Matterport, Inc., announced the launch of avoided emissions reporting for select enterprise customers, measuring the emissions savings associated with the use of Matterport’s digital twin platform. Developed with independent carbon accounting experts, the reports enable enterprise customers to understand the impact of emissions avoided by collaborating remotely instead of traveling to inspect facilities onsite. There has been a growing expectation from corporations to operate climate-consciously. Organizations of all sizes are making ambitious commitments to reduce their carbon footprint (GHG emissions) by pledging alignment with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and setting science-based targets to limit global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees Celsius.  Matterport’s 3D digital twins are sustainability in action, providing tools to help businesses to reduce Scope 3 emissions for tasks that traditionally require travel to complete, such as tours, inspections, progress monitoring, change management, and more. The more 3D digital twins are incorporated into day-to-day operations, the greater

3Dfindit Now Leverages Swarm Intelligence to Simplify Design Processes CADENAS GmbH simplifies the design process for 3Dfindit users with the new "Wisdom of Crowds" feature. 3Dfindit provides over 6,000 verified manufacturer catalogs. This gives the platform a BIG DATA cloud with more than 6 billion transactions of manufacturer components, which will be available to users and other interested parties as swarm knowledge in the future.  Engineering through the ages A lot has changed in the engineering process over the last few decades. Not only has there been a change in the tools used, such as the computer-aided creation of products or systems, but the use of individual components has also changed. In the 90s, for example, wing nuts were often used. They could be opened and closed by hand without any tools. This was practical because there were only a few tool trolleys on the factory floor. Today, however, things are different, and

ABB announced a minority investment in Ndustrial, a US-based clean technology startup that has developed a leading-edge, AI-powered energy management platform. This innovative technology enables smarter, production-aware energy decisions in real time, helping customers reduce operating costs, optimize energy consumption and accelerate decarbonization. The investment was made through ABB Ventures. Financial details were not disclosed. The transaction follows ABB taking a minority stake in GridBeyond in April 2024, a start-up providing energy management solutions based on AI and data science that will enable customers to optimize distributed energy resources and industrial loads. Ndustrial helps companies measure and reduce their energy intensity – the energy required for a pre-defined unit of output or activity. By integrating multiple, and often disparate, data sources such as weather, market rates, equipment performance, industrial process outputs and more, companies can analyze, optimize and predict their energy usage and costs per unit of production. This enables real-time decisions,
