Gulplug is a startup that we created in 2014,
Four years ago.
And we are a spin-off from Schneider Electric group.
We provide an automatic conductive charging system.
Vehicles are becoming autonomous, and especially
in the car parking the parking will
be autonomous in a very short time.
It's not in 10 years,
It's not in five years.
It's just in one or two years.
Your next cars will park by themselves.
If they park by themselves,
they need to plug by themselves.
So what we have designed is an accessory
that you place on the ground.
It's purely plug and play.
Everybody can do that.
And you have a vehicle unit on the bottom side of the car.
The plug will go down anywhere in this cylinder.
And we have to make sure we are able to put
the plug at the center.
We need to guide it,
And then we need to fix it.
So we use electromagnetic solution and permanent magnet.
So we need to make modelization of all this magnetic issue
to make sure we are able to guide the plug
and to fix it, and then it runs.
So we have many, many parameters.
And in order to calculate which parameter using (Altair) Flux was
wonderful.
And that was a way to be sure of what we are doing. Well, we
are using Flux for two years,
right now what I have appreciated is
that I met people that were listening to our real needs
and that are listening to our critical organization.
We are only a startup.
I cannot pay a huge amount of money to use this kind
of software, but they have...
They were smart and they were able to adapt themselves
and to adapt the Flux software and the Flux license
to our needs.
