Case Study: Safran (Messier‑Bugatti‑Dowty) achieves real-time cross-site digital continuity and faster product development with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE

Safran - Customer Case Study

Safran’s Messier-Bugatti-Dowty confronted fragmented, multilingual, multi-site engineering and manufacturing processes across locations in the UK, Canada and France that made data exchange slow and collaboration nearly non‑existent. To rationalize information systems and streamline development under its MEDS program, the company selected Dassault Systemes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform as the single digital backbone for design, delivery and maintenance.

Dassault Systemes deployed the 3DEXPERIENCE industry solution (including CATIA, ENOVIA V6, SIMULIA, DELMIA and 3DVIA) to establish a single 3D master, real‑time multi‑site collaboration and a zero‑paper workflow. The result was faster development cycles, harmonized cross‑site processes, improved traceability and regulatory compliance, and measurable gains in productivity and quality by eliminating email-based exchanges and ensuring everyone works from the same up‑to‑date product and build information.
