Overview
DELMIAWorks, formerly known as IQMS EnterpriseIQ, is a manufacturing ERP system from Dassault Systèmes that combines core ERP functionality with a native Manufacturing Execution System (MES) in a single shared database. Rather than integrating separate ERP and MES products via middleware, DELMIAWorks runs both on one application and one database, so shop-floor data (production counts, quality results, downtime, machine status) updates ERP records such as schedules, inventory and financials in real time.
The platform targets discrete manufacturers -- particularly in plastics/injection molding, automotive, aerospace, medical devices and industrial equipment -- running make-to-order, make-to-stock or mixed production. It includes modules for production planning and scheduling, inventory and warehouse management (with RFID support), quality management, supply chain planning, CRM, financials, and industry-specific tooling such as cavitation and family-tool management for injection molders.
A core differentiator is RealTime, DELMIAWorks' embedded production and machine monitoring capability, which connects directly to shop-floor equipment (including PLCs) to automatically collect production, quality and downtime data without third-party interfaces or manual entry.

Features & capabilities
RealTime Production & Machine Monitoring
Embedded, hardware-level shop-floor data collection and OEE tracking.
- Direct machine/PLC connectivity for automated data collection
- Live tracking of planned vs. actual production
- Unplanned downtime capture and reason tracking
- Real-time OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) calculation
- Cycle count, reject and yield tracking
- Remote, any-device viewing of enterprise or work-center performance
- Manufacturing Intelligence Dashboards with built-in and custom KPIs
Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
Shop-floor execution tightly coupled to the ERP database.
- Single shared database between ERP and MES (no middleware)
- Automatic shop-order updates from shop-floor activity
- Work-center and lot-level traceability
- Shop floor data collection terminals
- Advanced, drag-and-drop production scheduling
Quality Management
In-process and compliance-oriented quality control.
- Statistical process control (SPC)
- Non-conformance and corrective action (CAPA) tracking
- In-process quality data capture tied to shop orders
- AI-assisted visual inspection for defect detection
Inventory & Warehouse Management
Real-time inventory visibility across the plant.
- Advanced warehouse management (AWMS)
- RFID-enabled tracking
- Lot tracking and traceability
- Directed pick and put-away
- Real-time inventory visibility tied to production activity
Industry-Specific Manufacturing (Injection Molding)
Purpose-built support for plastics and molding operations.
- Cavitation management
- Family tool handling for multi-cavity/multi-part molds
- Regrind consumption tracking with blend ratio management
- Scheduling optimized for cavitation and family tools
Supply Chain & Financials
Planning and back-office functions within the same platform.
- Supply chain planning
- CRM and sales quoting/estimating
- Financial management (GL, AP/AR)
- Demand and materials planning
Common use cases
- Giving plant managers real-time, plant-wide OEE and downtime visibility without deploying a separate MES
- Eliminating manual shop-floor data entry by connecting machines/PLCs directly to production and quality records
- Running injection molding operations that need cavitation, family-tool and regrind tracking alongside standard ERP
- Maintaining lot-level traceability and quality records for regulated industries such as medical devices and aerospace
- Unifying inventory, scheduling and financials for make-to-order and make-to-stock discrete manufacturers
- Replacing disconnected point solutions (separate ERP + MES + quality systems) with one database
- Monitoring individual work-center or enterprise-wide performance remotely from any networked device
Strengths & considerations
Strengths
- ERP and MES run natively on one shared database rather than being integrated via middleware or interfaces
- RealTime monitoring connects directly to shop-floor machines/PLCs for automated, hands-off data collection
- Deep, purpose-built functionality for injection molding (cavitation, family tools, regrind) uncommon in generalist ERPs
- Backed by Dassault Systèmes' broader DELMIA/3DEXPERIENCE manufacturing and PLM portfolio
ERP integrations
DELMIAWorks is itself a full ERP with an embedded MES, so shop-floor and ERP data live in the same database rather than requiring integration between two separate systems.

Alternatives to DELMIAWorks in Manufacturing (MES / PLM)
DELMIAWorks — frequently asked questions
Does DELMIAWorks integrate with other ERP systems?
DELMIAWorks is itself a full manufacturing ERP with a natively embedded MES, so it is typically deployed as the ERP of record rather than integrated alongside a separate ERP system. Shop-floor (MES) and back-office (ERP) data share a single database rather than being synced between two products.
How is DELMIAWorks priced?
Pricing is quote-based and not publicly listed. It is commonly sold as a per-user subscription scaled to the number of concurrent users, modules selected, and implementation scope, with costs varying widely by company size.
What is RealTime in DELMIAWorks?
RealTime is DELMIAWorks' embedded production and machine monitoring capability. It connects directly to shop-floor equipment, including PLCs, to automatically capture production counts, downtime, quality results and OEE without third-party interfaces or manual data entry.
Who is DELMIAWorks built for?
DELMIAWorks targets small-to-mid-sized and mid-market discrete manufacturers, especially in plastics/injection molding, automotive, aerospace, medical devices and industrial equipment, that need combined ERP and MES with strong shop-floor visibility.
