Rapid, constant change is now the norm; companies must react rapidly to market changes or die.

Hexagon AB today announced the launch of HxGN SMART Build, an enterprise construction management software solution designed to alleviate cost overruns and delays. SMART Build will be officially unveiled today at Hexagon’s Construction Innovation Forum, part of HxGN LIVE 2016, an annual, international conference hosted in Anaheim, California, USA this year. Benefitting from Hexagon’s decades of leadership and expertise on some of the world’s most complex construction projects, SMART Build facilitates the convergence of construction planning and execution through real-time clarity, accountability and management of the project lifecycle. This empowers construction executives with top-down visibility of progress and deviations and field crews with automation and real-time access to the relevant and up-to-date information they need every day on the job site. Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén (https://twitter.com/OlaRollen) said, “General contractors face an almost impossible challenge with the number of variables they deal with every day. SMART Build will deliver cost

AECOM and Trimble are collaborating on the world's first use of Microsoft HoloLens "mixed-reality" technology for engineering and construction. AECOM has launched a pilot program with Trimble to apply the technology to projects on three continents.  Through a lightweight headset, HoloLens technology adds holograms of 3D objects into a user's view, allowing interaction with these virtual objects as if they were present. Trimble's innovative mixed-reality solutions allow AECOM to feed 3D engineering models into the HoloLens world, including models of large or complex projects.   AECOM is deploying HoloLens devices and Trimble technologies to real-world projects, including the Serpentine Galleries' annual architecture program in London. The mixed-reality technology supplements conventional working practices and improves communication, collaboration and visualization.   "Exploring complex structures in a mixed-reality environment has huge potential to accelerate the engineering design process," said AECOM president Stephen M. Kadenacy. "With this technology we can gain greater clarity

PTC hosted the LiveWorx® premier IoT business event on June 6-9 in Boston. The award-winning event attracted a record number of over 4,500 attendees and 4,100 more via livestream in over 40 countries. LiveWorx featured four days of compelling keynotes, over 200 breakout sessions, and presentations from business leaders who shared challenges and successes on a broad range of IoT topics in a series of content tracks for design, development, manufacturing, and service. From defense contractor Raytheon to the US Army, from software company Electric Cloud to consumer business Hallmark Cards, attendees had the opportunity to listen and learn how these organizations are building and deploying IoT strategies. In the Xtropolis™ expo hall, attendees experienced the IoT for themselves through dozens of demos of PTC’s full product portfolio and leading partner technologies, bringing the IoT from concept to reality. During the IoT Mix@6 reception, the 4,500 attendees were able to network and discuss

Arena Solutions today announced the results of a cross-industry survey of 405 product companies focused on how organizations manage their Bill of Materials (BOM). In its most surprising finding, the survey showed nearly half (48.4 percent) of respondents are using either a spreadsheet (34.6 percent) or nothing at all (13.8 percent) to manage their BOM. The survey results also demonstrated that while most respondents feel it is important to connect suppliers to the BOM, a significant number are not doing so. Of the survey's 405 total respondents, two-thirds represented organizations with fewer than 500 employees, while one-fifth represented organizations with more than 2,500 total employees. The largest single group of respondents was engineers, at 35 percent, while the rest were in managerial positions: 13.6 percent VP-level or above and 87.5 percent either interacted directly with the BOM or supervised those who do. Almost as surprising as the finding that inadequate, antiquated tools continue

Altair and APWorks have recently entered a non-exclusive partnership for additive manufacturing (AM) with two key areas of collaboration. Bringing the considerable benefits of geometrical freedom, lightweight, functionally integrated and customized designs of AM to their customers from various industries.  Additionally they will provide them with consulting, advanced design and simulation technology as well as production processes. A key area of collaboration is going to be joint, end-to-end consulting by Altair and APWorks to help companies explore the potential of additive manufacturing for their own applications through pilot projects and technology demonstrators. The offering will include screening and identification of applications, the redesign of components, quantification of potential levels of product performance improvements, printing and physical testing of prototypes up to serial production, and cost analysis and business case preparation. In a second phase, the offering will also include knowledge transfer to the customer and the adoption of additive manufacturing within their organization.

Hexagon AB today announced the acquisition of NESTIX Oy, a developer of production control solutions for the fabrication of pipes and structures used in heavy industry construction (e.g. skyscrapers, large dams, ships, and offshore facilities).  Founded in 1982 and based in Oulu, Finland, NESTIX has been meeting the needs of major steel service centers, shipyards, offshore yards, pipe fabricators, mechanical engineering companies and the steel construction industry for more than 30 years. Its software portfolio is used to control manufacturing and assembly in order to improve production, optimise machine and personnel utilisation, and minimise material waste – while improving the quality of the fabricated parts. NESTIX has a direct sales presence in the Nordic region, a strong partner network, and a skilled and experienced staff with in-depth fabrication and manufacturing knowledge. With over 500 customers in 40 countries, and more than 8,000 professionals using its software daily, tens of millions

 PDF Key takeaways: A major transformation is underway in engineering processes for complex cyber-physical products (mechanical, electronics, embedded software, and controls) Global market leaders in multiple industries are rapidly expanding their strategic use of virtual prototyping and simulation into the cyber-physical systems realm Siemens PLM Software continues to execute within the overall Siemens corporate strategy for enabling Systems-Driven Product Development The new Simcenter™ solution is Siemens PLM Software’s next major step in evolving cross domain and multi-physics performance modeling, simulation and testing tools as a foundational capability within their Smart Innovation Portfolio of industry solutions Virtual prototyping via both conceptual systems level (0D/1D) simulation and detailed 3D design analysis has moved well beyond just being a design checking tool or an alternative to minimize physical testing and validation cycles. Today’s simulation and analysis technologies enable engineers to quickly and cost-effectively investigate “what-if” scenarios, explore innovative new design alternatives, and gain deeper insights into how a product

 PDF Key takeaways: PTC’s rebranding emphasizes the yin and yang of “physical” and “digital,” encapsulating their strategy to support customers developing smart, connected products Many of PTC’s recent acquisitions brought open solutions, more easily integrated into current offerings, and huge ecosystems of partners and influencers that will be essential to achieving that strategy PTC’s long time strength in industrial equipment design is a good fit for the Industrial Internet requirements of that segment and many others Upon entering the Boston Convention and Exposition Center for PTC’s LiveWorx 2016 on June 7, one could tell it was a different type of event. The audience, over 4,000 strong, had to pass through the Xtropolis, a hall packed with exhibits from PTC, their partner ecosystem, and even a few competitors (according to PTC), to reach the main stage session. Mr. David Pogue, best known as the former technology writer for the New York Times and Scientific American, acted
