Altair to Present 'AI and Simulation Enabling Digital Transformation' at Hannover Messe 2023

Summary

Altair, a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI), will present solutions that accelerate digital transformation at Hannover Messe 2023 April 17-21, 2023. Altair will be located in Hall 17, Booth E40.
 
As the pace of innovation accelerates, Altair is driving the future of convergence toward a smart, connected everything with comprehensive, open-architecture solutions for data analytics and AI, computer-aided engineering (CAE) and high-performance computing (HPC). Combining our decades of HPC-powered data science and simulation solutions with our Center of Excellence program, Altair RapidMiner platform and Altair Units business model, data analytics becomes an easy, natural part of business.
 
At Altair’s Hannover Messe booth visitors can explore technologies that support digital transformation at every level. Booth highlights include customer exhibitions and the presentation of Altair’s vision for Frictionless AI.
 

Design for sustainability

Altair’s solutions, platforms and workflows for lightweight design and material substitution enable sustainable design. To catch up with software innovation, hardware updates are needed to reduce resources and power consumption. Optimizing for performance and manufacturability allows companies to achieve their sustainability goals within their budgets and means.
 
For example: A pick-and-place robot application from AMPROVE realized a component consolidation from 11 down to just four parts; a standard component elimination of two linear guides and 25 screws; leading to a moving mass reduction of 29.8 kg. All this resulted in a business impact of either a 34% faster production or reduced energy costs by 52%.
 

Accelerate 'E-nnovation'

Altair enables the electronics industry with a smart, multi-attribute approach for mobility, power electronics and PCB development. Optimization and machine learning–together with inexpensive computing simulation at the heart of the design process–enables the creation of digital twins. Digital twin technology enabled Danecca to streamline their battery development process, resulting in a recent project that reduced cooling time by 60%, and increased cooling pump on/off cycles–increasing range by five miles.

Turn concepts into reality

Hardware testing is not feasible for a startup design for series production program. Novus wanted to create a vehicle that was faster and more powerful than other bikes on the market – all while crafting the lightest bike, too. With Altair tools, they turned concept into reality, creating a bike with 400 Nm of peak torque and a weight of just 103 kg.
 
When it comes to creating virtual prototypes for the many different aspects that need to be considered in an e-motorcycle like this, Altair offers the most complete, most flexible solution on the market.

The sustainable art of coffee

System-level digital twin technology also has improved the plant, machine and product design on Gruppo Cimbali’s new Perfetto espresso machine.  
 
“Digitalization is a game-changer hanger for us. With it, we can reduce energy loss, balance peak loads and develop more efficient operating strategies,” said Maurizio Tursini, CTO Gruppo Cimbali.

With digital twin technology, Gruppo Cimbali can improve machine efficiency and realize significant energy savings–thereby making each cup of coffee more sustainable. The company can achieve these savings through early, extensive virtual prototype testing, which empowers it to optimize their products better and faster than ever before.

Frictionless AI

With RapidMiner Cloud and our existing data analytics, engineering and HPC solutions, Altair is retooling the manufacturing sector. The unique solution set and Altair’s open architecture, eliminates the friction that often comes when implementing AI across people and departments, tools and vendors, and data specialists and data consumers. Additionally, it eliminates the financial friction between aspiration and reality. Altair empowers fast, repeatable and successful data analytics projects throughout the organization.
 
In addition to its booth presence, Altair will host the Altair “Data to Value Symposium” in Room 3B on April 19 at the Hannover Messe conventoion center. There, Altair experts will showcase Altair technology alongside customers such as Volkswagen, Sennheiser and others. Another key topic of the event is the discussion about self-service machine learning.

The agenda features presentations on topics including:

• Process optimization for more efficient material and resource use
• Forecasting use cases to minimize raw material costs and environmental footprint
• Energy demand forecasting to avoid peaks and reduce energy consumption
• Best practices for assembly planning
• And more
