 PDF Key takeaways: While current implementation and near-term investments in the digital thread are greatest in product development, it is being extended more broadly throughout the lifecycle to support product production and product conceptualization. The complexity of impacts on the organizational and cultural resistance are considered major inhibitors of digital thread adoption. Industrial organizations need tailored education and expert support services to assist with strategy and execution to achieve the value potential of the digital thread. During the recent PLM Road Map™ & PDT North America 2022 conference,[1] attendees were asked to complete a survey to indicate their current state and plans for implementing the digital thread within their companies. The survey explored this topic in three dimensions: Where in the product lifecycle the digital thread is implemented and delivering value Product structure views that are linked together as a digital thread Principal inhibitors to formulating and executing a digital thread strategy A total of twenty-five, primarily end-user, attendees

Sandvik has acquired the Finland-based company Akkurate, a frontrunner in holistic battery management, providing remote battery diagnostic- and prognostic platforms.

The latest version of CADMATIC software (2022T2) has been released. 2022T2 is jam-packed with exciting new features and improvements. Outfitting/3D Plant Design In our ongoing efforts to ease the work of designers and administrators, we have introduced a handy feature that automatically calculates bolt lengths. It reduces manual administration work and improves design quality by eliminating human error. You can now create piping isometric drawings much faster. Production tree-based management makes it easy to control whether all pipes are included in isometric drawings. It’s super easy to see whether the drawings are up to date and when you modify a pipe in 3D, the status of the isometric drawing is automatically updated. It’s now even easier to start using Cable Router as you can do so with or without the use of compartments. Collision control has been added for cable head/tail end jumps and you can create labels with cable data and fill rates with ease. Give it a

Factory automation through sustainable digitalization. How this goal can be planned virtually and implemented in reality will be presented by CENIT at this year's Automatica trade show in Munich (Booth 506 in Hall B5). The technological basis for this is provided by newest and the most powerful release of CENIT's own 3D simulation software FASTSUITE E2. Today, in addition to ever shorter market cycles, companies are increasingly confronted with requirements such as the scarcity of resources, disruptions in supply chains or even political upheavals. This requires an even higher level of response speed and efficiency. "With the enhanced capabilities of FASTSUITE E2, we enable manufacturing companies to optimize their use of human and material resources," explains Jens Fetzer, VP Business and Partner Development, Digital Factory Solutions, CENIT AG.. "Due to the hardware vendor neutrality of FASTSUITE E2, manufacturers also retain the flexibility in their cell and factory planning to quickly and highly

Claytex, a TECHNIA Company, and a world-leading consultancy, developer and distributor of modeling and simulation solutions for systems engineering announced it has launched AVSandbox, an autonomous vehicle simulation solution. AVSandbox is breaking boundaries, enabling automotive manufacturers to test, develop and deploy AV solutions into the real world without compromising on safety. During their 24-year history in systems engineering, Claytex, a TECHNIA Company, has generated an abundance of successful IP on the foundation of their world-leading skills. The company have been working on simulation technology for autonomous vehicles since 2016, building on 7 prior years of work with full-motion driving simulators for Formula 1 and NASCAR. Their latest innovation, AVSandbox, is a comprehensive, advanced simulation solution designed to help vehicle manufacturers work toward inherent safety by design for autonomous vehicles. The AVSandbox team have close ties with government regulatory bodies, working together to identify the standards which will shape international autonomous vehicle regulations. “With simulation,

In recent years, thousands of companies have voluntarily pledged to meet sustainability targets, but many of them likely lack the knowledge and the tools to properly measure progress and how to optimize their carbon and energy footprints. Honeywell is working to help solve this problem with its new Carbon & Energy Management, a carbon energy management software, that enables building owners to track and optimize energy performance against carbon reduction goals, down to a device or asset level. Carbon & Energy Management is the centerpiece of Honeywell's new Sustainable Buildings solutions portfolio, which is ready now to help building owners and operators meet two pressing, yet often conflicting, objectives: reducing the environmental impact of buildings while optimizing indoor air quality to support occupant well-being, with the aim of helping them to meet carbon neutral goals. Companies face increasing pressure today – from stakeholders as well as regulatory agencies – to curb energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions and

CCE, announced the launch of an Experience Center for all new users who want to explore the power of EnSuite-Cloud ReVue without having to commit to signing up for an account. This 1-click access to the Experience Center gives users a sandbox to experience the product, review multiple sample files of different CAD formats and then seamlessly transition to creating an account whenever they are ready. “We want to make adoption of EnSuite-ReVue as seamless and frictionless as possible. Having been in the end-user software business for as long as we have, we understand user behavior and the reluctance to fully commit to something without knowing if the software is something that meets their requirements. This 1-click access to the Experience Center is an easy way for new users to understand what ReVue is and play around with it before deciding to commit. We have found this approach very useful at creating stickiness with users.
