Over 6,000 public servants will have access to the latest technology tools, improved customer service, 24/7 support and faster turnaround times following the announcement today of contracts signed between the NSW Government and global technology specialists, Unisys and Infosys. Minister for Finance, Services and Property, Dominic Perrottet, said the Baird Government was continuing its innovation drive by outsourcing the functions of shared service provider ServiceFirst to the business community. "The hard working ServiceFirst staff have done a terrific job in a difficult environment of making legacy systems and processes work for the agencies they support", said Mr Perrottet. "But this model is inefficient, expensive, based on outdated technology and designed for a 9 to 5 world which no longer exists. This is causing our staff frustration and costing taxpayers money." "It's time to move our back office into today's world, give our public servants the tools they need to work effectively and shift

Delcam will hold two webinars on 16th June demonstrating the latest developments in laser scanning with the company’s PowerINSPECT inspection software.  The webinars will show how rapidly laser scanning allows millions of points to be gathered, typically providing 75 times as much data as conventional scanning in less than half the time. For full details and to register for the webinars, please go to http://www.powerinspect.com/webinar/index.asp The webinars will show how to carry out laser scanning with PowerINSPECT on a range of hardware devices, including FARO and ROMER portable CMMs, and how to extract geometric features from the resulting point-cloud data.  They will also highlight how PowerINSPECT’s exceptional versatility allows data collected with the software’s tactile-probing functionality to be combined with the results from laser scanning.  Advice will be given on how to choose and use the best approach, either laser scanning or probing, to measure different types of geometry. The 2015 release of

As a result of the strategic business relationship with Autodesk, Topcon Positioning Group announces improved workflow compatibility for the GLS-2000 3D laser scanner and ScanMaster software with Autodesk solutions via the latest version of Autodesk ReCap. The GLS-2000 pairs with Topcon ScanMaster software to collect, process, edit and deliver 3D point cloud data from a laser scanner for a variety of applications. Autodesk ReCap allows users to perform tasks such as scan conversion, editing, and viewing point cloud data — and provides integration with Autodesk’s broader portfolio of design software.    Autodesk ReCap and ReCap 360 have the new capability to read the Topcon CL3 format as a scan file in addition to a standard point cloud. The scan file allows for the use of individual scan positions for additional options in registration workflows. “File conversion is no longer necessary — exporting can be done straight out of scan position. Users ultimately get a

Omnify Software, a provider of web-based Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software for discrete manufacturers, today announces that Seahorse Bioscience, a provider of tools for cell metabolism research, implemented Empower PLM to replace paper-based product development processes in order to centralize and control product data and keep two corporate divisions in sync. Seahorse Bioscience was managing information such as part numbers and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) using Excel spreadsheets. With two corporate divisions this eventually became inefficient, risky and laborious. The company found it necessary to implement a PLM system in order to have one corporate source for part number generation, ECO generation and tracking, and to create a secure corporate repository for product data with automated revision control. “Tracking all engineering changes in a centralized system eliminates previous issues with misplaced or forgotten ECOs and our vendors always receive the latest revision of a drawing from which to work,” stated Bill Beard,

MSC Software Corporation announced an extended collaboration with CIRA (Italian Aerospace Research Center), which will place MSC Software technical staff on-site to work with engineers and materials scientists on innovative research projects.
