ORLANDO, Fla., June 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS)
and SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced their first solution under a
new partnership to drive the Intelligent Enterprise by linking
engineering and operations. The partnership embeds ANSYS' pervasive
simulation solutions for digital twins into SAP's market-leading
digital supply chain, manufacturing and asset management portfolio.
The partnership's first solution, SAP® Predictive Engineering
Insights enabled by ANSYS, will run on SAP Cloud Platform and
empower industrial asset operators to optimize operations and
maintenance through real-time engineering insights, to reduce
product cycle times and increase profitability. The announcement
was made at the annual SAPPHIRE NOW® conference being held June 5–7
in Orlando.
Organizations can reap tremendous benefits by harnessing the
massive amounts of data created during simulation and from data
gathered by sensors on assets. By linking those diverse data sets,
engineers can gain valuable insights into product behavior to
improve future development and spur innovation. Additionally, they
can develop hybrid models that fuse machine learning with deep
physics simulation models to accurately predict how an asset can
fail after it is deployed.
Connecting these insights to core business processes and to
other asset management solutions from SAP — including SAP
Enterprise Asset Management, SAP Asset Strategy and Performance
Management, SAP Predictive Maintenance and Service and SAP Asset
Intelligence Network — represents a significant leap forward in
SAP's digital twin strategy.
Enterprises can benefit by the real-time insights driven by
tracking how assets are designed, built and operated throughout the
product lifecycle. SAP Predictive Engineering Insights enabled by
ANSYS replaces time-based maintenance of industrial assets with
predictive and prescriptive maintenance. This cloud-based
industrial Internet of Things solution delivers accurate insights
using a combination of real-time and predictive engineering
analyses and ANSYS Twin Builder for building, validating and
deploying digital twins.
"The merger of the physical and digital worlds is disrupting the
way that products are manufactured, brought to market and
operated," said Eric Bantegnie, vice president and general manager,
ANSYS. "By harnessing the insights produced by digital twins, our
customers will be well positioned to leverage that disruption and
leapfrog the competition. SAP Predictive Engineering Insights
enabled by ANSYS will help to fuel their innovation," he added.
SAP Predictive Engineering Insights enabled by ANSYS develops an
asset's digital twin to simulate its behavior under various
environments and stresses, so as to predict problems before they
arise. It relies on information from physical sensors and
physics-based analysis based on ANSYS simulation models to produce
results in 3D visualization.
"The synthesis of the digital and physical asset will enable
companies to capture value throughout the entire product
lifecycle," said Hala Zeine,
president for Digital Supply Chain and Manufacturing, SAP. "This
solution will help equipment operators and service providers to
predict and improve asset performance and reliability with
engineering insights. A digital twin that ties together engineering
models, manufacturing details and operational insights including
financial information is unique in the industry."

enabled by ANSYS, as well as of SAP's broader asset management
portfolio, please visit the exhibition area at the SAPPHIRE NOW
conference.
