 PDF Realize the value of simulation and MDAO in the enterprise digital thread. Key Takeaways Use of simulations across the product lifecycle has been growing over the years. However, simulation artifacts have largely remained siloed in separate systems in design, testing, and validation workflows. Even proper organization of the data is lacking in most organizations. With growing adoption of simulation from simulation-driven design to digital twins of products and manufacturing processes, there is a need to create traceability of data and process information used while performing the simulations as well as for the results of the simulations. This is not straightforward as processes, data, and systems have independent owners within organizations. Having a configurable PLM connector which interfaces with simulation process and data on one side and PLM solutions on the other side is the only plausible solution to facilitate lifecycle traceability. Configurability of the connector is an important feature to manage the frequent BOM

In ARWINET GmbH and its spin-out, KubeOps GmbH, Bechtle AG has acquired two companies specialising in the two growth areas of Kubernetes and cloud services. Founded in 2011 and located in Bisingen, near Tübingen, ARWINET GmbH and KubeOps GmbH—which was spun off in 2019—employ 93 staff and achieved revenues of 7.4 million euros in the last fiscal year, predominantly with its B2G customers.

KubeOps perfectly complements Bechtle’s service portfolio, particularly for customers in critical infrastructure. Further potential for growth lies in the platform’s scalability to align with other industries, an increase in Bechtle’s cloud market share, and new synergies in the B2G business. Originally developed by Google, Kubernetes
