A Altair Case Study
Escorts Kubota, a seven-decade engineering conglomerate that makes tractors and agri‑machinery across 70 countries, needed to give CAE engineers easy access to high-performance computing so they could shift from physical prototyping to simulation-driven design. The team faced CAE workloads that require large memory and processing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which many engineers found difficult to use, so Escorts Kubota engaged Altair—deploying Altair Access (and leveraging Altair PBS Professional and Altair Control)—to simplify access to HPC and CAE tools.
Altair implemented the Altair Access web portal with drag‑and‑drop job submission, PBS Professional for job and memory orchestration, and Altair Control for monitoring and usage analytics, enabling engineers to run, schedule and prioritize CAE jobs from web, desktop or mobile without needing deep Linux expertise. The result for Escorts Kubota was faster CAE-driven design cycles, reduced cycle time and cost savings, improved resource utilization and fewer server breakdowns, plus better capacity planning through usage analytics.
