“Global emission standards requiring OEMs to produce lighter vehicles have made Aluminum Die casting a fast-growing business,” said Dr. Mohan Godse, Executive Vice President of New Product Development-Casting Division, Endurance Technologies Pvt.Ltd. “Aluminum die cast products are found in all types of vehicles, from two wheelers, which include motorcycles and scooters, to three wheelers, which are very popular here in India and four wheel passenger cars and commercial vehicles.”

OEMs need to launch environmentally friendly yet high performing vehicles
at a fast pace in response to a dynamic automotive industry. 

“Today's automotive consumers are very demanding because they desire diversity, fuel efficiency, strength and compliance with standards and all this for a low price,” Dr. Godse said. “In India, for example drivers want comfortable yet affordable vehicles that are sturdy enough to withstand Indian road conditions. OEMs need to comply while accelerating their delivery of vehicles to market, and they depend on us to be responsive as well. It determines their success and ours too.”

“Now project teams throughout the organization can collaborate in real time on virtual 3D models and data that they can all access in a unique environment – the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. With one single click, all our Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) data, all our deliverables, can be retrieved from any location and they are capitalized in the system for future employees,” said Mr. Nitin Bhone, Manager, Transmission R&D.

Dassault Systèmes business partner Xchanging implemented ENOVIA at Endurance. “It has been a great experience to work with the team at Xchanging,” Dr. Godse said. “They deployed ENOVIA from blueprinting the business process documents to extending ENOVIA to the shop floor. They added value to every stage of New Product Development (NPD) and helped us harmonize the engineering process across different business units on the single enterprise platform – the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.”
