Dassault Systèmes SE announced that Faurecia expanded its use of Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform to optimize its automated guided vehicle inbound logistics. Faurecia is using Dassault Systèmes' "On Target Vehicle Launch" industry solution experience based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to determine and validate the best logistics scenarios for make-to-order assembly lines. Faurecia can simulate and visualize AGV routing with regards to work stations, resource availability, assembly constraints and variabilities, line balancing and flow in one virtual twin experience, before starting production for a customer.

Optimizing AGV routing is a key step in Faurecia's digital factory program, which was initiated by its Clean Mobility business and now is used to transform the production processes of seats, interiors and electronics for connected, personalized and predictive automotive "cockpits of the future" in response to these trends. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Faurecia can synchronize machines, optimize supplies, reduce the layout footprint of a shop floor, shorten cycle times, and improve energy and manufacturing efficiency, with full digital continuity across products, processes and a plant.
