Title: How PepsiCo Is Transforming Packaging with Sustainable, Digital Innovation
Abstract:
With such a diverse portfolio of products in the food and beverage industry, digital-driven innovation is essential to the design of sustainable packaging solutions at PepsiCo. Innovation is important to gain first mover advantage, bring new products to market and win market share. These programs demand significantly higher agility without compromising established sustainability challenges such as waste reduction and recyclability. PepsiCo’s mission is: “We will enhance the human experience and maximize value through the power of digital solutions: a deeply interconnected internal ecosystem of people, processes, systems and data.” PepsiCo’s collaboration with Dassault Systèmes is key to creating disruptive technical breakthroughs through a single business platform that improves collaboration and realizes solutions more rapidly. In this presentation, Max will describe how PepsiCo is using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, along with internally developed advanced tools and capabilities, to achieve these goals and create more sustainable packaging in a global organization.

Title: Renaulution Virtual Twin: Empowering design teams through simulation
Abstract:
For the past 30 years, numerical simulation has needed to become more accurate to predict physical behavior and is key when developing new products. However, simulation globally is still perceived as a tool for specialists, and consequently, induces delay during conception loops. After an introduction about the Renault Group strategy named "Renaulution" and more particularly on validation cost reduction, Pascal REMUSAN will explain how we empower design teams with well-integrated & efficient CAE / CAD software to size each component. This new process allows Renault to shorten design loops and quickly optimize a technical definition.
Biography:
Pascal REMUSAN is currently General Manager of Methods & Tools for Numerical Simulation at Renault Group, responsible for the methods development and support, innovation management, and relationships with CAE editors and academics. He joined Renault Group in 2005 to manage the quality of the prototypes during the development and industrialization phases. Prior to that, Pascal worked several years on the numerical simulation for vehicle performance as a team leader, then on AD/ADAS simulation as an innovation project manager, before enlarging his responsibilities to CAE methods.
