COMAU is a global company that designs systems and equipment used by more than 20 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to build their vehicles. Body Welding and Assembly (BW&A), one of six key divisions of COMAU, specialises in designing Body in White assembly lines that perform dozens of complex processes in perfect harmony.
The Challenge
As its global offices proliferated, however, so did the number of different BW&A CAD systems, and the result was anything but harmonious. The incompatible systems isolated each office, making it impossible to share difficult design problems or assign workers in one office to help those in another on large projects.

Benefits
CATIA V5 facilitates the early detection and resolution of design problems. It also improves collaboration across departments and with suppliers and customers.
