Five-axis machining and full traceability of parts are combining to help an oil and gas specialist diversify into the nuclear market. Al-Met’s sophisticated machine shop predominantly manufactures components for flow control valves, and assembling carbide parts onto Inconel or super duplex, thanks to a range of machine tools, including a recently-acquired 5-axis machining centre and 5-axis lathe, both programmed with Edgecam from Vero Software. The Javelin production control system, also part of the Vero suite, now ensures full traceability of those high precision components, as demanded by the two highly disciplined industries. While the machine shop comprises both conventional and CNC lathes, mills and grinders, and a radial arm, it is their 5-axis capability that is helping the company take the next step. Managing Director Phil Harmer says: “Our craftsmen have been comfortable for many years running parts through four or five operations, and it took a while for them

Omnify Software today announces that Sky plc, a European entertainment company, implemented the Omnify Empower PLM solution. Sky was looking for a single, electronic system to manage all product data and facilitate the sharing of information among their design team in the United Kingdom (UK), external suppliers, and their manufacturing teams in China. This solution provided all of the features they needed to centrally manage Bill of Materials (BOMs), Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Documents, Quality, and Compliance information that was also easy to use, configurable to meet their specific needs, and required minimal IT resources. “We now create all part numbers and vendor parts within the Empower PLM system and also manage our BOMs, ECOs, datasheets and software information,” stated Toby Payne, Manufacturing Production Lead for Sky plc. “Our engineering change process has improved dramatically as we are now able to run ECOs through Omnify Empower, and upon release, multiple

JSC Giprogazoochistka, a Russian engineering company specializing in oil and gas processing and petrochemical industries, has chosen Intergraph® Process, Power & Marine solutions to improve in-house engineering design processes.

Tata Technologies, the Novi-based global engineering services provider, today announced a $30,000 donation to the United Way of Genesee County to provide nutritious food to Flint residents during a day-long event on Tuesday, Aug. 9. Flint continues grappling with the effects of more than a year of elevated lead levels in the city's water system. While the water was declared safe for consumption and bathing if properly filtered in June, concerns persist about lead poisoning, which can cause severe health problems. Children are particularly vulnerable and can face mental and physical development complications. Adults can experience cognitive impairment, heart problems, hearing loss, and weakened kidney function. "Like everyone else, we're heartbroken by the Flint water crisis," said Kevin Noe, Chief Operating Officer at Tata Technologies. "Lead poisoning has no cure, but a healthy, targeted diet can help mitigate the symptoms, which is why we've focused our efforts here.
