Hexagon Acquires AI and Digital Twin Specialist
September 1, 2021
Hexagon AB has announced the acquisition of CADLM SAS.
Founded in 1989, France-based CADLM has years of experience developing computational design and optimization methods for industrial products and processes, and since 2014 has been developing AI and machine learning solutions. Its ODYSSEE software platform applies AI and machine learning to real-world sensor data and physics-based simulation data to produce accurate, predictive models of a product at efficient computing power levels. The combination enables faster, more efficient simulations of dynamic, multiphysics phenomena-such as automotive crash and safety-that fully characterize and understand real-world product behavior. This insight enables engineers to explore the design space more extensively and interactively and improve next-generation products without prohibitive computing cost or time.
Furthermore, the pervasive use of the digital twin beyond the early design phase enables manufacturers to leverage image recognition, predictive simulation and fault prediction to address challenges such as downtime, throughput, quality and flexibility throughout the manufacturing process.
"The convergence of CAE with advances in data management, AI, machine learning and an increasingly connected manufacturing lifecycle is transforming the industry's ability to address increasingly complex design challenges with rapid innovation and increased productivity," said Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. "CADLM's AI knowledge and technology further strengthen our Smart Manufacturing solutions portfolio, putting data to work beyond the early design phase to improve product design innovation, manufacturing productivity, product quality and environmental sustainability through reductions in material waste."
CADLM will operate as part of Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division.
