IBM today announced a new data preparation solution designed to help clients improve their dataops processes to get their data ready for AI quickly and efficiently.

Data preparation is an integral step in building machine learning and predictive models, but it's also one of the most cumbersome and time-consuming, leading many data scientists to devote up to 80 percent of their time to it.1 And while the quality of the data remains a critical factor in producing accurate models – and more accurate insights – the time-intensive process can stall AI projects.

To ease this process, IBM...

ESI Group attended the 53rd International Paris Air Show from June 17 to 23 2019. By offering immersive experiences and exclusive interactions with its experts, ESI demonstrated the essential role of simulation in helping Aeronautics and Aerospace players in their quest for performance, productivity and sustainability. Its Virtual Reality solution was also featured on customer booths (Daher, Safran Nacelles, etc.).

The aeronautics and aerospace industries are facing major challenges: design and control of the supply chain in light of a significant increase in passenger traffic (6 billion by 2030 against 3.7 billion today), environmental challenges requiring an accelerated...

In June, ESI Group was awarded the 2019 prize of ‘L’Usine Digitale Trophies for Simulation and Digital Technologies’, in the “Innovation” category, along with the ‘audience award’ for its Hybrid Twin™. The prizes were presented to Alain de Rouvray, Founder and Chairman of ESI Group, at the TERATEC Forum, the meeting of international experts in the field of Simulation and Big Data.

The common digital simulation models, referred to as ‘Digital Twins’, are currently meant to predict and drive the behavior of industrial products in Service. However, they are built out of data from past events and based...

Keith Meintjes, a CIMdata fellow and executive consultant, is a veteran of the auto industry. Before becoming a consultant and industry analyst, he spent three decades at GM as a simulation manager, and then managed the automaker’s global CAEIT infrastructure. For him, many of the headline-making product disasters can be summed up as the failure to identify a failure mode.

“We also have a failure to deliver on the promises of systems engineering,” says Meintjes. “I think proper systems engineering would have allowed us to identify and avoid many of these failure modes.”

With systems engineering, products are...
