Case Study: Daikin Industries increases production line capacity by 30% with Dassault Systèmes' DELMIA QUEST

Daikin Industries improves production line capacity by 30% with DELMIA

Daikin Industries, a global leader in commercial and industrial air conditioning and a major fluorochemicals producer, faced the challenge of building highly flexible, low-cost production lines to respond to rapid shifts in consumer demand after expanding into mass consumer electronics channels. To address short lead times for new plants and the need to quickly ramp production up or down, Daikin turned to Dassault Systemes’ DELMIA QUEST 3D production line simulation solution.

Using Dassault Systemes’ DELMIA QUEST, Daikin simulated existing lines, ran “what‑if” scenarios, and optimized work distribution and resource allocation to remove bottlenecks and trim unnecessary equipment. The vendor’s solution enabled faster plant start‑ups and management buy‑in via 3D animations, and delivered measurable results — Daikin improved process capacity by up to 30% with the same equipment and workforce and shortened design and implementation time.
