From construction, agricultural, and mining equipment to lifting, handling, and forestry machinery, manufacturers of heavy mobile equipment must develop their products in a way that they can cope with challenging environments and alternating work cycles safely and reliably. Uptime is key. Which is why industry leaders have embraced Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). PLM allows them to engage in a steady, methodological “digital transformation” of their practices. In doing so, they can gradually replace real tests, required for design evaluation, with realistic numerical simulations.
Yet, the advent of electronics, wireless, and control software has challenged OEMs with new operator demands for smart, connected, electrified, and autonomous technologies. Looking at all the technological transformation that digitalization facilitates, along with environmental threats, scarce resources, increasing urbanization, as well as new safety and security regulations - the challenges are so complex that OEMs must turn the corner in their product development to get it right® the first time.
Earning certifications for new technologies, introduced right the first time, and ensuring the behavior of the machine and establishing trust in its next-generation prior to market launch and throughout the lifecycle are two sides of the same coin. This is why we, at ESI, are transforming traditional Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) into managing the Product Performance Lifecycle Management (PPL) - empowering stakeholders to design and manufacture products right the first time and keeping them right. This is possible through the virtual assessment of the whole picture of the final machine, in real life. This is mission-critical for winning in today’s competitive technological landscape.
Your Solution for Increasing the Uptime of Products and Production Processes
Together with our cross-functional teams of engineers, manufacturing experts, and data architects, we bridge the gaps between virtual and real, from product engineering and production operations through to service process engineering and maintenance. Ensure safety and operability of your machines, establish the right fabrication process to achieve your production KPIs, and move machine downtime towards zero with confidence, virtually and without putting operators at risk.
