NEWTWEN: Provides digital twin-based technology
Founded by Francesco Toso, Riccardo Torchio, Milo De Soricellis, Silverio Bolognani, and Piergiorgio Alotto, NEWTWEN was born in 2020 as a spin-off of the University of Padua under the name of Hexadrive Engineering.
NEWTWEN develops advanced software solutions for the electrical drive and automation industry that can quickly and automatically generate Digital Twins that operate in real-time.
The company’s Digital Twins on Chip (DTOC) provide optimal cooling management, real-time monitoring, and model predictive control allowing for lower production costs, higher efficiency, energy saving, and extended lifetime.
The platform integrates Digital Twins into existing systems, enhancing their performance, durability, and dependability.
According to the company, its USP is its ability to achieve these improvements without requiring additional electronic hardware components.
Essentially, it offers a unified solution that directly delivers essential data to the microchip, ensuring unparalleled accuracy for real-time, multi-physics simulations.
This is accomplished while adhering to the computational limitations imposed by the systems’ existing electronics.
NEWTWEN aims to become a leader in the development of software tools that automatically generate embeddable, real-time, and adaptive Digital Twins On Chip.
