We work closely with our Technical Account Manager to address each new challenge we face through AWS Enterprise Support entitlements. They connect us […]

Background: Energy companies are seeking methods to run engineering software in the cloud, especially those that need a significant amount of computing and storage resources in short periods of time to bring about simulation capacity instantaneously and reduce project turnaround (for example, Florida-based utility runs PROMOD, Siemens Simcenter customers run CFD, Ansys LS-DYNA customers run […]

Introduction The utilities sector provides essential services to our homes, businesses, and communities. As the world becomes increasingly digitized, electrified, and resource-constrained, the sector faces unprecedented challenges. Three key imperatives have emerged: Modernize and expand infrastructure: Utilities must invest in a sustainable infrastructure that meets growing demand while incorporating green energy sources, reducing waste, and […]

The transition to net-zero is driving unprecedented demand for the critical minerals needed in everything from electric vehicles to wind turbines. Meeting this surging demand is leading the mining industry to a technological revolution of its own – an electrification revolution. Traditionally, mining operations have relied heavily on diesel-powered trucks, excavators, and mobile machinery to […]

One of the main actors within the EV charging industry are Charging Point Operators (CPOs). CPOs are responsible for managing charging infrastructure availability and associated operational costs. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global number of installed public charging points was up 40% in 2023 relative to 2022, and growth for fast chargers […]

Introduction Industrial Asset Performance Management (APM) has experienced a significant transformation over the past three decades. Organizations are shifting away from rigid, time-based maintenance schedules toward predictive maintenance, which enables them to optimize cost, enhance performance, and mitigate risk by anticipating equipment failures before they occur. Today, energy companies are leading the adoption of new […]
