Altair's Digital Twin Capabilities Open the Door to Innovation

Developing doors, windows, and safety systems for smart buildings, GEZE, a family-owned business employing over 3,000 people worldwide, provides products, system solutions, and services to a global market. Until recently, the company used simulation only at the end of the development cycle for evaluation and troubleshooting. Since the first prototype often didn’t function as intended, necessitating numerous modifications, lengthy iterations, and, the production of additional costly prototypes. GEZE recognized the need to reduce their reliance on prototypes to streamline their development process, ultimately aiming to cut development time and costs. To achieve this, they sought to implement an effective simulation process, including the standardization of simulation procedures and reports, while covering the company’s wide range of simulation domains.
