Our PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), CAD (Computer-Aided Design), MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and MOM (Manufacturing Operations Management) skills are essential to ensure efficient management of the conception, design and production of industrial products. 

DGS, through its subsidiary I3 (and Maneat) is able to offer consultancy and support services for the definition of business requirements, functional analysis and the definition of technical specifications. We also provide training to ensure proper understanding and use of PLM solutions. 

CAD 3D e 2D 

Our experience in the main 3D and 2D CAD solutions allows us to manage integration projects, offering Application Management, Help Desk and Training services. We collaborate with the sectors: 

• Automotive 

• Aerospace & Defense 

providing a team of dedicated specialists. 

MES e MOM 

 In the field of MES and MOM, we deal with the development of turnkey projects, the migration of data from legacy systems, the management of interfaces with enterprise applications. We are able to guarantee operational, methodological and how-to-use support for daily activities, software development for bug fixes and functionality improvements, as well as configuration and customization of PLM-MES/MOM-ERP integration . 

Furthermore, we develop proprietary solutions such as DExCON, which allows the management of data exchange between different PLM systems, and TMUX, a system for proactive monitoring and automation of support activities. 

With our PLM, CAD, MES and MOM skills, we are able to offer complete and customized solutions to optimize business processes, reducing time, costs and risks and guaranteeing a higher quality of the products or services offered. 

Configuration Management (CMII) 

Furthermore, in the context of PLM, we are experts in Configuration Management (CMII), which includes the management and control of product configurations throughout the lifecycle. We are able to provide solutions and processes for the management of product versions, variants and configurations, ensuring accurate traceability and effective control of changes. 

Classification of components 

The correct classification of components is essential to efficiently organize and structure data and information within the PLM system. Through the use of advanced methodologies and tools, we can help companies define classification hierarchies, attributes and nomenclature rules for consistent and consistent data management; leveraging Machine Learning solutions and AI platforms. 

Project requirements management is another critical aspect we address in the context of PLM. We take care of integration projects between product requirements (for example managed with solutions such as Jira or Doors) and PLM solutions, for the correct monitoring of changes and their end-to-end traceability (along the entire product life cycle ). 

In addition to the previously mentioned skills, we also specialize in the interoperability of PLM systems, especially in large projects involving the integration of data from different PLM platforms. 

• We have extensive experience defining and implementing interoperability strategies that enable the reliable exchange and synchronization of data between heterogeneous PLM systems. To ensure correct interoperability and allow seamless collaboration between the different actors involved, we use open standards such as: STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) 

• PLM XML 

Long-term archiving 

Data and information relating to products must be kept in a secure and accessible way over the years, even after the end of the product’s life cycle. We have expertise in defining long-term archiving strategies and solutions that guarantee the integrity, traceability and availability of data even in the long term. 

Through the implementation of long-term archiving solutions, we adopt reliable data retention technologies, such as the use of: 

• standard file formats 
• application of metadata 
• backup strategies 
• disaster recovery 
• Both the interoperability of PLM systems and long-term archiving are essential to ensure the continuity and reliability of information over time, especially in industrial environments where data can have strategic and regulatory relevance. 

I3 – Pioneer of Interoperability and Adoption of Standards in the Product Life Cycle 

Prolonged retention of product data is a crucial element, but equally fundamental is ensuring its integrity, traceability and accessibility beyond the end of the life cycle. This is achieved through the application of specific standards, such as ISO 13303 PLCS, which facilitates interoperability between different data management systems along the various stages of the product life cycle. 

Aerospace and Defense specialists 

I3 currently works with public bodies and private companies in the aerospace and defense sector, offering services focused on various aspects: 

• Ensure interoperability between product data management systems at different stages of the lifecycle. 

• Support processes across the product lifecycle, including Integrated Logistics Support, Lifecycle Assessment and data archiving for long-term reuse. 

• Implement NATO agreements and adhere to the recommendations of aerospace and defense industry associations such as ASD and AIA. 

Standardizing Enterprise Integration 

I3 is at the forefront of implementing international standards for product data management. This includes the adoption of the PLCS (Product Life Cycle Support) standard, which promotes interoperability between different software applications that manage data throughout the life cycle of a product. Our main goal is to integrate heterogeneous systems, foster communication and collaboration between partners, customers and suppliers. 

Specialized Tools and Solutions 

We offer tailor-made tools and solutions for our customers: 

• PLCS SDK: A development toolkit designed to simplify the use of the PLCS standard in software packages that generate and consume product data. 

• eVeryPLM: A platform for integrating the most popular CAD, PDM, PLM and ERP systems through the PLCS standard.
