Designing an aircraft interior is about much more than creating comfortable spaces for passengers.
Every component must meet strict certification, quality, and traceability requirements while coordinating engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, and aviation authorities throughout the entire product lifecycle.
To address this complexity, UUDS Aero, a specialist in cabin interiors for commercial and business aviation, embarked on a major digital transformation based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform from Dassault Systèmes.
A Single Environment for Design, Certification, and Manufacturing
Until a few years ago, much of the company’s information was spread across multiple systems, making collaboration more difficult and increasing the complexity of certification processes.
By implementing CATIA, ENOVIA, and ITEROP on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, UUDS Aero has connected design, engineering, validation, manufacturing, and the supply chain within a single collaborative environment.
Today, every team works from the same real-time information, ensuring complete traceability for every decision throughout the entire product development process.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is the backbone of our transformation and the foundation on which we will build the company’s next stage of growth.
Faster Certifications with Fewer Manual Tasks
One of the greatest benefits has been in aerospace certification processes.
Automating validation workflows has eliminated numerous manual tasks, reduced errors, and standardized procedures across all company locations.
The results have been particularly significant:
- Process times reduced from two weeks to just two days.
- 50% fewer manual steps required to complete certification processes.
- Greater traceability and compliance with the aerospace industry’s stringent requirements.

Global Collaboration Around a Single Source of Information
The cloud platform enables designers, engineers, suppliers, and external partners to work simultaneously from anywhere while always using the most up-to-date information.
Each project includes secure collaborative workspaces where every participant can access the required data without duplication or information loss.
In addition to improving coordination across teams, this approach promotes knowledge reuse and accelerates the development of new projects.
Ready for the Next Generation of Innovation
After consolidating its PLM platform, UUDS Aero is already working on new initiatives aimed at extending digital continuity throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Its next goals include incorporating artificial intelligence capabilities to automate engineering and manufacturing processes, as well as achieving even more comprehensive configuration management and traceability for products that remain in service for more than fifteen years.
