## Scope

United States and global plants. The supplier's annual report says it offers computer-aided engineering and digital simulation, that its experts developed digital tools to conduct prototype testing without physical samples, with up to 100% virtual testing for certain products, and that its proprietary AI-based solutions include tools for virtual validation of product performance, which reduce requirements for physical testing. The company's own description; it says nothing about who judges the results or how much engineering time changed.
