From the automotive to the electrical, every industry can grow with a Computer-Aided Engineering, believes Radha Krishnan, President and Founder, Detroit Engineered Products (DEP) as he gives an insight into how CAE evolved, what it is at present and how it will grow in the future.
"EVERY INDUSTRY STANDS TO BENEFIT FROM CAE"

Mr. Krishnan, could you share your journey in the engineering industry and the foundation of Detroit Engineered Products?

I am so proud that DEP has completed 25 years. Over these years, I have seen the company evolve from a Michigan-based CAE services and software provider. Witnessing it growing its base into five countries, seven offices, and numerous global partnerships across various product and service domains still feels unbelievable.

You know, our journey has been marked by many stepping stones, including the release of each new version of our flagship CAE platform, DEP MeshWorks. We also celebrated the establishment of our product development wing, where we’ve collaborated with clients to create diverse custom products—from drones, people movers, and e-scooters to agricultural equipment and laser cutters.

Another notable achievement for us was the introduction of the IC sensor, a technology enhancing the efficiency and reducing emissions in internal combustion engines. As we continue to broaden our service offerings, the journey becomes even more captivating and dynamic.

Could you provide an overview of what a CAE platform is, and how is it benefiting our industries today?

CAE is basically a Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) platform, this sophisticated software employs computational methods to simulate and analyse engineering designs. Hence, it enables a virtual testing ground for products before their physical prototypes are produced. Doing so will streamline the product development lifecycle.
