Profilo dell’azienda

Based on the east coast of England in Southend-on-Sea, Ipeco has been designing and building crew seats for the aviation industry since 1972. The company’s seats can be found on executive aircraft, commuter aircraft, commercial jets, and military transporters. It offers more than 100 different models and its crew seats are now the preferred choice for over 300 airlines and operators.

The Challenge

Ipeco’s crew seats must provide comfort and performance for any occupant irrespective of size or weight, and incorporate adjustable vertical and horizontal lumbar support, specially contoured cushions and angled seat-backs. This means managing high volumes of anthropometric and ergonomic data to ensure that each seat is comfortable and easy to operate.

La risposta di Dassault Systèmes

Dave Scott, Ipeco Technical Director explains, “We first purchased CATIA in 2001 and now have 21 seats of CATIA V5 in use. I am convinced that going with V5 was the best decision in order to be able to meet the needs of our customers. Since January 2006 we have been using ENOVIA SmarTeam to manage all our data. It was important for us to have a system which can grow in the future and not need re-writing with each release.”
