UGS made the announcement in conjunction with today’s opening of the Daratech Summit 2005 event in Cambridge, Mass., where UGS Chairman, CEO and President Tony Affuso is scheduled to deliver a keynote address.
As a result of the agreement, the Volvo Group sites globally will be able to leverage common terms and conditions for using Teamcenter(R) Manufacturing software (UGS’ product knowledge management and collaboration solution), E-factory(TM) software (UGS’ digital manufacturing solution) and Tecnomatix(TM) applications to enable global coordination in manufacturing process planning.
UGS announced on January 4 a definitive agreement to acquire Tecnomatix, a firm involved in Manufacturing Process Management (MPM) software solutions for the automotive, electronics, aerospace and other manufacturing and processing industries.
UGS’ open strategy was a key factor in the decision to choose UGS PLM software as the Volvo Group manufacturing units around the world today have different product data management (PDM), computer-aided design (CAD) and production systems. Volvo Group entities have made a joint decision in this area to select a new common software from UGS. The deploying units globally manufacture trucks, buses, construction equipment, diesel engines and aero engines.
