Bentley Systems annonce une acquisition
Feb 25, 2023
Feb. 23, 2023 - Bentley Systems, the infrastructure engineering software company, announced it has acquired EasyPower, a leading developer of design and analysis software tools, including arc flash solutions, for electrical engineering professionals. Since its founding in 1984, Portland, Oregon-based EasyPower has innovatively combined graphics-based modeling and analysis in order to make solving complex electrical engineering problems ever more straightforward and accessible. EasyPower products are primarily used for designing, analyzing, and monitoring power distribution systems serving industrial and commercial facilities, to ensure safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
Bentley’s acquisition of EasyPower, to extend integrated and iterative power systems design and analysis for infrastructure digital twins of every type, broadens its comprehensiveness in infrastructure engineering. With an increasingly electrified future and with disparate and widely distributed energy resources on both sides of “the meter,” all infrastructure assets will benefit–in performance, economics, safety and resilience–from continued simulation and assessment of power distribution conditions and designs over their project and operating lifecycles. Priorities for Bentley Systems will include integrating EasyPower’s schema and digital workflows with Bentley’s OpenBuildings, OpenFlows, OpenPlant, OpenRail, and Bentley Raceway and Cable Management applications.
CEO Greg Bentley said, “All infrastructure projects and assets have power distribution systems, which are too frequently analyzed using unnecessarily complicated software that is disconnected from 3D/4D BIM and digital twin workflows. By incorporating EasyPower within our design and modeling portfolio, and our iTwin Platform, we can help enable the distribution systems powering infrastructure to be more readily adapted to new imperatives for sustainability and resilience, while making electrical safety assurance more ubiquitous, accessible, and evergreen.”
Le PDG d'EasyPower, Kevin Bates, a déclaré : « Nous sommes ravis de rejoindre Bentley Systems à ce point d'inflexion pour l'énergie électrique dans les infrastructures et dans les jumeaux numériques d'infrastructure. Depuis près de 40 ans, EasyPower simplifie les problèmes complexes d'ingénierie électrique et aide nos clients à réaliser le travail en toute confiance. Notre objectif a été de rendre l'électricité plus accessible, plus fiable et plus sûre à utiliser. Au sein et pour Bentley Systems, nous pouvons désormais étendre considérablement la portée d'EasyPower - dans le monde entier, dans les secteurs d'infrastructure et dans les cycles de vie des jumeaux numériques !
