Omnify Software today announces that Oztek, Corp., a leader in designing and manufacturing digitally controlled power converter solutions for the OEM market, implemented Omnify Empower PLM to replace a manual, paper-based Engineering Change Order (ECO) system in order to eliminate tedious manual record keeping steps while gaining better traceability and reporting. Oztek selected the Omnify Empower PLM solution because of its strong ECO management features as well as its ability to integrate with the company's existing schematic capture tool, Cadence OrCAD®. Oztek is using the Omnify Empower PLM system to automate previous manual processes which involved managing ECO numbers in Excel, physically walking ECO folders around the organization for signoff, and a post release process requiring scanning, naming and archiving documents. Leveraging Omnify Empower's workflow engine for signoffs has made ECO and New Part Request (NPR) processes easier to manage and more efficient. Now with traceability on an ECO status, the company is able

NetCracker Technology announced today that T-Mobile Netherlands, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, has selected NetCracker to implement its sophisticated Product Management solution, which is comprised of Product Catalog and Product Lifecycle Management components. This will help T-Mobile Netherlands improve the overall management and delivery of its services. T-Mobile Netherlands is among the largest providers of mobile telecommunications, offering services to 3.8 million customers. A centralized product catalog and sophisticated product management capabilities will enable T-Mobile Netherlands to consolidate and support easy access to all product information. NetCracker’s Product Lifecycle Management, which will be implemented using an agile methodology, will enable T-Mobile Netherlands to simplify the way it manages products across their lifecycles, from development to production to retirement. With more control over its assets, T-Mobile Netherlands will deliver a superior customer experience by improving time-to-market for new products and reducing the number of incorrect offers. “A centralized view into our products and the use of a single platform to

Architecture, engineering, construction, and operations and maintenance (AECO) industry consultancy, Microdesk, announced today that the Denver International Airport has selected Microdesk's ModelStream solution to connect all building information model (BIM) data for their new state-of-the-art airport facility asset management systems. Microdesk's ModelStream is a product that connects the information-driven power of BIM with the comprehensive asset lifecycle and maintenance management system IBM Maximo. This solution will provide the Denver International Airport's facilities and operations teams the ability to readily access the information they need to more easily visualize potential problems, track equipment, identify assets, and access data essential for effectively managing the airport's facilities. "ModelStream is a cutting-edge new product that finally delivers a solution to a major pain point for owners and facility managers by creating a bi-directional connection between Autodesk Revit and IBM Maximo information to build a fully integrated asset management system," said Michael DeLacey, president of Microdesk. ModelStream's capability to connect Autodesk Revit and

Gerber Technology introduces the Gerber eSTORE. The new e-commerce site shortens ordering time through a variety of intuitive navigation techniques and product visuals to lead visitors to the items they need. "This is a very photo-intensive site that doesn't require users to have all the technical details to find the products and services they need," explained Jeremy Beck Gerber's global product manager, Aftermarket. "Our enhanced search capabilities create an advanced filtering process that helps users hone in on the exact product needed for their Gerberequipment." Navigation on the Gerber eSTORE can use any element of the product description (even a single word) to generate suggestions, as well as predictive suggestions for commonly used products and services related to their searches. "The new navigation walks you through the process, rather than expecting you to be intimately familiar with the equipment," said Beck. "For example, the process can take a user from the overview

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced the launch of the Open Manufacturing Language (OML) initiative that directly addresses the longstanding need and urgent calls from the industry for a printed circuit board (PCB) assembly-specific Internet of Manufacturing solution. For the first time, IT teams, solution providers, and equipment providers can easily integrate shop-floor data to create or enhance added-value manufacturing execution solutions based on a single, normalized, vendor-neutral communication interface. This minimizes development and support effort while ensuring optimum data accuracy, timeliness and completeness. Use of the OML standard supports numerous industry needs and challenges including the practical realization of the Internet of Manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory 1.0 concepts, as well as the automated collection of full traceability data including routing and compliance enforcement. "The OML standard is a key technology and contributor for the Internet of Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 in PCB assembly. It's our pleasure to work with the

The inventor of COBie, Bill East, has been working with Rob Jackson, Associate Director of Bond Bryan Architects, to simulate the early design in ARCHICAD of one of four dormitories on a fictitious site adjacent to the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois.  The goal is to create a reference COBie test project.  As the design developed, the COBie Plugin for BIMserver.org was iteratively applied to resolve identified issues. In some cases, these issues were the result of modeling. Other issues required direct feedback with ARCHICAD programmers. This communication was extremely helpful, efficient, and resulted in several software change tickets for which work-arounds were applied for this project. According to East, "The results of this experiment demonstrated 100% compliance with ARCHICAD against NBIMS-US V3, Design Stage COBie requirements." To show how 100% COBie compliance was achieved, East and Jackson are currently finishing a book that provides step-by-step instructions.  The book is expected to be published in 2016. Following that, the

Businesses are desperately seeking and exploring new strategies, tools, and technologies to cope with the accelerated innovation environment that has been created due to a connected economy and rapid advancements in technology. Otherwise, as famously said by GE’s past CEO Jack Welch, “If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.” Innovative new materials are needed to accompany new product forms and manufacturing technologies. These new innovations require integrative thinking and collaboration across multiple domains, i.e., design, software, and hardware, and multiple scientific and engineering disciplines including the social sciences. Those enterprises who adopted Open Innovation (OI) are actively seeking new partners to address their innovation challenges. Searching the web, patent and literature databases, attending consortia and conferences, publishing “needs” to Corporate Open Innovation portals, or to external network providers, such as Innocentive, are some examples of approaches used to
