TRIESTE, Italy, Jan 6, 2024 – ESTECO is excited to announce its strategic partnership with Optimad, a pioneering numerical solutions provider in the field of scientific computing.

The venture is going to bring advanced Machine Learning and Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) capabilities into ESTECO digital engineering software solutions.

Optimad’s expertise in building XAI (eXplainable AI) applied to numerical simulation perfectly aligns with our commitment to delivering future-proof digital engineering technology. Their Reduced Order Modelling solutions enable engineers to understand and interpret predictions made by machine learning models.

Through this strategic alliance, ESTECO and Optimad will collaboratively integrate advanced explainable AI capabilities into modeFRONTIER and VOLTA, offering users:

• Data-driven design approach: the exploitation of ML technologies enables organizations to combine the simulation-driven design paradigm with a data-driven approach.
• Improved decision-making: the integration of XAI technology will empower engineers and scientists to make better-informed decisions, ultimately leading to better products and time savings.
• Enhanced expertise: ESTECO customer base will benefit from the numerical ingenuity and strong knowledge of ROM, ML and AI methods of the Optimad team.

“We’re excited about the partnership with Optimad, which will take our optimization software to the next level. By embedding explainable AI, we’re not only enhancing our offering but also empowering our users with a deeper understanding of their engineering design processes”, declares Carlo Poloni, President of ESTECO.

“We’re thrilled to partner with ESTECO, a leader in engineering optimization, to bring transparency and interpretability to the AI-driven decision-making process. This collaboration will undoubtedly benefit engineers and researchers by providing more insight into their optimization processes”, confirms Haysam Telib, CEO of Optimad.
