Sigmetrix announced today its newest version of CETOL 6σ tolerance analysis software – CETOL 6σ for NX™. This significant new version of CETOL 6σ will offer its robust tolerance analysis capabilities to a brand-new market of users, specifically NX CAD users. CETOL 6σ tolerance analysis software has been available to users of PTC® Creo®, SOLIDWORKS® and CATIA® V5-6 for over 25 years. With this new version, users of NX will now be able to have expert insight about the variation in their products with unparalleled ease and speed. CETOL 6σ for NX enables product development teams to easily and fully understand the often-complex impact of dimensional and assembly variation on their designs. This knowledge enables them to make adjustments before problems appear in manufacturing or, even worse, in their customers’ hands. The cost of achieving a quality product grows exponentially as it moves from design to manufacturing and finally to

Maplesoft™ today announced a major new release of MapleSim™, an advanced system-level modeling tool that enables innovation and reduces development risk, allowing engineering organizations to create better products, faster. MapleSim is a natural environment for modeling multidomain systems that supports the rapid creation and testing of initial concepts so engineers can try out more ideas in less time, identify and prevent unexpected interactions between different domains, and generate computationally efficient models. MapleSim is used across a wide variety of applications and industries, including the creation of physics-based Digital Twins. Because Digital Twins in MapleSim do not require test data to predict behavior, they can be used for conceptual design as well as validating product performance, design changes, and diagnostics. The latest release provides new and improved model development and analysis tools, expands modeling scope, introduces new deployment options, and strengthens toolchain connectivity. MapleSim 2017 includes significant additions to the collection of built-in

ModuleWorks showcased its latest advances in CNC collision avoidance and next generation shop-floor programming technology at EMO 2017, 18-23 September in Hanover, Germany. ModuleWorks was present with its largest ever stand and attracted attention with live demonstrations of its innovative CNC technology on industry leading controllers from FANUC and Siemens. With more and more machine manufacturers recognizing the growing importance of real-time collision avoidance directly on the CNC control, the ModuleWorks Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is designed for fast and seamless integration into existing CNC systems for cost-effective and flexible project implementation on the latest controllers. ModuleWorks CAS provides full scene verification and clash detection during the milling and turning process in all operating modes, including jog mode, to minimize the risk of expensive machine damage and downtime and to optimize the machining process. ModuleWorks Shop Floor Programming is a fast and easy way to extend production machines with

Datrium today announced it has been named an Oracle Gold Partner. The company also announced qualification of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on Datrium DVX, extending the administrative simplicity, robust availability and integrated backup benefits of its Open Convergence approach to customer's Oracle RAC deployments. As IT organizations seek alternatives to expensive and inflexible array infrastructure for mission critical Oracle RAC deployments, they encounter three main challenges with hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI).  When organizations need to roll out a small 2-node RAC deployment, HCI cannot offer a 2-node cluster. In order to provide the highest level of availability, the minimum cluster size for HCI is 5-nodes, which is subject to more than twice the Oracle licensing costs.  There is also an availability mismatch between HCI and Oracle RAC. For example, RAC's built-in availability architecture ensures that a 4-node RAC deployment will continue to run even if three of the four nodes

Accenture, JSR Corporation, a chemicals manufacturer headquartered in Japan, and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) are embarking on a proof-of-concept project at JSR’s plant in Chiba Prefecture designed to improve worker productivity and safety in smart industrial complexes that is technology driven and analytics led. The plan is to develop a ‘connected worker’ analytics platform leveraging smart sensors and wireless technology to automatically collect and analyze unstructured data – such as motion images and sound recordings from plant operation management and maintenance tasks performed by experienced workers at the Chiba Plant. The cross-company teams will work together to combine these insights with machine data from distributed control systems, and to develop a solution that will help users make more informed decisions using a machine learning algorithm in real-time. The goal is to convert the tacit knowledge of experienced workers into explicit knowledge, and transfer it to less experienced workers.

Vera announced today that GE has selected it as its data-centric security solution to protect product designs, intellectual property, and proprietary data across the company. With Vera, GE is automatically securing IP across systems and maintaining control over how third parties can use and access sensitive documents throughout their entire lifecycle. "GE is a data driven organization, and the engineering data we generate is critical to our competitive advantage," said Nasrin Rezai, vice president, global chief information and product security officer at GE. "When product designs and specifications are shared without continuous protection as part of our supply chain collaboration and technical processes, they're susceptible to theft or illegitimate use in today's digital economy. Vera addresses this problem because we know even when shared externally, these files are protected at the source." As more companies use technology and data to drive innovation and growth, email encryption, audit, and access control
