Episode notes
Winning With A Real-Time Digital Twin
- Ram described winning the Siemens Digital Twin Award with his Formula Student team and building real-time digital twin apps for their race car.
- He used Mendix and AMESim to connect simulation and telemetry and monitor the driver while the car ran.
Workflows Capture Engineering Knowledge
- Cynera focuses on digitizing engineering processes like CAD and CAE into reusable workflows across organizations.
- This lets teams scale repeatable engineering tasks and accelerate development cycles.
Start Automation By Targeting Repetition
- Identify repetitive or business-critical engineering tasks and automate them to save time.
- Start small with Excel automations or end-to-end part development flows and expand once value is proven.
