Delivering the Hybrid Twin™
Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) has historically focused on solving problems encountered in the design and use of products. We have now moved to a new paradigm in which we build virtual prototypes that allow us to anticipate and detect design problems before they occur. This opens the door to building a complete virtual representation of the product – a Hybrid Twin™– which can co-exist throughout the lifecycle of the actual product – from creation (manufacture), through operational life and to disposal. This can provide essential insights into both the design of the product and its overall quality.
ESI delivers Virtual Prototyping as the foundation for the Hybrid Twin™, synchronized through the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data to receive real-life product feedback to maximize the longevity of a product through intelligent predictive maintenance. With ESI Cloud, its new web-based platform, ESI also aims to deliver Virtual Prototyping and data analytics solutions to any ‘mobile’ user around the world, without any significant hardware investment. ESI is 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: smarter Virtual Prototyping for a smarter factory.
