Learn how it enables to: - Substitute materials - Increase recycled material usage rates - Assess and reduce carbon footprint - AI-optimized products and production ### Tidy up: Feasibility Frontiers - Sourcing Struggles - Software Spend ## Grinding Down the Complexity ![MicrosoftTeams-image (2)](https://web.altair.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2023_Germany/10_Fakuma/MicrosoftTeams-image%20(2).png?width=3300&height=1324&name=MicrosoftTeams-image%20(2).png) The inconvenient reality in the development of plastic products leads to complex challenges with multifaceted scenarios and requires different perspectives on **material, product, and process.** Explore engineering solutions for the plastics industry: design-oriented simulation for component and tool development, integrative simulation, the Altair® Material Data Center™ and the wide range of AI Applications. ## What can you expect at the booth? ![AI-Augmented_Material_Science_810x400](https://web.altair.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2023_Germany/10_Fakuma/AI-Augmented_Material_Science_810x400.png?width=810&name=AI-Augmented_Material_Science_810x400.png) ### AI-Powered Materials Science *“Experts know the situation: many curves have been measured, but exactly the ones you need are missing! This is where AI helps to fill gaps in the data basis: AI makes it possible to complete the necessary information on the basis of measured and simulated historic data. So AI helps saving time and money, especially where the effort is exceptionally high.”* **Dr. Laura Thurn, Material Data Manager, Altair** ![LP_K-preview_810x400_Alpla-on-screen](https://web.altair.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2022-CORP-Plastics/LP_K-preview_810x400_Alpla-on-screen.jpg?width=810&name=LP_K-preview_810x400_Alpla-on-screen.jpg) ### Circular Product Development *“Simulation was the key enabler for this 100% circular packaging system, driving the exploration of new ideas and accelerating the entire development in a cost-effective manner.”* **Oliver Unterlechner, Ideation Manager, Corporate Development & Innovation, ALPLA** ![LP_K-preview_810x400_X-plast-process](https://web.altair.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2022-CORP-Plastics/LP_K-preview_810x400_X-plast-process.jpg?width=810&name=LP_K-preview_810x400_X-plast-process.jpg) ### Material Substitution *“Altair’s complete engineering and CAE workflows for lightweight design and material substitution enable sustainable design.”* **Viktor Seres, CEO, X-Plast** ![LP_K-preview_810x400_Sika-car](https://web.altair.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2022-CORP-Plastics/LP_K-preview_810x400_Sika-car.jpg?width=810&name=LP_K-preview_810x400_Sika-car.jpg) ### Reducing is Better than Recycling *“We follow the motto: Reducing is better than recycling! We implemented Altair’s topology optimization processes as generative design strategy for sustainable plastic products.”* **Stephan Niggemann, Expert Structural Systems, Sika** ![The Digital ManuFacturer A Blueprint to AI-1](https://web.altair.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2023_Germany/10_Fakuma/The%20Digital%20ManuFacturer%20A%20Blueprint%20to%20AI-1.png?width=700&name=The%20Digital%20ManuFacturer%20A%20Blueprint%20to%20AI-1.png) ### AI on the Factory Floor *“The revolution of artificial intelligence is here! Chat-GPT dominates social media, the mainstream media report on the new "AI revolution". What does this mean for the world of work? Why isn't every factory powered by an AI? Reality looks different than the big hype. Although most companies want to invest in AI applications, only 13% are successful in implementing their data strategy.”* **Mirko Bromberger, Director DACH/BeNeLux Marketing, Altair** ### See you in Friedrichshafen ## Request your ticket or schedule a meeting The Altair team is looking forward to talk to you in person.
