Hydrogen Production – Dassault Systèmes, McPhy and Visiativ join forces to accelerate the transition to green energy.
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA), McPhy Energy (Euronext Paris: FR0011742329, MCPHY.PA ) and Visiativ (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0004029478, ALVIV) are joining forces to encourage the transition to green energy and enable McPhy to strengthen its competitiveness in the low-carbon hydrogen production and distribution equipment market, confirming its leading role in the hydrogen market.
The three leaders in their fields have joined forces to deploy Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE at McPhy to optimize the performance of its equipment, processes and tools used in its development, engineering and production centers in France, Germany and Italy.
McPhy – a long-time SOLIDWORKS customer – chose to turn to a collaborative platform deployed by the Visiativ teams. The latter offers more collaborative product design and lifecycle management capabilities, helping to support its growth strategy in the face of the ramp-up of its business, particularly with the preparation of its new Gigafactory in France in 2024.
Benoît Barrière, Chief Technology Officer of McPhy, said:
Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, deployed by Visiativ, will help us structure our teams and our business.
“The implementation of a unified architecture across all our sites (France, Italy and Germany) is a key step in McPhy’s industrial ramp-up, with the aim of optimizing the collaborative processes of our European technology teams. We will also reduce the lead time for our customers in product development and project engineering, in particular by modeling the manufacturing process before the launch of our products on the market,”
Achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 means moving away from fossil fuels to fuel the bulk of global energy consumption. McPhy’s low-carbon electrolyzers and hydrogen refueling stations are increasingly recognized by the industrial, mobility and energy markets as a viable solution to decarbonize their operations.
Low-carbon hydrogen can be used to decarbonise the industrial sector as an energy carrier or as a feedstock for steel production. It can also be transformed into clean fuel to charge hydrogen vehicles, injected into gas networks or used as an energy storage solution to contribute to the transition to renewable energy.
The deployment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform will allow McPhy to leverage the knowledge and know-how of all its employees by standardizing design and simulation processes and applications, centralizing data and project management, and facilitating interaction between its teams.
Philippe Bartissol, vice president, Industrial Equipment Industry, Dassault Systèmes, said:
As the world moves away from fossil fuels, our 3DEXPERIENCE platform offers new technological approaches to innovation at all stages of the life cycle, for equipment and products that contribute to a more sustainable economy.
“Game-changing players like McPhy can collaborate, innovate and manage the entire product lifecycle with a virtual twin.”
Visiativ, a long-standing partner of Dassault Systèmes and the digital transformation of companies, supports McPhy in the deployment of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This support will allow all users to better collaborate and innovate by centralizing data and project management.
This structuring and multidisciplinary project was made possible thanks to the perfect knowledge of Dassault Systèmes solutions coupled with the knowledge of this customer’s field issues.
Laurent Fiard, Chairman and CEO of Visiativ, said:
The success of this partnership lies in the collaboration, mutual trust and commitment of the McPhy, Dassault Systèmes and Visiativ teams.
“We are very pleased to support McPhy in this global project, which is part of the company’s strategy. This is a perfect example of how the hydrogen industry is positioning itself to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and we are pleased to engage with McPhy and the hydrogen industry in this journey.”
