PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS
(NASDAQ: ANSS) announced today that it joined GE's (NYSE: GE)
Digital Predix early adopter program. This move combines the power
of the leading engineering simulation platform with the first and
only industrial cloud offering for industrial data and analytics,
GE's Predix cloud platform. As part of the Predix early
adopter program, the two companies will demonstrate a pilot
integration of ANSYS flagship simulation platform with GE's Predix
industrial internet platform today at GE's Minds + Machines event
in San Francisco.
GE's Predix industrial internet platform is the world's only
industrial cloud offering designed specifically for industrial data
and analytics across such industries as aviation, transportation,
oil and gas, and healthcare. Organizations use this platform to
create innovative Industrial Internet applications that turn
real-time operational data into insight for better and faster
decision making while maximizing machine efficiency.
Engineering simulation software has traditionally been used in
the design phase, and almost every innovative product in the market
today has benefited from it. With the Internet of Things,
simulation is becoming even more essential as advanced products now
combine mechanical, fluid, electronics and embedded software. A
complete systems level model is now necessary to benchmark
operational field data analytics with simulated system performance.
This collaboration with industry visionary GE will demonstrate the
benefits of extending the engineering simulation to the full
product lifecycle from initial design to operation and maintenance
and back again to design of the next-generation machines.
Connecting ANSYS's industry-leading portfolio of engineering
simulation software to the data and analytics platform of GE's
Predix industrial internet platform will help companies analyze the
performance of smart machines in real-world operating conditions –
and make confident predictions that were previously mere
speculation. Physics-based simulation with big data analytics and
industrial devices augmented with embedded intelligence can reduce
risk, avoid unplanned downtime and speed up new product
development.
The resulting efficiency and productivity gains will have a
dramatic effect on organizations' bottom lines as well as on the
global economy in general. GE estimates that Industrial Internet
technologies will help drive hundreds of billions of dollars of
savings alone over 15 years.
By combining machine connectivity with a data lifecycle
management platform powered by engineering simulation, ANSYS and GE
will enable organizations to optimally design their products for
the Industrial Internet, then take the data being relayed on their
performance and use it in the development of the next generation of
those products. The pilot collaboration between ANSYS and GE is
aimed at demonstrating this vision for the Industrial Internet of
Things.
"With Predix, GE is helping to drive digital innovation across
the industrial world—but the success of the Industrial Internet
depends on a collaborative ecosystem," said Harel Kodesh, vice president, Predix and chief
technology officer, GE Digital. "With ANSYS, we look forward to
giving our customers the tools they need to adopt digital
technologies and software to drive better outcomes for their
businesses."
"GE has been a longtime, strategic ANSYS customer, and we're
excited to take our relationship to the next level by helping its
customers around the world innovate faster," said Walid Abu-Hadba, ANSYS chief product officer.
"By combining the power of ANSYS solutions with Predix, we will be
able to empower our customers to push the boundaries of innovation
and productivity – impacting top- and bottom-line business
results."
