## Virtual Development Environments for Connected Industries

Dassault Systèmes will showcase its 3D UNIV+RSES solutions, designed to support the development and scaling of connected and AI-powered infrastructures, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, from March 2-5, 2026.

### Virtual Development and Operations Environments
3D UNIV+RSES offers unified data models that integrate digital twins, simulation technologies, and collaborative engineering processes for data-intensive sectors such as telecommunications, semiconductor manufacturing, data center engineering, and autonomous systems. This solution enables the management of complex assets throughout their lifecycle.

### Virtual Environments for Digital Value Creation
By connecting product, infrastructure, and environmental data into coherent digital workflows, 3D UNIV+RSES supports planning, validation, and operations processes, creating a scalable framework for digital transformation. Modeling, testing, and optimizing complex systems before physical implementation prevents costly changes in later project phases.

### Immersive Demonstrations at Mobile World Congress
The company will host demonstrations in Hall 4, Booth 4B25, featuring virtual reality environments, avatars, autonomous robots, spatial computing applications, and connected objects. These experiences illustrate how industrial AI and digital twins can transition from pilot projects to scalable industrial applications.

### AI-Generated Urban Models for Network Optimization
One application demonstrates optimized communication networks within an AI-generated urban environment. Digital twins connect product, infrastructure, and environmental datasets in real-time, allowing inspection, diagnosis, and maintenance processes to be simulated and validated in a virtual environment.

### Planning and Operating High-Performance Data Centers
Another significant application area is the planning and optimization of data centers. Digital twins simulate facility layout, airflow dynamics, and equipment placement. Thermal loads, energy flows, and spatial dependencies can be analyzed in the virtual model.

### Virtual Validation of Autonomous Robotic Systems
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform, integrated with Westwood Robotics' THEMIS robot, enables the design and validation of complex motion sequences and control logic in a virtual environment before physical implementation. This model-based engineering approach reduces integration risks and allows for repeatable validation of safety and performance parameters.

### Digital Transformation in Connected Industries with 3D UNIV+RSES
Dassault Systèmes positions virtual development environments as a fundamental tool for managing system complexity in connectivity and industrial AI infrastructures with 3D UNIV+RSES. The integration of simulation, digital twins, and immersive technologies addresses technical requirements such as scalability, resilience, and sustainable operations.
