A new energy source for mankind

 ITER Organization (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is one of the most ambitious large-scale scientific collaboration intended to prove the viability of #fusion as an #energy source. Breakthrough scientists and engineers from 7 members states and 35 countries cooperate on the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment. The ambition is bold: replicate the nuclear fusion processes of the sun to create energy on earth.

In this video Hans-Henrich Altfeld, Head of Project Control Office at ITER Organization explains how Dassault Systèmes #3dexperienceplatform helps ITER to manage the complexity of this project and tackle first of a kind #engineering, structural complexity, data integrity, #configuration control management, #traceability in manufacturing and operations, change management, organizational and logistical capabilities management, collaboration across a broad network of partners and suppliers.

Hans-Henrich says it beautifully: you just need an internet access from anywhere in the world, foster collaboration to simply get the latest and reliable info you need and take the business decision you need to take.

The program’s end is currently scheduled for 2035 ; question : how do you capture, maintain and enrich a unique know-how over 14+ years?

 A must watch video. Fascinating…and full of energy.

 "Iter" also means, in Latin, "the path", "the way"… ;-)
