Apave confirms its external growth dynamic

Apave has thus confirmed its external growth momentum as announced at the launch of its 2021-2025 strategic plan.

About us

About AxesSim 

Founded in 2007, the French software publisher AxesSim, a specialist in digital simulations in the electromagnetism field, joined the Apave Group in April 2021. 

AxesSim’s solutions complement Sopemea’s offering, a subsidiary of the Apave group specialising in physical industrial tests (mechanical and climate simulators, electromagnetic compatibility and electrical compliance) for qualifying equipment according to a standard or sector reference of the customer. The digital simulation offered by AxesSim makes it possible to create digital twins to anticipate and validate technical solutions related to electromagnetic interference. 

With this innovative offering, Sopemea customers will be able to optimise the qualification of their equipment, with the permanent objective of ensuring the safety of their users.

 

About SixFoisSept

Specialised in SmartData, SixFoisSept develops decision-making tools using artificial intelligence. With Apave holding a majority stake in it, SixFoisSept joined the Apave Group in January 2021.
The flagship offering developed by SixFoisSept consisted of developing, for the needs of OSAC, a subsidiary of the Apave Group, authorised by the Minister of Transport to carry out air safety inspections missions, a tool which materialises the RBO, Risk-Based Oversight part of the established EU Regulation. This programme, optimised both in terms of safety and the resources used, guarantees operators, manufacturers and supervisory authorities an objective measurement of the risk factors and a scientific justification of the regulatory monitoring plan thus produced.

Beyond aeronautics, this RBO approach is available in all industrial sectors, enabling Apave and SixFoisSept to offer cutting-edge products to all their industrial customers.
