Our Innovations 

Innovation drives our DNA. At Sopra Steria, we design intelligent accelerators and AI-driven solutions that simplify complex engineering, enhance productivity, and enable scalable digital transformation across PLM, manufacturing, and embedded environments. Our engineering automation expertise helps simplify complex workflows, boost productivity, and drive digital transformation at scale.

We industrialise 3DEXPERIENCE deployments by automating configuration, validation and rollout activities. This enables faster platform adoption, reduces manual effort, and ensures consistency across large-scale PLM environments. 
We leverage AI to enhance PLM ecosystems through intelligent bots, automated workflows and decision-support tools. From schema generation to user assistance, these solutions improve efficiency, reduce errors and streamline processes. 

We optimise first article inspection processes through digitalisation and automation, enabling faster validation of manufactured parts. This enhances quality control, reduces time-to-production, and strengthens compliance with industrial standards. Leveraging AI-driven data ingestion and extraction (via Gemini), we automate the generation of First Article Inspection reports, improving efficiency, sustainability, and digital continuity.

We develop advanced automation tools, including RPA, scripting and digital engineering solutions to streamline testing, validation and engineering workflows. These accelerators reduce repetitive tasks and enhance operational efficiency across projects.
We introduce AI-enabled capabilities for embedded systems, such as automated requirement estimation, DO-178-compliant code refactoring, and code-to-flowchart reverse engineering. These innovations accelerate development while ensuring compliance in safety-critical environments.

Case Studies

We helped a Formula 1 Racing company accelerate its digital engineering performance by modernising its PLM backbone, optimising simulation workflows, and improving design iteration cycles—contributing directly to faster decision making and competitive on track performance.
We supported a leading European MRO company in its digital MRO transformation with advanced PLM deployments, configuration governance, and automated quality gates. These contributions improved data accuracy, reduced manual overhead, and supported more efficient maintenance processes.

We worked closely with DMU to establish a digital manufacturing pipeline that integrated Full3D validation and NC automation, significantly shortening the time between design and production for complex aerostructure components.

Supporting these achievements, our AI strategy is clearly defined and strongly aligned with industrial needs: “AI at DMU & Engineering is positioned as a human-centric, industrialised, sovereign, and business-driven capability—focused on scaling real value, not showcasing technology.” This vision fully applies to DMU transformation and engineering automation.

Adoption is a critical success factor. Team has therefore deployed structured AI training and upskilling programs for all collaborators, including:

  • AI fundamentals and responsible AI usage
  • Engineering-specific AI use cases
  • Hands-on tools and assistants integrated into daily workflows

This ensures that AI-driven DMU transformation is understood, accepted, and effectively used across teams.

Team explores AI across multiple DMU & Engineering domains, including:

  • Innovation initiatives on AI-assisted DMU analysis and automation.
  • Knowledge graph–based processing for assembly and reuse.
  • Advanced search and contextual assistants for engineering.
  • Investigations of AI agents supporting design, verification, and documentation activities on a daily basis.

These future capabilities allow us to:

  • Reduce manual analysis and repetitive tasks.
  • Improve consistency and quality of DMU decisions.
  • Accelerate engineering cycles while maintaining compliance.
For a major aerospace company, we support a wide range of embedded use cases across leading aerospace programs, including software integration testing for FADEC and air management systems, system testing on hardware benches for air traffic management systems, and platform verification. Our expertise also covers embedded software development and tool qualification, ensuring compliance and reliability in certified environments.
