Digital transformation has become a major business imperative within the product engineering, manufacturing, and in-service operations of global enterprises. Dealing with the design complexity of cyber-physical products is driving the need for increased use of advanced digital modeling, multi-physics performance simulation, and multi-disciplinary design optimization augmented using AI/Machine Learning technologies.

Market Challenges

Industry leaders are increasing the use of physics-based simulation, data analytics, Cloud, and high performance computing (HPC) environments to enable design innovation; reduce overall product design costs; minimize rework and manufacturing defects; reduce maintenance cycle times; and optimize in-service operational performance and costs.

And they are facing increasing challenges in global markets. They have to cope with strong overseas competition, vulnerable supply chains, improving product quality, go to market faster, discover product failures early, increase ROI while saving costs, adopt service orientation and digital transformation, and more. 

There are many solutions to these challenges in the market and it is not easy to identify the best suited one among all these different offerings. And High Performance Computing (HPC), indispensable today for many complex applications in sciences and engineering, is not an exception.

In HPC, too, many new technologies, products, and market opportunities have evolved in recent years. In addition to traditional HPC which is heavily used in Manufacturing (e.g. CAE), we are now able to solve problems in complex multi-physics, digital twins, machine learning, predictive maintenance, and even in big data analytics and natural language processing, all enabled by HPC that will be more and more integrated into corporate IT as part of the ongoing digital transformation.

About this Webinar

Don Tolle of CIMdata will start this webinar with providing a high-level overview of the key industry trends related to the use of advanced digital engineering technologies.

Next, you will learn about a novel engineering simulation platform and unique high-performance containers with huge benefits for corporate decision makers, IT, and engineering, such as:

Benefits for Decision Makers:

• Shorten time to market, improve product quality, energy efficiency, increase ROI
• Strengthening your competitiveness and ability to innovate fast
• Part of corporate digital transformation 

Benefits for IT: 

• Avoid “Do It Yourself”, overcome lack of Cloud/HPC/CAE expertise
• IT-Tools to manage, monitor, health-check, maintain the cloud
• Continuously update cloud resources, services, support, maintenance

Benefits for Engineering:

• Automated flexible always latest HPC as a Service technology with exclusive control (no 3^rd party interference)
• User friendly: "Cloud with one click“ and “no learning needed” virtual desktop
• 10X and more increase in engineering simulation productivity 

And our guest speaker Johan Mikkelä, Product Life Cycle domain architect at FLSmidth will explain how FLSmidth moved their complex simulation workflows from an aged on-premise HPC system to an agile HPC Cloud environment, including challenges and benefits. FLSmidth & Co. A/S is a Danish multinational engineering company based in Copenhagen, Denmark. With over 10,000 employees worldwide, FLSmidth is a market leader in the global cement and mineral industries with process, equipment, and, services know-how.

Webinar target group: CIO, CTO, VP Engineering, Director IT, Engineering Director, and Senior Simulation Engineer.
