FCN, a connector maker said yesterday it was employing Dassault Systems’ expertise in 3D and PLM solutions to stay ahead amid fierce competition, reducing waste through effective communication cross strait while the local set up RD and sales distribution in Taiwan, and product development in China.
Local electronics connector maker FullConn Industry Inc (全康精密) said yesterday it was employing Dassault Systemes SA’s expertise in 3D and product life cycle management (PLM) solutions to stay ahead amid fierce competition.
Dassault ranks No. 1 in worldwide market share for 3D PLM, followed by Siemens AG, Parametric Technology Corp, SAP AG and Oracle Corp.
The cooperation with Dassault will help the company “reduce waste through effective communication across the Taiwan Strait,” FullConn president Tom Liu (劉嘉仁) said at a media briefing.
The local connector industry is set up in such a way that research and development and sales distribution are headquartered in Taiwan, while production and product development is set up in China.
FullConn is in a business where margin is shrinking, demand is waning and competition is intensifying, especially with Chinese rivals.
“Our biggest concern now is Chinese rivals because they are the ones able to afford lavish spending on expensive equipment from the US and Europe,” Liu said.
