Designing Impactful Innovation: E-way Rescue Roadster prototype

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud is fundamental to design in a collaborative way. Airplanes and flying machines, for example, are challenging multidisciplinary systems, and even though everyone works in their own area of expertise, every decision made affects other subsystems.

The challenge is to optimize a complex system and find the best compromises according to requirements in terms of structure, loads, position, and internal volume, among others. Studying these constraints is inherently multidisciplinary and requires high-performance design, digital simulation and collaboration tools.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a team composed of a product designer, mechanical engineer, and doctor collaborated virtually on a solution to rapidly and safely transport patients from home to hospital. The concept of an autonomous flying rescue vehicle was born. While the project could have halted at the sketch phase, this kernel of inspiration was captured on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud and moved seamlessly to the next phase of the product development lifecycle.
