The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– Airbus GmbH assigns follow-up order worth 2.3 Mio. EUR in 2002 Stuttgart, July 18, 2002 – For the further development of the wide-bodied passenger aircraft A380 and the wide-bodied transportation aircraft A400M, Airbus GmbH decided to continue to work closely with CENIT AG Systemhaus in 2002. With its 555 seats on two decks, the model A380 is the largest passenger plane world-wide. The giant project is developed online using a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) application. CENIT signs responsible for the training and technical support. More than 800 technical designers are trained for handling the development software CATIA V4 and CATIA V5. At the same time, CENIT supports the specialized divisions in the CATIA method development and application. Covering the method development and the support for CATIA V5 numerical control, the process re-engineering within the production tool construction as well as the simulation of manufacturing processes with the DELMIA simulation tools, CENIT is responsible for a substantial range within the Airbus development. The size of orders rose clearly in relation to last year`s order and amounts to 2.3 million EUR in 2002. “We understand this follow-up order as an acknowledgment of our employees` work in the project so far”, says CENIT`s Member of the Board Hubertus Manthey. He stresses the impact of the order for CENIT: “With this order, CENIT underlines its position as an authority in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) area for the technological development in the aircraft industry. And our company`s strategy – to consolidate our position as the IT service provider for PLM topics in the manufacturing industry – is lastingly confirmed.” CATIA, the implemented software, allows a completely digital development of the Airbus. CATIA facilitates the construction of the airplane virtually on the computer screen and the simulation of functionalities. Thus possible constructional faults can be anticipated. Furthermore, all persons involved in the development and manufacturing process, e.g. technical designers, suppliers and partner enterprises, can collaborate from different locations world-wide on the basis of the PLM solution. end of ad-hoc-announcement (c)DGAP 18.07.2002 ——————————————————————————– WKN: 540710; ISIN: DE0005407100; Index: Listed: Neuer Markt in Frankfurt; Freiverkehr in Berlin, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hannover, München und Stuttgart 180827 Jul 02
