The Engineering Collaboration Network (ECN)
The „Engineering Collaboration Network (ECN)“ connects opinion leaders of industrial companies with the aim of accelerating the transfer of digital technologies into practice. For this purpose, the ECN provides an ecosystem in which participants can develop a solution demonstrator for a digital engineering use case based on the solution portfolio of Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform and supported by experts from application-oriented research. It brings small and medium-sized companies on the path to new digital business models through guided implementation of the demonstrated technologies. Any interested company can become part of the network and join the ECN ecosystem without any fees.
The three core elements of the ECN
What is a Testbed Operator and Testbed Partner?
As Testbed Operator you
- develop a solution demonstrator for an industry 4.0 topic
- get an 3DEXPERIENCE cloud environment for the development of your use case free of charge
- have to publish your demonstrator and make them known in the industry
- are the point of contact for Testbed Partners
- participate in networking activties
A Testbed Partner
- has the opportunity to test new digital technology for its own use case free of charge
- creates a proof of concept for its use case in collaboration with the Testbed Operator
- can implement the new technology faster in its company based on the proof of conept
- contacts the respective Testbed Operator in case of genuine interest
