Mark It seems that the biggest thing we need to do is move away and change our thinking from “cradle to grave” to “continuous cycle”? Correct. The ideal model is cradle-to-cradle (C2C), where all elements of the product exist in a continuous cycle. The items of the product are either repaired, reused in another product with no decrease in product integrity, or if they reach end-of-life, are disposed of without waste,

Under the new license, more than 25,000 students and 6,000 employees in various departments at TU Delft will benefit from an available pool of 1 million Altair Units, which will enable them to access Altair’s comprehensive portfolio of simulation, data analytics, AI, and high-performance computing software solutions.  Extending access to Altair’s broad toolset under a campuswide license underscores the university’s determination to provide state-of-the-art technology to all its students and staff, thereby creating an excellent experience in research environments and beyond. The university’s decision to invest in Altair Units – Altair’s patented, units-based subscription licensing model – is also an excellent fit for its recent installation of DelftBlue, a new supercomputer that meets

Two years ago, Globus Wine initiated the journey with LOGIA – and less than a year later, the business continues harvesting results. LOGIA controls the entire warehouse and ensures a good flow of goods to and from the production. Within the pallet storage, 2 semiautomatic forklift trucks are an integral part of the working processes and have already brought several benefits along. Globus Wine does not solely has an eye for good wine but also has an eye for optimization of processes and efficiency. LOGIA’s high level of usability and control of automotive equipment was decisive for Globus Wine, and the attraction increased further as the WMS-solution is scalable. Since last year when the operation was initiated, the company has experienced further benefits. Globus Wine experiences less internal transportation, a world full of warehouse functionalities, the opportunity to adjust the business and the WMS-solution as needed, and having full control of all orders

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that Swedish electric airplane maker Heart Aerospace has selected the Capital™ software portfolio from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services to support its design, development, and certification of zero emission electric aircraft. Siemens’ Capital will provide electrical and electronic (E/E) system design and support as Heart Aerospace addresses the market and regulatory demands of escalating performance and commercial certification requirements. As part of the extensive electrification in these aircraft, Heart Aerospace must address the complexity of the Electrical Wiring Interconnect System (EWIS) while also addressing electrical system compliance risk. The Capital tool’s strong compliance functionality can help Heart Aerospace to leverage automation and digital data continuity to facilitate faster regulatory compliance. This was a key reason for selecting Capital software from Siemens “Heart Aerospace’s adoption of Capital from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio gives them the advantage inherent in digitalized E/E system development out of the starting gate,”

Digitised mechanical and environmental performance of recycled short glass-fibre reinforced PP compounds supports the transition to more sustainable vehicles Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division and Sumika Polymer Compounds Europe (SPC Europe), a leading manufacturer of thermoplastic compounds, have partnered to digitise the performance of new sustainable automotive-grade polypropylene (PP) compounds, enabling engineers to design components that are more recyclable and offer a lower carbon footprint for future vehicles. Sumika Polymer Compounds’ short glass-fibre polypropylene (GF-PP) THERMOFIL HP and recycled polypropylene (GF-rPP) THERMOFIL CIRCLE materials benefit from sustainable manufacturing and recycling processes and offer carmakers performance equivalent to incumbent engineering plastics, but with an up to 60% lower carbon footprint. A growing proportion of today’s PP components are recovered and recycled compared to polyamides (PA), of which up to 70% are utilised in waste-to-energy initiatives or finish up in landfill, but there remains substantial room for improvement. These new Sumika recycled PP compounds are
