Delmia Apriso is one of the best-known and most efficient manufacturing execution systems in the world. Used by major global manufacturing companies, Delmia provides a broad view and control of all stages of the production process.
However, with such comprehensive functionality and control levels, the system requires a robust infrastructure that can handle high request demands. In a period of recession, where the priority is to trim assets and optimize processes to the maximum for cost reduction, sustaining such a large-scale structure is no simple task.
In today’s post, we will present some solutions to optimize your Delmia Apriso environment, based on experiences we have gained over several years of providing support for the tool. Follow along with us!
Virtualization
Despite the caveats presented by Dassault Systems, the supplier of Delmia Apriso, regarding environment support on virtualized platforms, this is one of the most viable ways to optimize the physical structure hosting the solution.
With intelligent resource management, it is possible to use the same infrastructure to install all environments that make up Delmia Apriso (Production, Quality, and Development) without performance issues or security issues impacting application operation.

Environment Segregation
Separating the Windows application environments and the Linux database is also an important action to enable infrastructure optimization.
In addition to reducing the demand on servers, the intelligent division of environments facilitates procedures such as technology upgrades, evaluation and correct control of resource usage, and consequently enables better environment management.
Data Archiving
Data archiving of production or custom development is one of the most important solutions to maintain the performance of the Delmia Apriso environment within business specifications without the need to increase resource and server infrastructure.
Based on Data archiving defined with the business area, it is possible to reduce the volume of data actually used, varying basically according to the required retention time. If there is a need to access old data, a custom query can be generated to retrieve the information.
Standard Functions
Every business requires necessary customizations to meet production rules, but keeping integrations, dashboards, and transactions as standard as possible is another important point to keep infrastructure resources optimized. This way, you won’t need to create exclusive functions for file control or improper resource utilization.
Conclusion
Teclógica, through its multidisciplinary teams, can support your company throughout the project cycle, from environment definition, development of ERP and equipment interfaces, software implementation, to technical support and 24×7 monitoring. With 22 years of existence, we have participated in various development and migration projects of the Delmia Apriso – Flexnet platform, acquiring extensive experience in the requirements needed for the complete operation of the platform and, most importantly, within an optimized infrastructure.
