Plataine, a leading provider of AI-based manufacturing optimization solutions, has released a new version of its FabricOptimizer offering to address the supply chain and workforce challenges Aerospace manufacturers face today. Plataine’s new version of the FabricOptimizer solution allows advanced manufacturers to reach increased production rates, full process automation and further maximize material utilization by creating efficient cut plans. The new capabilities include a material procurement simulator, an automatic ‘nesting around defects’ solution, and detailed reports to improve yield and ‘first-time right’ score. Plataine’s new AI-based ‘nesting around defects’ solution, enables manufacturers to deliver the most optimized dynamic cut plans that make the best possible use of material rolls with known defects. These new capabilities help to reduce errors, rework and material waste leading to continuous process improvement. Users can now retrieve information of known defects on rolls, ignore specific parts of a roll when nesting and maximize material utilization. Quality is ensured, while the amount

DATADVANCE development team announces the release of pSeven Enterprise v2023.01, a new version of our low code cloud-native collaborative platform for building, deploying and operating different models and processes at scale. It brings a lot of improvements and updates. Take a look what's new below. Updates and Changes Updated the Runs pane in AppsHub: You can rename completed runs. Runs in the list can be grouped by adding a common prefix to their names - the prefix is used as the run group name. The prefix should be separated from the run name with a dot (.) Updated the run list sorting and filtering options. Clicking an app thumbnail on the main AppsHub page opens the app info page with a list of app runs. Pack any of your files into a ZIP archive using the new Zip command from the menu in Explorer to free up some storage space or to spend less time downloading a

CIMdata’s 2023 PLM Market & Industry Forum series theme is “The Digital Thread: Powering Business Transformation.” At this industry-leading Forum, CIMdata will frame the digital thread and discuss the issues faced by industrial users. Event sessions provide critical information to the PLM Software and Service community enabling them to respond to new and evolving requirements. Learn more about the 2023 PLM Market & Industry Forum here. CIMdata continues to investigate many topics of interest to the PLM Economy. One area we are currently focusing on is data governance, a topic important enough to be featured as a stand-alone topic on our 2023 PLM Market & Industry Forum agenda. Here is some current thinking on how we are developing that session. At the core, per CIMdata’s definition, a digital thread is a communication framework that connects data flows, which can be used to produce an integrated and holistic view of an asset’s data

AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, announced the completion of its acquisition by Schneider Electric, a leading global industrial company specializing in digital automation and energy management.

Customers persistently identify the clear need for digital solutions across both industrial operations and energy management, needs that have never been more relevant in

We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the ESTECO A&D Technology Days, which will be held on March 14-15, 2023, at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ. The event will focus on digital engineering capability in the aerospace & defense industry, and in particular multidisciplinary design analysis & optimization (MDAO) and simulation process data management (SPDM). “Develop something better, and do it faster and cheaper”. Pressure from governments and society are causing the aerospace and defense industry to re-think their traditional siloed waterfall based development methods, which frequently lead to program delays, cost overruns and sub-optimal designs. Real time collaborative digital engineering is needed to enable change, but outdated desktop clients by default cannot support such a cultural shift. VOLTA, our server-based digital engineering framework for MDAO and SPDM, is different. It allows engineers, managers, suppliers and customers to truly collaborate on the next gen design, with everyone having access
