TurboTides™ and Empower Operations Form Partnership to Provide Industry-first Turbomachinery Software Offering

HANOVER, N.H. - May 23, 2022 - PRLog -- News Summary:

• TurboTides and Empower Operations Announce Software Development Partnership.
• Will create first-of-its kind software enabling rapid turbomachinery time-to-market.
• Will combine direct sales and reseller networks throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Hanover, New Hampshire-based TurboTides, Inc., marketer of state-of-the-art turbomachinery design technology, today announces its new partnership with Vancouver, British Columbia-based Empower Operations, provider of AI algorithms and optimization software, to offer the industry's first turbomachinery design integration software system that includes rapid iteration, simulation and optimization. In addition to developing a first-of-its-kind software system that will drastically cut time-to-market for turbomachinery products, the new partnership will combine the direct sales and reseller networks of each company for the international sale of the new product. Effective February 2022, the two companies started working together to release the new software system, called AI Optimized Turbomachinery, by early June 2022.

What today's announcement means for turbomachinery designers under pressure to deliver powerful, yet energy-saving machines is that, for the first time, they will be able to design compressors, fans, pumps, blowers, expanders and turbines with a seamlessly integrated design workflow combined with a powerful optimizer to achieve fast turnaround times for their design iterations.

"One of TurboTides' main strengths is its seamlessly integrated workflow that combines parameterized geometry, automatic meshing, CFD and FEA in a single program that can be easily invoked by an optimizer; while the OASIS' advanced AI-driven optimization algorithm allows the program to find the optimum design with minimum sampling, which drastically cuts down the time needed for a typical 3D CFD and FEA optimization," said Xuwen Qiu, Ph.D., president and founder of TurboTides, Inc. "I believe our users will be thrilled when they employ this powerful tool and come up with a better design through this user-friendly and automated process."

"At Empower Operations, our mission is to provide the state-of-the-art AI technologies and
solutions to support product and process design," said Gary Wang, Ph.D., chief executive officer (CEO) at Empower Operations Corp. "We are thrilled to partner with TurboTides, Inc. to fulfill this mission and fill a gap in the turbomachinery design, simulation and optimization process with our new product that combines all those capabilities into one software system."

AI Optimized Turbomachinery, co-developed by TurboTides, Inc. and Empower Operations Corp. is a stand-alone product with sales and software support to be provided by both companies and their respective resellers. It will be available for purchase in June 2022.
