BMW chooses V6 PLM solutions to develop the future electrical, electronics, and embedded software (E/E) architecture of its cars.
BMW will leverage the V6 platform to manage the future complexity of embedded systems in its cars by providing a master architecture for all car derivations and enabling continuous modernization of car functions. The re-use of functions and the separation of hardware and software components in the development process will help BMW gain significant cost savings in the E/E domain.
BMW and Dassault Systèmes have signed a ten-year partnership to build the best infrastructure and applications for the E/E domain.
Because of the flexible PLM backbone, and the large degree of out-of-the-box, specialized functionality for systems engineering, thousands of engineers will be using Dassault Systèmes' V6 platform. With the Architecture, Integration and Design for Automotive Project (AIDA), BMW will implement a seamless collaborative process to connect the various constituents and actors of the E/E process, putting BMW's customers' values at the center of its innovation initiatives. The V6 PLM systems design solution will be connected to the current BMW enterprise environment, demonstrating the openness of the V6 platform. This successful deployment, already in operation today, is the first step in a ten-year partnership that BMW and Dassault Systèmes have signed to build the best infrastructure and applications for the E/E domain.
"We at Dassault Systèmes are thrilled to see that BMW is using our V6 platform and receives all the benefits of a unified, collabo- rative PLM environment," said Dominic Florack, Senior Executive Vice President, Products - R&D, Dassault Systèmes. "By strengthening V6 with new search technology, Dassault Systèmes provides a new class of PLM Systems Engineering Solutions, which give a strong competitive advantage to our customers."
