Empowering Manufacturers to Master their
Full “Product Performance Lifecycle” (PPL)
Regulatory News:
ESI Group (Paris:ESI), pioneer and world-leading
solution provider in Virtual Prototyping for
manufacturing industries, introduces a complete and
transformational offering to help industrial manufacturers leapfrog
their traditional “Product Lifecycle Management” (PLM), which
focuses on design and development, and manage instead their
“Product Performance Lifecycle” (PPL) during the anticipated
operational product life all the way from maintenance to phase-out.
With recent acquisitions in Systems Modeling, Cloud delivery, Data
Analytics and Machine Learning, ESI has dramatically extended the
customer value of its core business of Virtual Prototyping. Today,
ESI enables its customers to close the loop between:
- on the one hand the product
development space, using digital models to virtually design and
develop – i.e. test, fabricate and assemble – products before they
exist in the real world
- and on the other hand the product
actual operations – i.e. once the product has rolled out of the
assembly line – by incorporating real-time and real-world data to
better understand and mitigate how a product is used, mis-used,
ages and ultimately fails or is retired.
Product Performance Lifecycle (PPL) implementation is
especially relevant to the autonomous systems market (such as for
autonomous vehicles) and in extension, to all other markets related
to connected sensors and cyber-objects, which are currently
experiencing exponential growth. ESI’s Virtual Prototyping
solutions, which already combine 3D-4D detailed ‘passive’ modeling
and 0D-1D reduced ‘active’ system integration, are now acquiring a
‘learning’ aptitude to get autonomous and smart. Virtual
Prototyping immersed in PPL is set to reach a larger community of
professional consumers in the world of smart operations, predictive
maintenance & competitive services.
“ESI’s innovative strategy to combine Virtual Prototyping with
data-driven analytics and immersive Virtual Reality experience
enables industrial manufacturers to maximize the useful and
reliable operational lifetime of their products through constant
performance management,” says Cristian Tanasescu, Executive
Vice President of ESI Group. “Product Performance Lifecycle (PPL)
strongly differentiates ESI from traditional PLM vendors.”
ESI has recently executed a series of strategic acquisitions
destined to make Virtual Prototyping vastly more valuable and
accessible. In order to develop smarter and tentatively autonomous
products, designers and engineers must anticipate multiple new
unknown and associated risks, which now call for simulating the
somewhat unclear ways different sensors and systems may interact
and function/dysfunction together. In addition, it becomes
increasingly critical to enable system ‘fault’ prediction at an
operational level, resulting for instance from design weaknesses,
fabrication defects, or wear and tear, to mitigate detrimental
consequences right from the conception phase. With the ominous
swell of data coming from various sensors, as our vehicles, phones,
homes, and all other ‘smart’ objects in our daily life become
interconnected through the pervasing growth of the “Internet of
Things”, it is essential and critical that not only data analysts,
but also engineers, designers and other stakeholders learn how to
make sense and create value out of the mass of “big data” and
intelligence continuously created.
The users of ESI’s Virtual Prototyping solutions are entitled to
and expect to leverage the latest advancements in Data Analytics
and Machine Learning technologies in an intuitive way, so as to get
quicker answers from their virtual prototypes and to anticipate any
failures in their end product operations. This is what ESI’s Data
Analytics team is dedicated to deliver. We also expect to refine
and provide advanced Computer Aided Engineering solutions (CAE) to
any ‘mobile’ user around the world, without any significant
hardware investment. Today, ESI Cloud enables easy-to-use CAE in
the Cloud and will deliver more and more Cloud solutions in the
near future, so that Virtual Prototyping can be easily accessible
to an increasingly large community of users. Thanks to ESI’s recent
acquitisions of pioneering technologies (namely: CyDesign,
Amoeba/Presto, Ciespace, PicViz/INENDI, Civitec, ITI and Mineset
Inc.), all these concepts and creative teams are now put in
synergistic use, to support data-driven intelligent decision
making.
The deeply transformational Product Performance Lifecycle (PPL)
approach enables manufacturers to develop what has been coined as
the “Virtual Twin” of their real-world product; one that can be
used to make smarter decisions in all product lifecycle stages from
design, development, testing, fabrication, operations and
maintenance-repair to phase-out. ESI is now poised to equip
industrial leaders with the right tools to develop connected
products and predict operation and maintenance conditions from a
very early stage of product design and development.
The worlds of R&D and of real-life maintenance and
operations have never been so close. ESI is now addressing the
extended market of professional consumers — maintenance operators,
and certified technicians — who deal with closer interactions with
products and consumers. In turn, the information obtained in the
Internet of Things via integrated Electronic Control Units (ECU)
and the feedback from professional consumers must reach designers
& development engineers in order to further anticipate and
improve product performance at the operational level.
Meet ESI! Cristian Tanasescu will present at the Needham
Emerging Technology Conference, taking place in New York City, NY,
on May 18-19, 2016.
