Addressed by Panelist Ove Schuett
ANSWER: DS strategic offering for achieving product automation is the CATIA Automated Design Process solution. In the past 4 years, we significantly enhanced this solution in V6 to enable:
The definition of the customer process with an ad-hoc user interface, and its execution to provide guidance and assistance to the final user.
The easy design of ergonomic user interface in a declarative manner.
A transparent deployment with no cost, and collaborative design of applications
The management of all this critical IP in the ENOVIA IP Life cycle management solution
These evolutions provide tremendous value to our customers, reducing cost for designing and deploying KBE applications and creating new opportunities for them to reduce engineering cycle time. This solution is very well positioned on the market.
The next step in DS development plan for this solution is to integrate the single unified high level KBE language you are referring to. We are currently developing this feature and it will arrive soon in V6. It will be an extension of Knowledge language (Enterprise Knowledge Language) to easily model concepts, and use them to generate physical data. It will be declarative, high level, generative and demand driven. It will complement our CATIA Automated Design Process solution by bringing more flexibility in the definition of templates.
