ESI Represents Digital Transformation
within the French Program "Industry of the Future"
Enabling Industrial Competitiveness
Thanks to its Virtual Prototyping Software
Paris, France - September 5, 2016 - ESI Group, leading innovator in Virtual
Prototyping software and services for manufacturing industries worldwide,
announces its participation in the "Industry of the Future" program, led by the
French government. ESI will provide its unique capabilities in support of the
digitalization of the industry, virtualization, and the Internet of Things.
Notably ESI's Virtual Reality solution, IC.IDO, perfectly illustrates how
digital technologies can be used to increase industrial competitiveness from
product design to product development, product marketing, maintenance, and to
optimize production.
On May 23, the French Minister of the Economy, Industry and Digital Affairs,
Emmanuel Macron, celebrated the first anniversary of this program, a pillar of
the broader New Industrial France project. The French government has allocated
?1.9 billion in funding to support the development of a cutting-edge
technological offering, with a focus on the following:
· Digitization, virtualization and the Internet of Things
· Man's place in the factory, robotics, enhanced reality
· Additive manufacturing (3D printing)
· Monitoring and control
· Composites, new materials and assembly
· Automated systems and robotics

Manager of Business France, experience the ESI IC.IDO Virtual Reality solution

26, 2016.
The "Industry of the Future" program cites ESI, with its extended offering in
Virtual Prototyping software, as an example of these technological developments.
Founded in France in 1973, the company forged a unique expertise in material
physics and simulation of manufacturing and assembly processes, including for
composite materials which are now widely used to lighten the structural weight
of transport on the road or in the skies. ESI offers Virtual Prototyping
solutions that enable industrial manufacturers to test their products and
manufacturing processes virtually and collaboratively. Allowing for more
affordable and faster innovations, Virtual Prototyping gives ESI customers a
major competitive advantage.
Over the years, ESI has succeeded in growing its technological offering based on
the evolving needs of its clients, across various industrial sectors. Last year,
for example, ESI opened a Center of Excellence to support the growing demand for
simulation solutions specifically tailored for metal Additive Manufacturing. To
support the development of 3D printed parts in the aeronautic sector, ESI
recently joined forces with Airbus and numerous German industrialists to create
the Aerospace Factory for Additive Manufacturing, which was inaugurated in April
at the Ludwig Bölkow Campus (LBC) in Munich.

Today, ESI's digital innovations are at the forefront of the initiative
"Industry of the Future"; especially ESI's Virtual Reality solution IC.IDO. That
solution allows industrial manufacturers to give life to the virtual models of
their products and to test them in immersive 3D, in real time and at full scale,
before a single prototype is made. With this interactive and collaborative
technology, industrialists can detect potential design problems very early in
the development process and avoid errors that are costly in time and money. They
can also make use of Virtual Reality for simulating assembly and disassembly
sequences, in order to increase productivity, or for training purpose, as it's
the case at Aerocampus, Europe's largest training center dedicated to aerospace
maintenance. The benefits brought by digital technologies have become tangible
and these fast evolving methods have been implemented by the best-in class
industrial organizations.
