Märklin PLM Implementation: CATIA and ENOVIA for Integrated Design
In brief: Case study showing how Märklin unified fragmented CAD systems with CATIA, ENOVIA SmarTeam, and 3DVIA Composer to cut design lead times and costs by 30%.
Case study showing how Märklin unified fragmented CAD systems with CATIA, ENOVIA SmarTeam, and 3DVIA Composer to cut design lead times and costs by 30%.
Märklin replaced multiple legacy CAD tools and manual processes with Dassault Systèmes PLM solutions after acquiring Trix and LGB. CATIA and ENOVIA SmarTeam created a single data environment, eliminated conversion steps between design and production, and standardized top-down design methods. 3DVIA Composer enabled non-engineers to generate technical illustrations directly from CAD data, reducing outsourcing and accelerating documentation.
Consolidated four CAD systems into one CATIA/ENOVIA platform, lowering IT overhead
Eliminated data conversion between development and manufacturing
Implemented top-down design methodology with standardized handbooks
Enabled non-engineers to produce 3D-based technical illustrations in-house
Targeted 30% reduction in design lead times and costs
