DELMIA
Digital manufacturing and operations software for planning, simulation, and execution
About DELMIA
DELMIA is Dassault Systèmes' comprehensive digital manufacturing platform that connects virtual and real-world operations across the entire value network. It enables manufacturers to plan, simulate, and optimize production processes using 3D virtual twins before deploying changes on the shop floor. Available on the 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud, DELMIA covers industrial engineering, manufacturing operations management (MOM), supply chain planning, robotics programming, and MES/ERP through DELMIAWorks. It serves industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods with end-to-end visibility from raw materials to finished products.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- End-to-end digital manufacturing from design to shop floor execution
- Cloud-native 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables global collaboration
- Virtual twin technology lets teams simulate changes before real-world implementation
- DELMIAWorks combines MES and ERP on a single database — no integration headaches
- Strong robotics and CNC simulation capabilities for advanced manufacturers
- Real-time shop floor visibility and production monitoring
Cons
- Enterprise pricing — not accessible for small manufacturers
- Steep learning curve across the broad product suite
- Pricing is largely quote-based with limited public transparency
- Deep integration with Dassault Systèmes ecosystem may create vendor lock-in
- Implementation typically requires specialist partners
Key Features
Virtual Twin Simulation
Build 3D virtual twins of production processes to simulate, test, and optimize operations before making real-world changes on the shop floor.
Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Real-time shop floor monitoring and execution management with live visibility into resource utilization, job status, and production performance.
DELMIAWorks ERP
Integrated manufacturing ERP built around a single database combining shop floor MES with quoting, inventory, accounting, procurement, and financial management.
Industrial Engineering & Process Planning
Design and optimize manufacturing processes using digital 3D tools, time studies, ergonomics analysis, and work instruction authoring.
Robotics Programming & Simulation
Program, simulate, and validate robot workcells in a virtual environment to reduce commissioning time and avoid costly physical trial-and-error.
CNC Machining & Additive Manufacturing
Generate, simulate, and validate CNC toolpaths and additive manufacturing workflows within a unified digital manufacturing environment.
Supply Chain & Demand Planning
Optimize supply chain operations with demand-driven planning, capacity analysis, and supplier collaboration tools across global operations.
Quality Management & Compliance
Built-in quality audit tools supporting APQP, Corrective Action Requests (CAR), and compliance tracking to meet industry standards.
Multi-Plant Scheduling
Optimize production scheduling across multiple facilities with constraint-based planning that accounts for machine capacity, labor, and materials.
