A simple video  is better than a long speech...

Scenario : 

• Product view with complete set of fasteners
• MBOM view
• Welding gun automatic search on an assembly step with new parts and fasteners (new variant)  --> An issue is already detected at this level.
• Direct robot simulation and programming in the planning context
• Robot accessibility on new fasteners (in an existing production line)
• Collision issue detection between welding gun and the new part
• Part modification by a designer - Angle change and save.
• The Manufacturing engineer do a "Refresh in session" (no data reload) to get the new version of the modified part.
• Free collision fastener accessibility
• Robot programming on the new parts and fasteners
• Ready to produce

It is possible to play this scenario in less that 5 minutes. I have heard from customer that this scenario can take one month to arrive to do the same result ... Without 3DExperience Plateform obviously !

Derivative scenario : 

• Product change with the same user (Designer and Manufacturing engineer)
• Tooling Design / Modification
• Fastener design / Modification to fit with an existing production equipment
• ...
