Adoption of Quality Data Management Solutions by Two Leading French
Automotive Manufacturers Reinforces PlanetCAD's Leadership Position
BOULDER, Colo. April 26, 2001 - PlanetCAD Inc. (AMEX-PCD), the world's
leading developer of engineering application services and interoperability
solutions for the manufacturing supply chain, and SPRING/CENIT, a leading
reseller of CATIA and Enovia products, today announced that PSA
Peugeot-Citroen and Renault Group have adopted PrescientQA(tm) as the
solution of choice for enabling Quality Data Management(tm) (QDM) throughout
their supply chains.
Quality Data Management is an engineering-centric process that saves money,
time and effort by improving the quality and interoperability of engineering
data as it passes through the automotive supply chain. PlanetCAD products
enable the rapid implementation of QDM processes for manufacturers seeking
to streamline operations, costs and production time on each project.
PSA Peugeot Citroen and Renault Group are implementing hundreds of seats of
PrescientQA within their engineering design processes to improve and
maintain high quality engineering data as it passes through the supply
chain. PSA Peugeot-Citroen dominates the European automotive market with
branded ranges of automotive vehicles and heavy goods vehicles. PSA
Peugeot-Citroen was Europe's second-largest carmaker in 1999. Renault Group,
upon its acquisition of the Nissan product line, is the world's sixth
largest automotive group.
"PlanetCAD's business is to enable manufacturers to work faster, better and
cheaper, regardless of the size of the operation," stated Jim Bracking, CEO
and president of PlanetCAD. "The adoption of PrescientQA throughout the
French automotive industry is a true endorsement for PlanetCAD, reinforcing
the importance of quality data throughout the supply chain."
PlanetCAD's PrescientQA solutions measure, monitor and maintain engineering
data quality using a series of leading-edge tools for engineering design.
The products provide automated data quality checking, monitoring and
improvement for computer-based design data across multiple computer-aided
design (CAD) formats. Products include DesignQA(r), DriveQA(tm),
GeometryQA(tm) and CertifyQA(tm).
"SPRING/CENIT and its customers understand the critical need for higher
design standards and data quality in manufacturing in order to improve
efficiency and save money," said Gilles Battier, President of SPRING.
"PrescientQA has proved itself to these major manufacturers through rigorous
testing and benchmarking as being the leading solution for Quality Data
Management."
PSA Peugeot-Citroen selected the PrescientQA products following a detailed
testing program within the organization. Renault Group has recently
accomplished full implementation of the solution after a two-year pilot
program within several engineering departments, using DesignQA and
GeometryQA to improve design standards and geometry quality.
