ESI Connects Virtual Prototyping
with Product Operational Performance
Empowering Manufacturers to Master their Full
"Product Performance Lifecycle" (PPL)
Paris, France - May 17, 2016 - ESI Group, 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.

opens new doors for manufacturers to support Product Performance Lifecycle.
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.
