It starts with a big idea

From conceiving an electronic watch; to designing and verifying the control in an advanced, luxury production car; or building a Formula 1 Mars Rover, EST's ultra-high performance modeling and simulation technologies, and mapping and optimization methodologies gives design and production engineers the capabilities to deliver both a verified product design, and the validated physical product, while meeting time-to-market, cost, performance, reliability and safety, and aesthetic appeal objectives.

The problem begging a solution

To design, produce and validate the simplest to the most complex control systems within a specified time and to cost and without having to use incompatible tools and engineering processes. And, utilize a supply chain that is optimized for the task of design and/or manufacturing a validated control system.

EST's unified solution

EST provides a unique and unified set of modeling, simulation and empirical optimization based technologies, products, and methodologies to perform specification and architecture, design and verification, production and validation, diagnosis and debugging, and retirement and mothballing of  control systems constructed from software, electronic and mechanical technologies. EST enables the incorporation of 3rd party tools and models - which preserves a company’s sunk-cost investments in model based engineering.

The structure of the various levels of models constituting the system architecture define the relationships between (and possibly within) suppliers and integrators in the supply chain. Optimal architectures will yield optimal structural relationships within the supply chain.

Benefits

Ultra-high performance - the ability to simulate entire super-systems.
  • The speed advantage of EST’s ultra-high performance simulation technology over any competing technology will be anywhere from 1x for a single control unit, 2.5x for a dual model system in which the 2 models are running simultaneously, to 30,000x for a moderately large system with in excess of 120 models executing simultaneously.

  • The simulation technology lies within 10% of the maximum possible theoretical performance of simulation that maintains the timing accuracy of constituent models for all levels of simulation.
     
Higher productivity for both the design and manufacturing engineering teams, greater product quality, reliability and safety, and reduced time to market.
  • The promulgation of the same engineering paradigm through a company's design and manufacturing supply chains enables the economic benefits of optimized design and verification, and production and validation to be captured by the company and its suppliers.
     
  • The rigorous processes and methodologies underlying EST's optimization and verification processes ensures a disciplined approach to innovation in building complex, optimized control for super systems.
     
  • The adoption of the over-arching EST engineering paradigm enables a highly consistent process to be adopted that is suited to a statistically-based continuous improvement regime.
     
  • A design team may ignore the process oriented methodology, and simply use EST’s simulation and fabric technologies to have a major impact on time-to-market, quality, reliability and safety of engineering a product.

Preserves your investment in existing tools and models.
  • The ability to use 3rd party tools and models preserves the sunk-cost of investment already made by the company in modeling and simulation.
