TICO has adopted PLM solutions to integrate the complex design, engineering, and manufacturing technologies used in forklift production across its extended enterprise,” said Raoul Van Engelshoven, vice president, IBM Product Lifecycle Management Asia Pacific. “TICO is a real-life example of how companies can implement a full PLM strategy using the powerful combination of applications in the IBM PLM portfolio along with proven PLM methodologies to gain major improvements in their industrial processes. In addition, this product won the ‘Japan Society of Industrial Machinery Manufacturer’s Award’ for its gentle curved design which was achieved thanks to CATIA V5’s 3D design functionalities.” “We achieved our original targets both by shortening the High Pick Lift development period from 18 to ten months and by reducing development costs by 53%. “Our high-level product development know-how combined with IBM and Dassault Systemes’ pioneering PLM solutions have brought tremendous synergies to the development of the High Pick Lift,” said Kimpei Mitsuya, director and member of the board, Global IT Division, TICO. TICO will integrate its 3D models, 2D drawings, technical documentation and BOM (Bill of Materials) using SMARTEAM, which provides powerful collaborative product development and lifecycle management solutions. In order to accelerate further global collaboration, TICO will deploy IBM and Dassault Systemes’ SMARTEAM solution to connect selected development sites worldwide. Using the collaborative functions of IBM PLM solutions, TICO has been able to integrate its 3D forklift product information with its manufacturing processes and resources and, design and simulate virtual factories using Dassault Systemes’ DELMIA digital manufacturing solution. This presents a major advantage in forklift development, commonly dictated by the built-to-order model consisting of many variations and options. CATIA V5 Knowledgeware technology helped TICO achieve these goals by allowing the company to automatically combine standard design definitions with customer-specific functional requirements. The solutions were implemented to develop forklifts as part of IT Propulsion, a company-wide program designed to improve business reactivity through the use of 3D data and improved information management and sharing. TICO began using PLM solutions from IBM and Dassault Systemes in late 2000. Dassault Systemes also announced that TICO is currently using its DELMIA solution for the development, simulation and management in real-time of TICO’s factory tools and production processes. Tokyo, Japan and Paris, France - NovemTOYOTA INDUSTRIES CORPORATION (TICO), a world leader in the industrial vehicle market, IBM and Dassault Systemes (Nasdaq: DASTY Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today announced that TICO has significantly reduced development costs and cycles of its High Pick Lift forklift using IBM Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, including CATIA V5 developed by Dassault Systemes.
