LEO Virtual Companion: Industrial AI for Process Engineering

Discover how LEO Virtual Companion powered by Dassault Systèmes Industrial AI on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform automates MBOM, routing, and 3D work instruction creation while giving process engineers complete control over quality and release.

Key Metrics Callout:

• Up to 50% higher manufacturing engineering efficiency
• Up to 25% shorter industrialization lead time
• Up to 50% lower cost of non-quality
• 1 FTE Capacity Returned per engineering team through automation

Most manufacturers don’t miss product launches because of major single failures but because they miss them in a hundred small, friction-filled hand-offs between engineering definition and shop-floor execution:

• A design change that isn’t propagated to manufacturing routings on time.
• Work instructions on the shop floor showing outdated tooling or legacy assemblies.
• Multiple manufacturing plants building the same product variant differently because knowledge sits in individuals' heads rather than in a governed system.

1. Delayed NPI & Missed Launch Windows: Manual authoring of routings and instructions creates bottlenecks.​​
2. Duplicated Engineering Effort: Authors build MBOMs and operation sequences from scratch for every plant or variant.
3. Rework & Scrap: Disconnected documentation leads to operator confusion and uneven quality across production sites.
4. Knowledge Loss: Essential manufacturing IP leaves the building when senior process planners retire or move on.

General language models trained on public web text can draft plausible-sounding work instructions, but they cannot verify if an instruction is safe, accurate, or aligned with your specific MBOM, tooling, or engineering governance. In manufacturing, a confident wrong answer is a critical risk.

LEO is built on Industrial AI.

AI grounded directly in validated product, process, resource, and 3D model data within Dassault Systèmes 3D UNIV+RSES environment.
