Inefficient processes are central time and cost drivers for every company. Process mining allows data-based analysis of business processes, for example using digital log files, and the identification of potential for optimization in the operations. While process mining is already being used successfully in many industries such as online retailing, the manufacturing industry often lacks the large data volumes (Big Data) required for this. "The manufacturing industry is usually faced with a high number of customer- and product-specific variants. As a result, many processes are not repeated frequently enough, so the amount of comparable data is quite small," explains Christian Stürmer of CONTACT Research. " There is also a lack of required resources in the form of business process management (BPM) to process the results and use them profitably." CONTACT Software is a technology partner in the running joint project Business Process Mining for the Analysis and Prescription of Industrial Core Processes

It also means construction decision makers around the globe are generating a tremendous amount of data that they can leverage to enhance insurance underwriting decisions helping to

Tango, the leading provider of Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) and Store Lifecycle Management (SLM) solutions, announced the launch of Tango Portfolio Strategy, a new solution that enables companies to rapidly explore strategic corporate real estate options, including assessing related impacts on space, employees and costs. The workplace has fundamentally shifted and continues to evolve. As companies evaluate their workplace, a comprehensive understanding of their real estate portfolio—and the impact of changes—is critical. With Tango Portfolio Strategy, companies can easily access key workplace data in a single view to ensure their evolving real estate portfolio strategy supports their immediate and longer-term departmental, business unit and organizational requirements. As a result of hybrid work and an ever-evolving workforce, corporate real estate strategy is being compressed into shorter lifecycles that require more agility. Over the last 15 years Tango has provided solutions that drive real estate strategy for some of the largest retail and

Tecsys Inc. , an industry-leading supply chain management and omnichannel commerce software company, announced its fully composable Order Management System (OMS), a headless order management system built with robust APIs and an optimized front end designed to integrate into retailers’ existing back-end systems. “Shopping is no longer a linear activity, but a web of interrelated events that take place in both the virtual and physical world, united by timely and accurate data. This evolving complexity of sales channels and customer touchpoints adds to the cost of doing business, and we wanted to solve for that,” says Martin Schryburt, vice president of Research and Development at Tecsys. “The powerful API backbone of Tecsys’ composable OMS allows for quick and valuable out-of-the-box OMS functionality that can serve as an integrated solution or headless order management engine, both tuned to the complexities of frictionless omnichannel commerce.” By decoupling the Omni™ OMS front end and back end

 PDF Key takeaways Advances in high fidelity system simulation software and computing hardware have improved useability and performance, enabling engineers to bring simulation earlier into product development, especially decisions based on complicated, coupled physics, e.g., turbulent flows of gases and fluids affecting lifting forces, drag, thermodynamics, and structural loads. Simulation software primarily uses physics-based solutions to perform structural, thermal, and fluid-flow analyses and requires domain experts and historically expensive computers to get useful solutions. Often, empirical data drives matching algorithms to refine and validate models. This landscape is changing thanks to algorithmic refinements using mathematical formulations and ubiquitous computing. Ease of access, along with GPU and CPU acceleration within high performance computing, enable engineering simulations to be performed faster and earlier. These are computing technologies that may well expand to digital certification of products using simulation. High-order solver advances and methodologies being researched and implemented at Cadence are improving the accuracy of turbulence simulation results.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire OpsRamp, an IT operations management (ITOM) company that monitors, observes, automates and manages IT infrastructure, cloud resources, workloads and applications for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including the leading hyperscalers. Gartner estimates ITOM to be an approximately $39 billion1 market. Integrating OpsRamp’s hybrid digital operations management solution with the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform – and supporting it with HPE services – will reduce the operational complexity of multi-vendor and multi-cloud IT environments that are in the public cloud, colocations, and on-premises. OpsRamp’s technology – which delivers discovery, monitoring, automation, and event resolution with artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) – provides end-to-end visibility, observability, and control across hybrid and multi-cloud IT environments. These capabilities span multi-vendor computing, networking, and storage, along with cloud resources, containers, virtual machines, and applications. According to IDC, 64%2 of enterprises use multiple cloud providers; the ability

3D Systems announced its collaboration with TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectors and sensors, to jointly develop an additive manufacturing solution to produce electrical connectors meeting stringent UL regulatory requirements. The solution comprising 3D Systems’ Figure 4® Modular, Figure 4 material, 3D Sprint®software, and services was designed to meet TE Connectivity’s unique requirements for material performance and high tolerance, reliable printing. The foundation of the solution is a newly developed photopolymer 3D Systems engineered specifically to meet TE Connectivity’s requirements. In addition to a world-class flammability rating at 0.4mm thickness, it is the first known printable photopolymer to complete a UL®[1]-recognized long-term thermal aging (RTI) study. This material combined with an optimized print process enables the necessary reliability and accuracy required for TE Connectivity’s products. Using 3D Systems’ Figure 4 technology, the combination of new material properties, speed, and accuracy allows the production of rugged industrial products for the first time, targeted at appliances, cellular and data-center applications.

Computer simulation allows for testing of parts and assemblies without having to manufacture and physically manipulate them, which can save significant time and money in the product development process. Unfortunately, mainstream simulation software is incompatible with the data structures used for design models. Even today’s best methods for problems like simulating automotive crashes require millions of dollars of manual labor to prepare each simulation. And even after all this work, these approximated simulation models take up vast amounts of high-performance computing resources. While simulation has an important role in product development, these inefficiencies limit how much it can actually be used to perfect new designs. “This award underscores the importance of new methods for computer simulation, which plays an important role in product development but has suffered from severe bottlenecks and limitations that have blunted its impact,” notes Chief Strategy Officer Matt Sederberg. “This funding will allow us to optimize our
