BATZ is Europe's largest cooperative corporation with more than 100 member companies. BATZ needed a PLM solution that provided integration and connection between the design, manufacturing and purchasing processes. IBM implemented CATIA V4 - Manufacturing, Mechanical Design and Shape Design & Styling. By using 3-D CATIA capabilities, BATZ's designers now are able to reduce design time by 40% and manufacturing preparation by 30% on a daily basis. CATIA has sped up the design and planning stages by 60% versus working with physical models. |
