🏢 Organizations: Joby Aviation, Dassault Systems, AWS


Consistent with their commitment to leverage best-in-class tools for innovation in engineering and manufacturing, Joby Aviation took advantage of a major Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) version upgrade of their Dassault Systems 3DEXPERIENCE(3DX) environment to evaluate the benefits of a re-platform in AWS.

Some of the key challenges with their current on-premises solution were cost optimization, performance, availability, scalability (acquiring & releasing infrastructure), data resiliency, and testing new product upgrades. They wanted to make sure the new solution would address these challenges comprehensively and were inclined to take advantage of AWS as a means to modernize the implementation across the different layers of the architecture.

After the successful launch, Joby 3DX users have seen their large designs loading 30-40% faster. Additionally, Joby has achieved a 15% improvement to the application availability by mitigating historical issues related to storage, performance and scalability. Using the AWS modernized 3DX platform, Joby has been able to meet goals for data resiliency and reduced the time for adding additional storage and compute, enabling Joby to address cyclic periods of business demand.

Graph-based models emerge as a promising solution for addressing the complexities of PLM-ERP integration. Unlike traditional data models, which rely on rigid hierarchies and structures, graph models offer a more flexible and scalable approach. By representing data entities as nodes and their relationships as edges, graph models enable the creation of dynamic and interconnected data structures. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in managing complex dependencies and configurations within PLM and ERP systems.
