Case Study: The CT Engineering Group accelerates fuselage assembly commissioning with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE

The CT Engineering Group

The CT Engineering Group, a European engineering company, faced the challenge of developing an automated plant system for joining thermoplastic fuselage shells as part of the MultiFAL project. Their goal was to speed up commissioning time and define detailed production steps for this complex aerospace assembly. To tackle this, they partnered with vendor Dassault Systèmes and utilized the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud.

Dassault Systèmes provided the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, specifically its Engineered to Fly industry solution, which was used for design, simulation, project management, and collaboration. This solution enabled virtual commissioning, allowing CT Engineering to build and test the plant in a virtual environment first. The results were significant: they reduced plant commissioning time by up to 20%, improved the definition of production steps by 25%, and achieved potential cost savings of up to 20% on plant investment and up to 30% on assembly costs.
