At this year's Hannover Messe, Siemens is presenting Siemens Xcelerator for Digital Drivetrain, its comprehensive and integrated digitalization offering along the drivetrain value chain comprised of two areas: Drivetrain Design (dimensioning and simulation) and Drivetrain Health (connectivity and optimization). Drivetrain Design includes engineering and simulation tools for the efficient dimensioning, validation, testing, virtual commissioning, and optimization of drivetrains in the design phase of a machine or system. Drivetrain Health offers hardware- and software-based sensor and connectivity solutions for data acquisition as well as coordinated analysis software tools. These tools provide insights into the behavior of the drivetrain and enable powerful condition monitoring. Siemens is thus demonstrating how customers can combine the real and digital worlds of drive technology to achieve efficiency and sustainability along the entire drivetrain value chain.

Nano Dimension Ltd. (“Nano Dimension” or the “Company”), a leading supplier of Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) and multi-dimensional polymer, metal & ceramic Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) 3D printing solutions, today announced that a patent was granted for technology developed by its industrial artificial intelligence (“AI”) group, DeepCube, that enables better training and optimization of decentralized deep learning-based AI models. The U.S. patent, formally titled System and method for mimicking a neural network without access to the original training dataset or the target model, (the “Neural Network Mimicking Patent”) addresses one of the core challenges of deploying AI models in the real-world, specifically continuously training models on new data when that data belongs to a customer. In the industry at-large, dealing with new customer data has often been a limitation due to sensitivity and confidentiality concerns that limit data shareability. The new patent addresses this challenge by ultimately training and improving the AI models on customers’ premises,

A new service programme, announced by Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division, provides businesses in ASEAN, Pacific and Korea with comprehensive service and support for their Hexagon coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) to keep them performing at their best and ensure product quality and productivity. The MyCare programme is an easy cost-effective software and hardware maintenance subscription that ensures a manufacturer’s quality control capabilities are properly maintained, allowing them to spend less time scheduling maintenance activities, system updates and essential calibrations so they can focus on meeting customer requirements. To stay competitive in today’s challenging environment requires manufacturers to carefully manage the condition and availability of their critical metrology equipment. They must minimise unplanned downtime and ensure maximum productivity; they need to be sure of their metrology capabilities to ensure consistent quality and compliance with customers’ standards. However, properly maintaining a CMM and getting the right advice and help when needed can be a challenge
