Value results

| Risk and compliance | APM is the governed place analysts and design leads use for virtual testing |
Story
Inside DHL, virtual testing used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of Germany. Analysts and design leads needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
DHL uses APM from AVEVA as the working layer for simulation. AVEVA, part of Schneider Electric, provides industrial software for engineering, operations, and real-time data, including the PI System. The practical change is simple: virtual testing has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What DHL gets from AVEVA is a durable place to run virtual testing and a way for analysts and design leads to see the same simulation at the same time.
