POWERING HUMAN INDUSTRY EXPERIENCES

ECONOMY SECTORS WE SERVE

The industry of the 21st century is a continuous system of creation,
production and exchange of experiences. Every day our customers
turn industry challenges into business opportunities and deliver
value to their customers. They are seeking new, holistic ways ofinnovating and contributing to tomorrow’s sustainable economy.
As an example, car manufacturers are becoming mobility actors
and as such, they need to encompass the entire mobility experience
including infrastructure, vehicle safety, energy refill and recycling
among others.

Industry Solutions Experiences are based on a deep understandingof industrial processes and are tailored for each of the industries weserve. Dassault Systèmes serves eleven industries structured into
three sectors:

To meet those challenges, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform connects
knowledge and know-how via Industry Solution Experiences.
Powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, they integrate people,resources, processes, data and interfaces for improved efficiency
and collaboration helping customers conceive innovative solutions
and becoming more sustainable.

VIRTUAL TWIN EXPERIENCES
A virtual twin experience is a representation of the real world
based on mathematical models and scientific laws, not just a
digital copy of it. It combines the virtual, in the form of an abstract
model of an object and the real, in the form of data coming fromthe enterprise, the Internet of Things and the cloud.
