CONTACT Software at the prostep ivip Symposium 2018

In mid-April one of the world's largest PLM conferences will take place: the prostep ivip Symposium 2018. CONTACT Software is back again and supports this year's motto "Boosting digital realities in engineering and manufacturing" from both perspectives. A look at the development process addresses the virtual commissioning of smart prototypes, while a look at the digital factory addresses performance management in production.

On the first day of the symposium, Dr. Patrick Müller from CONTACT Software and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Stark from Fraunhofer IPK will present an interactive 3D development environment for virtual commissioning. Its core is a scalable modular system consisting of VR, AR, simulation and PLM technologies, which was developed in the VIB-SHP research project. The goal: to test cyber-physical manufacturing systems in the early development phase with customers and suppliers and to secure them before costly assemblies are carried out.

On the second day, CONTACT´s Head of Software Development Frank Patz-Brockmann and Benjamin Cabé from Eclipse will explain an Industry 4.0 testbed for Production Performance Management (PPM). Commercial and open source software work together in such a way that data from the various components of a digitally networked factory environment can be collected. This enables companies to evaluate important process parameters and use them for production improvements or IoT applications. The PPM testbed was realized by Balluff, Bosch, CONTACT and other members of the Eclipse IoT Working Group.

prostep ivip is a worldwide, independent network of manufacturers, suppliers, IT and research with members from 20 nations. The association bundles the requirements of the industry with regard to digital transformation in product development and production. At his symposium, successful projects on systems engineering, digital twin and other innovations regularly shape the agenda. This year, the PLM Conference, which is again expected to attract more than 650 participants, will take place in Munich from 18-19 April.
