Accenture has acquired SYSTEMA, a provider of software solutions and consulting services for manufacturing automation, headquartered in Dresden, Germany. SYSTEMA’s long-standing experience in working for semiconductor manufacturers and other high tech companies will bolster Accenture’s capabilities to comprehensively support clients in these industries. “Today’s society relies heavily on semiconductors for everything from smartphones to cars, and there is a strong commitment in Europe to strengthen the industry’s manufacturing capabilities,” said Christina Raab, market unit lead for Accenture in Austria, Switzerland and Germany. “The production of semiconductors is complex and highly specialized, and SYSTEMA’s deep expertise in the industry will expand our capabilities and grow our business in ways we couldn’t achieve organically.” Despite its advanced products, the semiconductor industry runs a significant amount of legacy equipment in the production process.

The ENCY 1.1.1 update brings a more practical workflow for CNC programmers. It adds STL support for projection, improves smart hints, and fixes known issues. STL Support for Projection Now you can use STL models for surface projection — especially useful for painting operations where accurate surface normals are more important than exact geometries. In painting operations, movement along the normal is often required, and STL format is sufficient. You can now create a simplified surface model. Assign this model as the machined surface. Use it as a projection surface for toolpath calculation — STL is now supported. The machine axis orientation is controlled by the simplified surface, while the tool itself moves along the original STL model. Workflow Enhancements Updated smart hints for adaptive strategy, tool orientation, and axial stock settings — more clarity, fewer questions. Bug Fixes We addressed bugs across multiple areas: fixture handling, axis mapping, robot kinematics, roughing and additive toolpaths, postprocessor generation, CAD editing, simulation behavior, model
