Due to the different interface set-ups between the mold-filling CAE software and the real-world injection molding machine, it posed a tricky challenge for CAE engineers to apply the parameter set-ups in CAE software to the actual UI set-ups in a real injection molding. Thus, this barrier might interfere with the effective communication between CAE engineers and machine operators. In addition, the dynamic response of an injection molding machine was not factored into the CAE simulation analysis, resulting in a discrepancy in simulation accuracy when comparing it with the actual molding. Thus, these two issues had been major challenges faced by many CAE engineers and machine operators in their daily work. With the latest breakthrough technology in CAE simulation, Moldex3D has successfully bridged the communication gap between simulation and manufacturing.  Moldex3D “Process Wizard” supports the properties of widely used molding machines for use in the injection molding simulation. CAE engineers can now

ANSYS simulation tools, which deliver needed accuracy and reduced turnaround time, while ensuring power integrity and electromigration (EM) reliability, have been certified by UMC 28 and 40-nanometer (nm) technologies. As the world's appetite for smart products continues to grow, 28-nanometer process technology is becoming the workhorse for most of the mobile, computing and Internet of Things applications, while 40-nanometer is becoming the lead technology for such automotive applications as microcontrollers. UMC, a leading semiconductor foundry, is actively addressing the needs of its 28- and 40-nanometer customers by delivering reliable, low power and cost-effective solutions. UMC's certification of ANSYS®RedHawk™ and ANSYS Totem™ includes static and dynamic voltage drop analysis and signal and power EM verification with accuracy correlation and circuit resistance validation for poly-SiON, High-K/Metal Gate (HKMG) and mixed-signal RFCMOS technologies as per UMC's requirements. These process technologies are typically used for designing chips serving mobile, computing, IoT, automotive and other applications. "By working

CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that SunPower’s Senior Operations Program Manager, Pascal Rassinoux, will make a keynote presentation at PLM Road Map™ for the High Tech Electronics (HTE) Community. The event will take place on June 16th at the Biltmore Hotel & Suites in Santa Clara, California. In his presentation, “How SunPower Deployed PLM Globally: Adopting PLM the Lean Way,” Pascal Rassinoux will share how his team responded to a challenge from SunPower’s leadership to find a way to get the benefits of a traditional PLM implementation only faster and better. Six years ago SunPower had a number of challenges in new product introduction. In particular, each product team had its own distinct process and system for managing configurations and changes, making cross-functional collaboration difficult. At the same time SunPower was gearing up for its biggest challenge to date: construction of the California Solar

Presentation will chronicle how SunPower deployed PLM throughout the organization by adopting a lean methodology.

By introducing RuleDesigner Configurator, Movomech was able to increase profitability by reducing working time by 85% and maximize the quality of services ensuring accurate and prompt generation of quotations and allowing sales to work on quotes without involving engineering. Movomech, one of the world’s leaders in the area of lifting technology and material handling, chooses RuleDesigner Configurator to configure rail systems and to automate the entire sales information process. The main scope of the company was to replace an old text-based system used to create product configuration, which was difficult to update and no longer suitable for supporting the company innovation process. A custom-designed track system has a variety of properties to be defined, ranging from different types of rails and profiles, suspensions and lifters. Several choices must be made to develop a device that meets the customer's requirements. RuleDesigner Configurator guides the user all along the product configuration process: by entering the rail

 Infor today announced that construction and home decoration leader Fetim Group has chosen to migrate its complete Infor M3 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application to the cloud. In addition, Fetim will use Infor ION™ to help integrate a range of third-party, best of breed applications, all of which will be deployed in the cloud. The home furnishing market has seen radical change in the past five years. An increase in online shopping, combined with globalization, has dramatically reduced the position of the retailers that were once Fetim's core market, whilst opening up substantial opportunities for direct sales. Fetim is moving its applications to the cloud to help equip it with the agility to respond to these changes. Fetim also took the decision to move to the cloud version of Infor M3 following a period of international acquisitions that resulted in large fluctuations in the number of users and IT resources required. As a growing company, Fetim
