Akselos partners with TechnoStar to bring its digital guardian tech to Japan

The Digital Guardian is a predictive digital twin. It combines Akselos’ engineering simulation software with sensors and big-data analytics to create a physics-based virtual replica of an asset in its current environment. The company’s tech is the fastest and most advanced of its kind.

TechnoStar provides 3D modelling, pre and post-processing tools to the automotive, shipbuilding, and electronics industry. The addition of Akselos’ simulation engine to TechnoStar’s portfolio will enable the company to build models and speed up its engineering services for much larger assets through predictive digital twins – something that has never been achieved for large assets in heavy industry. The partnership has already delivered a project to a major Japanese industrial company.

Thomas Leurent, CEO of Akselos, commented: “This is a very important partnership for Akselos. TechnoStar is highly regarded in the Japanese market, and CEO Masaru Tateishi’s endorsement is significant given his background in growing MSC Software’s business in Asia Pacific before it was acquired by Siemens, and building TechnoStar into what we see today. Most importantly, our solutions are a great fit for each other and create something really powerful when combined. We are already working with oil and gas supermajors in Europe and the USA, and look forward to working with TechnoStar to bring the technology to Japan, Korea and beyond.

Masaru Tateishi, CEO of TechnoStar said: “When we first introduced to Akselos we were blown away by the power of the technology. We are on the front line of the CAE industry and we had never seen anything quite like it. The speed Akselos claimed to have achieved seemed impossible to us, but after working closely with the team and the software we realised that it was in fact a reality. Our shipbuilding customers are now much more serious about creating digital twins as a result. We are very happy to partner with Akselos to drive real innovation in the CAE world, with breakthrough technology that marks the beginning of a new era.”

Akselos Integra’s patented algorithms, licensed from MIT, enables fully detailed models of large-scale assets to be simulated 1,000 times faster than anything else on the market. This allows the model to capture the true condition of the asset, regardless of size, to create a highly predictive digital twin.
