In the Songjiang district of Shanghai sits an impressive 18,659 square meter building with a photovoltaic curtain wall that generates an average of 230,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year. Home to a state-of-the-art research and development (R&D) factory for robotic automation company CNBM Triumph Robotics, it’s the city’s first implementation of building-integrated photovoltaics technology – innovative solar building panels that not only serve as the outer layer of a structure, but also actively generate renewable energy.

Producing the panels of glass that make up a building of this stature is no simple task, especially when done with traditional manual techniques. However, CNBM Triumph Robotics’ intelligent robotic lines enabled its parent company CNBM Group to manufacture the new generation of thin-film solar power generation materials with ease. In fact, thanks to its automated processes, CNBM Triumph Robotics’ glass grading and palletizing system – which it supplies to some of the world’s largest glass factories – enables a sheet of glass to be produced every 3.18 seconds.

To continue to innovate and to stay one step ahead of the competition, CNBM Triumph Robotics – which also provides production lines to cement factories and agricultural firms – is undergoing a digital transformation, with the help of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

With several of its sister companies already using Dassault Systèmes’ technology, CNBM Triumph Robotics made the obvious choice of implementing 3DEXPERIENCE platform. CNBM Triumph Robotics decided to utilize ENOVIA for project management, product lifecycle management (PLM) standardization and knowledge banks, and DELMIA for multi-disciplinary collaboration and virtual commissioning.
