Additionally, enable seamless interaction with complex documentation by querying it using natural language, making it easier to access and understand critical information quickly and efficiently.
Digital Twins
Digital twins optimize performance, improve in-service visibility, predict maintenance needs, and extend product life. Physics-based twins enhance insights, while real-time-compliant reduced-order models (ROMs) enable faster, more accurate decisions. By integrating AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics, digital twins also help detect inefficiencies, automate tasks, and simulate improvements without disrupting operations. Our complete, open, flexible approach empowers your digital transformation—enabling scalable, continuous optimization.
Quality Monitoring
In fast-paced manufacturing, even minor defects can lead to recalls, delays, and lost customer trust. Traditional quality checks are too slow and reactive to keep up. Altair’s smart manufacturing solutions provide real-time defect detection, advanced root cause analysis, and predictive insights that prevent scrap, rework, and downtime. From raw materials to finished goods, quality is always monitored, controlled, and improved—without disrupting your production flow.
