverse societal needs. Their drones prioritize safety, reliability, autonomy, and performance, setting new industry standards and simplifying tasks across various sectors without the need for specialized training.
According to Varunkumar Manivannan, CEO & Founder of AirView Robotics, “The 3DEXPERIENCE platform’s cloud computing options have resulted in substantial cost savings and accelerated innovation. It serves as a collaborative environment that saves valuable time during design iterations through in-built revision control.”
Deepak NG, Managing Director India at Dassault Systèmes, added, “Our 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers simulation-driven development, reducing product development cycles and the need for extensive prototyping. It streamlines the entire drone design, engineering, and manufacturing process.”
