Case Study: Groupe Renault achieves faster digital PLM collaboration with Eurostep ShareAspace

ShareAspace helps Renault Group increase collaboration efficiency in automotive alliances

Groupe Renault sought to become fully digital in its product lifecycle management (PLM) operations but faced inefficiencies with its manual, point-to-point collaboration processes. These methods were no longer competitive, as they hindered fast data loops with downstream applications and made collaboration with partners like Nissan and Daimler costly and slow. To address this challenge, Groupe Renault selected Eurostep and its ShareAspace solution after a successful Proof of Concept validation.

Eurostep implemented ShareAspace, a secure PLM collaboration hub based on open ISO standards like STEP AP242. This solution integrated with Renault's internal systems to provide partners with a transparent, common view of CAD data and metadata. The results included a consolidated digital mock-up available every 24 hours, the complete removal of data preparation for collaborations with key partners, and a significant reduction in the cost and delay of starting new collaborative ventures with other OEMs.
