Quantifying the Unknown
Uncertainty is a formidable obstacle for a diverse range of manufacturing fields, including aerospace; automotive; energy, power and control; industrial machinery; health technology; and pharmaceuticals. A product is doomed if it looks great on paper but doesn’t work in the real world, so new products commonly undergo many rounds of simulation, testing and redesign before being formally launched. This process is time-consuming and costly—but Madison-based SmartUQ has a solution. SmartUQ’s proprietary software utilizes advanced analytics to quantify uncertainty, drastically accelerate the testing and design cycle, and increase confidence in decisions. This translates into reduced costs, better designs, shorter time to market, and decreased risk for SmartUQ’s customers.
