Need

Display the DMU (Digital Mock-Up) on a regular web browser without any plugin and allow data combining from various sources to be displayed on 3D models as on Google Maps.

Provide an easy access to PLM and DMU for population other than engineering designer (managers, sales…).

Solution

We worked closely with Airbus, leveraging our DocDokuPLM platform to deliver the perfect solution. The solution has to fit the complex aircraft manufacturer environment, made of various existing PLM systems and CAD tools based on Catia by Dassault Systèmes.

We deployed a disruptive solution based on standard Web technologies only, making the service widely available on any desktop OS (Windows, Mac and Linux) as well as on popular mobile systems. Through a sophisticated processing chain – deployable on an enterprise grid computing – the 3D Catia models and the associated metadata are imported to be delivered on a simple web browser without any plugin.

Using web services and JavaScript API, we created mashup applications mixing PLM, 3D models and content coming from heterogeneous softwares.
