Automotive Track

ESI partners with industry leaders in leveraging advanced digital technologies to achieve these bold Mission Zero goals. How so? Witness how automakers have started pivoting away from single-point numerical simulation to 100% Virtual Prototyping: they design, engineer, manufacture, assemble and test a new vehicle concept fully virtually – reducing scrap and emissions while introducing more agile and safe operations with a strong focus on the well-being of humans. Getting sustainable practices right, virtually, is the only way forward.

         Highlights include : 

  • Insight from industry leaders on how they embrace digital transformation to reach energy management targets and maximum range without sacrificing comfort, safety, or cost 
  • Expert panel discussions with peers in the Automotive industry ​on the driving forces impacting the future of mobility and our daily lives 
  • Industry presentations sharing best practices and innovative solutions ​for Battery Design Optimization, Range & Energy Management, Manufacturing Processes, Lightweighting 
  • Live demonstration on human-centric product and process validation to predict and mitigate risk, to assure on-time delivery, optimal performance, and a safe work environment with advanced Virtual Reality
