CGTech is excited to announce a new VERICUT module developed in partnership with Scytec: CNC Machine Connect. This new VERICUT module allows users to connect with the CNC machines on their shop floor using Scytec’s DataXchange software. This data can be used to create and maintain more accurate digital twins through VERICUT Machine Configurations (VMCs), as well as confirm that CNC machines and VERICUT simulations match as closely as possible, to eliminate unexpected surprises on the shop floor during machining. The current version of CNC Machine Connect available with the launch of VERICUT 9.3 comes with a pre-check capability. Pre-check allows users and machine operators to verify that key aspects of CNC machine and setup information match what was previously verified in VERICUT prior to running the part on the machine. This feature validates critical control parameters that impact machine motion and behavior, main NC program, subprograms, work offsets, cutting tools,

Siemens Digital Industries Software announced a range of expanded electronic design automation (EDA) early design verification functionalities for its Calibre® platform for integrated circuit (IC) physical verification. Engineered to help IC design teams and companies get to tapeout faster, these new capabilities can help IC designers "shift left" their physical and circuit verification tasks by moving the identification, analysis, and resolution of complex IC and system-on-chip (SoC) physical verification issues into earlier stages of the design and verification flow.   Identification and resolution of issues earlier in the design cycle can not only help compress the overall verification cycle, but also provide more time and opportunity to improve final design quality. By providing tuned check support for these early-stage analysis, verification and optimization strategies using qualified signoff requirements, Siemens enables design companies to streamline their design processes, improve designer productivity and reduce time-to-market.  “Extending technology leadership in the EDA space requires constant improvement

Procore Technologies Inc., a leading global provider of construction management software, announced it is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to leverage AWS IoT TwinMaker to extend the value of construction data into facility operations. The tools AWS IoT TwinMaker provides accelerate the creation of digital twins for buildings, factories, industrial equipment, and production lines. Procore’s platform serves to connect all construction stakeholders in the lifecycle of a built asset. AWS IoT TwinMaker will allow Procore data to be integrated from design and construction into operations. Procore project owners will be able to incorporate as-built information from Procore with real-time data sources using TwinMaker, extending the value of construction information into operations. This consolidation of information can streamline operations and maintenance and enable lifecycle analysis of portfolio assets. “We’re very excited about our partnership with AWS. Roughly 80% of the lifecycle cost of a project is in the operations phase,” said Tiffany
