Soon, manufacturing companies will be able to design, build and test their entire manufacturing environment using computer simulation. The collaboration between Rockwell Automation and Dassault Systèmes, a world leader in 3D and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, will help make this vision a reality. Working with our customers, we have created complementary manufacturing engineering technologies, built around strong, object oriented data models for representing devices and operations. Our shared vision of a virtual design and production environment enables collaborative mechanical and control design with bidirectional synchronisation. This strategic alliance is committed to help manufacturers: Minimise the time between  design and production; efficiently capture and preserve knowledge across various stages of the production lifeycle; reduce the cost of engineering and ramp-up time; optimise production performance by reducing the  time needed to commission manufacturing operations; optimise manufacturing operations by testing various "what if " scenarios with an accurate, real time, simulation mode.
