In a world where everything is becoming more and more connected, Mabe, a leader in home appliances, is leveraging the convergence of big data, analytics and simulation to accelerate innovation. Martin Ortega, Senior Design Engineer at Mabe, explains how they are using Altair’s AI, data analytics and simulation solutions to uncover insights, create new business opportunities, and advance product development.

Serba Dinamik is an engineering company specializing in operations and maintenance (O&M), engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC), and IT solutions for energy exploration and production firms. Their team worked with Altair to develop a Smart Predictive Maintenance Data System (SPMDS) utilizing Knowledge Studio and Panopticon. Maintenance crews use Panopticon-powered dashboards built into SPMDS to monitor every sensor mounted on operating turbines in real time. AI models built with Knowledge Studio identify potential failures or issues that require engineering attention, and, based on that understanding, take turbines offline only when necessary.

Mahindra & Mahindra is a global pioneer in the transportation business, including automotive, aerospace and the agribusiness. All these systems are required to be interlinked for a properly functioning parent system. Altair worked with Mahindra & Mahindra to develop a solution to visualize combined data from multiple systems. They selected Altair due to our knowledge of the automotive design and manufacturing business as well as our data analytics capabilities.

By extracting real value from their data, manufacturers can make accurate predictions about component life, replacement requirements, energy efficiency, utilization, and other factors that have direct impacts on production capacity, throughput, quality, sales, customer acceptance, and overall efficiency.
