MILLA uses the Dassault Systèmes 3DExperience® platform: an overview in images
Rapid innovation in a highly competitive sector such as autonomous mobility requires agility. Milla has chosen to develop its autonomous vehicles using Dassault Systèmes’ cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Frédéric Mathis spoke about this at the 3D Experience Forum on 28 May, at the invitation of the organiser…
Streamlining the development of autonomous vehicles
The development of an autonomous vehicle is complex. Safety is the top priority for Milla, which is aiming for standards of reliability and protection that are far superior to those of traditional passenger vehicles.
MILLA must incorporate a robust mobile connection, such as 4G or 5G, to ensure that the shuttle remains constantly connected to a supervision centre capable of intervening at any time. Advanced cameras and sensors are also required, both for autonomous operation and to provide remote supervisors with a real-time panoramic view of the vehicle’s interior and exterior environment via MILLA’s specially designed software.
By adopting the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Milla discovered that it could build these features into its vehicles from the outset.
"Achieving a high level of safety requires a rigorous and tightly controlled manufacturing process, with perfect traceability,’ says Frédéric Mathis, ‘Without this, it would be impossible to obtain the necessary approval for our shuttles. That's where the importance of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform becomes clear".
Thanks to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, we can design highly technological machines. A virtual twin gives us the flexibility to adapt our production line in a scalable way. If necessary, we can quickly add a new production line or several workstations, with the certainty that they will operate as planned.
