Dassault Systèmes announced that UNO MINDA Group has adopted Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to drive its new product development process and improve business efficiency. The UNO MINDA Group aims to improve product quality, reliability and cross-functional team collaboration, hence delivering product innovation and meeting aggressive growth targets for the company. The adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will enable UNO MINDA Group to integrate data and systems across the engineering and manufacturing value chain, reduce new product development time, and improve operational efficiencies and product reliability, thereby positively impacting market share.
Over the last decade, the Indian automotive components industry has scaled three times and the industry is expected to register a turnover of over US$ 100 billion by 2020. Looking at this growth potential; meeting and exceeding rising demands in technology, cost and quality is the biggest challenge for automotive suppliers today. UNO MINDA, being a technology leader in the auto components industry, is looking forward to addressing these challenges. For this, Dassault Systèmes’ local partner, CSM Software, conducted a value assessment that detailed a clear roadmap for the deployment and adoption of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform across the group over the next three years.

This deployment is completely aligned with the long-term focus of the group to develop new capabilities and solution addressing Electrical and Mechatronics domains.”
“Global automotive suppliers from India, pursuing new opportunities, want to ensure that they can satisfy customer requirements and still deliver profitable results aligned with their existing resources and capabilities,” said Samson Khaou, Managing Director India, Dassault Systèmes. “Dassault Systèmes has a strong presence in the automotive OEM and supplier ecosystem in India, through our direct and partner networks. Deployment of the ‘Bid to Win’ industry solution experience based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform at UNO MINDA Group through our partner CSM Software will create a new benchmark for the auto component industry and its way forward in India.”
VS Mahadevan, Chief Executive Officer and Director, CSM Software said: “UNO MINDA’s decision to adopt Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform is a natural and significant progression of CSM’s valued relationship with them.
