PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Industrial companies now have access to a
streamlined, holistic, end-to-end solution for design, automation,
production and lifecycle management, thanks to a new strategic
partnership between Rockwell Automation and
ANSYS (NASDAQ: ANSS). Rockwell Automation, the world's largest
company dedicated exclusively to industrial automation and
information, and ANSYS, the industry leader in simulation software,
announced the partnership at Rockwell Automation's 28th annual
Automation Fair in Chicago.
ANSYS and Rockwell Automation will help customers develop
simulation-based digital twins of products, processes or
manufacturing. Historically manufacturers would dedicate an
unimaginable amount of time and money to develop and test physical
product prototypes. Now customers can design and test through
simulation to accelerate development and analysis, improving
product quality and reducing testing time across their
organization.
"The ANSYS technology, developed with customers in mind, is a
giant leap forward in the industrial sector," said Blake Moret, chairman and CEO at Rockwell
Automation. "Our collaboration will help us better serve customers,
who can make better business decisions to save money and time
because of their access to simulation-based digital twins in their
manufacturing process."
Digital simulation on the front end of production is just one
way customers save time and money. Co-innovation between Rockwell
Automation and ANSYS enables customers to benefit through the
entire digital thread. Once a machine or production line is
running, manufacturers can create a digital twin of their full
manufacturing process to create and test virtual "what-if"
scenarios. For example, by using runtime models generated from
ANSYS® Twin Builder™, industrial companies can adapt to
the market demands with more agility and minimize risk. This
is crucial in the industrial space, where manufacturers need to
change line configurations quickly to adjust to market demands. Now
customers can understand an outcome without disrupting physical
assets, resulting in faster time-to-market and large cost
savings.
"ANSYS empowers customers across industries to develop
innovative, next-generation products by using simulation throughout
the product lifecycle," said Ajei Gopal, president and CEO at
ANSYS. "This partnership with Rockwell Automation is part of our
open ecosystem philosophy, which gives our customers the ability to
make the best business and technology decisions for their
organizations. By combining Rockwell Automation's extensive
expertise and portfolio of industrial solutions with ANSYS'
leading-edge simulation solutions, we will make it easier for
industrial companies to build, validate and deploy digital twins.
Simulation-based digital twins optimize factory operations, saving
money by reducing unplanned downtime and enable engineers to test
solutions virtually before doing physical repairs."
The partners believe in what these joint solutions can deliver.
In fact, Rockwell Automation will accelerate its own internal new
product and process development using ANSYS' engineering simulation
software. Rockwell Automation expects improved product
quality and reduced testing time across the organization.
ANSYS is the latest addition to the Digital Partner Program from
Rockwell Automation announced earlier this week. The program grew
out of market need and demand for solutions to simplify
implementation and enhance quality of industrial digital
transformation initiatives.
