Benefits and Advantages of SIMILIA AI

In development and design, Friedrich Boysen GmbH & Co. KG relies on geometric similarity search with SIMUFORM SIMILIA. The solution is integrated into the system landscape and linked to the PDM system AGILE. “Streamlining the workflow” is the guiding principle here. Complex exhaust systems, components, and individual parts can be found systematically and quickly based on geometric or technical criteria. This efficiently prevents duplicate designs and redundant work while increasing the reuse frequency of components.

  • Avoiding duplicate designs
  • Avoiding redundant work
  • Fast retrieval of ad hoc requested design data
  • Optimization of the development process
