Challenges & Objectives
To meet the needs of both sports enthusiasts and professionals, JULBO® develops its products in close collaboration with top-level athletes: the ‘Team Julbo’.
Production is managed entirely in-house from start to finish: creation, design, moulds, prescription lens manufacturing, marketing and sales strategy are all centralised in the Jura region.
The company now exports nearly 50% of its production to over 80 countries.
The main challenges:
- Improving the quality and precision of 3D modelling
- Meeting the dual requirements of technical sophistication and style
- Overcoming technical constraints in design and manufacturing
The keys to success:
- Creating highly technical and precise designs
- Optimised aesthetics to enhance product quality
- Overcoming geometric design constraints to let imagination guide innovation
DV DIGITAL solution
Following a benchmarking exercise lasting several months, the company chose Siemens Digital Industries Software’s NX software to replace its existing design tool, Autodesk’s PowerShape®.
Flavien Saniard, who is responsible for creating the JULBO® collections, led the process of evaluating the software and selecting NX.
DV DIGITAL is supporting JULBO® in its digital transformation journey by streamlining the digital workflow between PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and PIM (Product Information Management).
