The common goal of Dassault Systèmes and Kuka is to provide the manufacturing industry with comprehensive solutions for the growing demands in robotics and automation. The collaboration between Dassault Systèmes and Apple aims to integrate Apple Vision Pro into the next generation of the 3DExperience platform to create a new dimension for virtual twins.

Efficiency optimization for robotics and automation

Based on the agreement with Kuka, Dassault Systèmes joins "mosaixx," the digital ecosystem for industrial software solutions from Kuka. This enables customers to acquire and use the 3DExperience platform and solutions from Dassault Systèmes. With expanded access to virtual twin technology and improved collaboration opportunities, Dassault Systèmes and the newly established digital division of Kuka open up new opportunities for companies to develop efficient and flexible solutions—with the potential to sustainably optimize processes and operations. The global market value of industrial robot installations is estimated at 16.5 billion USD—driven by AI, energy efficiency, and other trends. With more than four million industrial robots in use in factories worldwide in 2024, the number of annual new installations is expected to rise to 718,000 by 2026.

The Kuka Group introduced "mosaixx" in 2024 as an open, collaborative cloud platform for industrial software. It provides system integrators and engineers within the growing industry access to a wide range of solutions. This enables the digitalization and automation of factory floors and production machines with an ecosystem approach—regardless of the machine type or manufacturer. The 3DExperience platform and Dassault Systèmes solutions are used worldwide in the industry to virtually design, simulate, and develop products, processes, and infrastructures with real-time data before they are physically manufactured or implemented.

"Through the cooperation with Dassault Systèmes, we expand our 'mosaixx' portfolio with the industry-leading virtual twin technology. Engineers gain the ability to perform simulations and analyses with real-time data, while system integrators benefit from enhanced collaboration and flexible applications that increase adaptability and innovation speed," said Quirin Görz, CEO of Kuka Digital.

"The partnership with Kuka enables bundled access to the 3DExperience platform as well as our numerous applications such as Catia, Delmia, and Solidworks. This opens up new opportunities for customers to benefit from the use of virtual worlds in various sectors. For example, potentials arise in the automotive industry, aerospace, electronics industry, metalworking, logistics, healthcare, and many other sectors," said Gian Paolo Bassi, Senior Vice President, Customer Role Experience of Dassault Systèmes.

The next dimension of product design and manufacturing

World-leading in virtual twin technology, Dassault Systèmes has announced that "3D UNIV+RSES" on the 3DExperience platform will create a new dimension for virtual twins through the power of spatial computing. This is enabled by the new "3DLive-visionOS app," which will be available from next summer. To realize this vision, Dassault Systèmes has partnered with Apple. The goal is to integrate Apple Vision Pro into the next generation of the 3DExperience platform. Through close collaboration at the developer level, Dassault Systèmes and Apple have combined the strengths of both platforms to create an exceptional user experience.

With 3DLive, virtual twins created on the 3DExperience platform move from the screen into the users' physical environment. They benefit from real-time visualization and collaboration in lifelike work environments. Through the advanced cameras, sensors, and tracking of Apple Vision Pro, virtual twins in "3D UNIV+RSES" can interact with the real world—with scientific accuracy. The unique, powerful technology adds value to all industries and fields of work—be it in modeling, simulation, manufacturing, training, or operations. Customers can leverage the full potential of "3D UNIV+RSES" and spatial computing to respond quickly to market demands, ensure scientifically based product quality, accelerate employee training, improve collaboration, and share knowledge and know-how.

"Our engineering collaboration with Apple represents a bold step to reveal the potential of '3D UNIV+RSES.' In this world, 3D is a universal language that connects the real with the virtual," says Elisa Prisner, Executive Vice President Corporate Strategy & Platform Transformation of Dassault Systèmes. "This forms the foundation of our next generation of world representation. The broad and increasing adoption of the 3DExperience platform by our customers gives this collaboration a unique value for our vast, highly diversified customer base. Customers benefit from the great potential of '3D UNIV+RSES' for collaboration and the training of our next-generation AI-based solutions on their own virtual twin datasets."

New cloud platform for industrial-as-a-service

Following the official launch of the collaborative cloud platform in 2024, the next major step for mosaixx is its appearance at Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner booth at the Hannover Messe. The mosaixx platform provides, for the first time, a technological answer to the major challenges of digitalization in production. With the 360-degree package of mosaixx, companies now have everything they need to achieve the overarching goals: eliminating isolated solutions and knowledge silos in factory floors and offices, realizing standardized procedures, and implementing seamless digitalization. The cloud solution combines software and tools from the fields of ECAD, MCAD, simulation, automation, virtual commissioning, and data management specifically for special-purpose machine construction.

mosaixx also brings together distributed engineering teams and system integrators on a central platform. It thus opens the doors to collaborative and flexible working of tomorrow, setting completely new standards in digitalization and standardization from which the entire industry benefits. The result is a transparent Software-as-a-Service solution that represents a turning point in how companies efficiently organize and realize their projects in special-purpose machine construction. Employees are thereby able to collaboratively and productively structure workflows regardless of location. Besides Dassault Systèmes, mosaixx has secured renowned partners from the industrial engineering sector such as Autodesk or Visual Components, whose software is accessible simply and centrally through the mosaixx platform. This cloud solution also finally enables a greatly simplified license management of partner applications.

"The full potential of technological advancement can only be fully realized in special-purpose machine construction if processes are standardized and thoroughly digitalized," explains Andreas Frank, Head of Business Unit at mosaixx. "With our cloud platform, we now provide the answer to the digital imbalance in the manufacturing industry, which leads to isolated solutions and disruptions along the production processes. The future of industrial engineering is cloud-based, collaborative, and efficient. And it begins with mosaixx."
