About
Millions of product parts classified on your taxonomy. Infinite reuse. Zero deployment.

Your engineers keep unintentionally recreating parts that already exist — and every one of them costs you. Duplicate part proliferation is a known cost exposure: the annual carrying cost of a single new part number is in the thousands. Multiply that across thousands of new references per year, and the exposure quickly reaches tens of millions — our customer business cases range from 27.5M€ to 50M€ per year.

The root cause isn't a lack of search tools. It's that your part catalog — scattered across PLM, PDM and ERP systems — was not classified on a consistent taxonomy. Until it is, no search engine, no reuse policy and no AI agent can reliably find the part that already exists.

AI-driven Part Classification as-a-Service on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform takes a unique approach: Dassault Systèmes classifies your catalog for you — on your own taxonomy, on our infrastructure, with your experts staying in control through a collaborative validation experience. In this webinar, we'll show you exactly how it works and what it takes to start.

Why watch — what you'll take away in just 30 minutes:
• See the service run end-to-end
From taxonomy and training data to batch classification of the full catalog
• Understand what leaves your IT — and what never does
How your IP stays protected
• Get the numbers to build your case
Quantify your own duplicate-part exposure before you leave the session
• Prepare your catalog for what's next
