About The Customer
Maschio Gaspardo is an Italian manufacturer of agricultural machinery. The company was founded in 1964 with the objective of providing mechanical solutions to help farmers do their jobs. Today, the company has a global presence with subsidiaries and sales distribution centers in Europe and Asia, in addition to its main offices in Italy. The company has experienced double-digit growth in recent years, mainly abroad, with expansion into foreign markets by opening two sites in China and India. The company's products include rotary tillers, power harrows, precision planters, cereal seed drills, combined seed drills, minimum tillage equipment, mulchers, sprayers, mowers, mist blowers, round balers, square balers, tedders, swathers, and wrappers. Maschio Gaspardo has a full range of products that cover all the agronomic lifecycle.
The Challenge
Maschio Gaspardo, an Italian agricultural equipment manufacturer, was facing the challenge of meeting the diverse needs of farmers across the globe. The company needed to implement a flexible business environment to rapidly develop a full range of products tailored to farmers’ diverse needs. The demand for customized equipment and services was increasing due to varying local farming needs such as size of land or soil composition. Moreover, the growing demand for organic food and sustainable farming methods had changed the way the land is cultivated. The company's customers expected them to provide precision farming solutions through innovative equipment delivered fast without compromising on quality. To meet these challenges, Maschio Gaspardo needed to transform its business and improve collaboration among design, sourcing, production, and service teams.
The Solution
Maschio Gaspardo adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systèmes to improve governance from engineering to manufacturing to support. The platform was used to enhance the company's collaborative capabilities between its different sites, allowing it to rapidly develop and deliver tailored solutions to the market. The company also used Dassault Systèmes CATIA design application for its mechanical design needs. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provided Maschio Gaspardo with a unique and worldwide data source for product creation and change throughout the complete product life cycle. The platform also allowed the company to create a digital twin of a machine, drastically reducing waste and costs associated with physical prototypes. Moreover, the modularization capabilities of the platform allowed the company to develop and deliver customized products faster to the market without compromising quality.
Operational Impact
  • The 3DEXPERIENCE platform enabled efficient collaboration on a global scale, allowing mechanical designers and engineers to access more than a century of accumulated intellectual property.
  • The platform allowed the company to forego physical prototypes thanks to 3D virtual modeling, reducing waste and costs.
  • The platform provided a single data source, improving the company's competitiveness and technology leadership with innovative products that rapidly respond to farmers’ evolving needs.
  • The platform reduced the time it takes to develop new products by enabling better collaboration and more precise control of product development processes.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced airline travel by 60% due to the ability to interact directly with Indian mechanical designers without leaving the office in Italy.
  • Rapid skill and expertise development in remote R&D engineers due to virtual support from the central R&D department in Italy.
