Radan, the powerful CAD/CAM software for sheetmetal applications, is lighting the way for an engineering subcontractor to carry out small bends as part of the cutting process on their punch press. V & F Sheetmetal Co. Ltd. manufacture millions of components every year – a number of which involve small bends that can be handled with multi-bend tooling installed on a Trumpf 3000R and programmed with Radan. They make full use of that facility when manufacturing a fan deck component for air curtains. “It saves time, not having to send them to the press brake,” says Director Ray Frith – son of the company’s founders – “and is a perfect example of how we keep at the forefront of technology.”   Named after his parents Vic and Frances Frith, V & F began by manufacturing light fittings for just one customer in the 1980s, eventually moving the production process into that client’s factory

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced that General Motors is deploying Mentor® Capital® electrical systems design tools for its vehicle development projects.  The tools deliver cycle time reductions and support improved engineering processes, helping General Motors efficiently deliver the new electronic features demanded by the car-buying public.  This is achieved via the Capital suite's powerful design asset re-use and correct-by-construction technology that automatically generates optimized platform-level wiring. Electrical systems for new General Motors vehicles are now being designed using Capital tools. Furthermore, design data for existing vehicles is being converted to Capital software using utilities developed by Mentor's consulting organization.  This enables rapid tool adoption through the availability of infrastructure such as rule decks and libraries, and broadened user familiarity.  General Motors has further ensured a high level of skills among its user community with on-demand training, provided via the Mentor Learning Center web platform.  This always-available resource delivers tutorials, hands-on exercises, and knowledge checks that

MIT is collaborating with Boeing and NASA to develop a four-part online, certificate-based program: “Architecture and Systems Engineering: Models and Methods to Manage Complex Systems.” The program aims to ensure that the engineering workforce has continual training and access to the latest knowledge and methods to design and develop products in a rapidly changing environment. The four courses, which will be delivered by MIT Professional Education via the edX platform, will marry the research and knowledge of MIT’s world-renowned faculty with lessons and case studies in industry and government from Boeing and NASA professionals. Focused on modern complex systems from hybrid cars to aircraft, the program will teach how to frame system architecture as a series of decisions which can be actively sorted and managed. “Engineering practice is changing rapidly in tandem with the growth of software, driving incredible capability changes, but also causing enormous challenges managing complex development programs,” says Bruce Cameron,

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced that it has developed deep learning technology (1) that can analyze time-series data with a high degree of accuracy. Demonstrating promise for Internet-of-Things applications, time-series data can also be subject to severe volatility, making it difficult for people to discern patterns in the data. Deep learning technology, which is attracting attention as a breakthrough in the advance of artificial intelligence, has achieved extremely high recognition accuracy with images and speech, but the types of data to which it can be applied is still limited. In particular, it has been difficult to accurately and automatically classify volatile time-series data - such as that taken from IoT devices - of which people have difficulty discerning patterns. Now Fujitsu Laboratories has developed an approach to deep learning that uses advanced mathematical techniques to extract geometric features from time-series data, enabling highly accurate classification of volatile time-series. In benchmark tests held at

Deloitte announced today that it has been named the first Global Cloud Elite partner in the new Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) Cloud Program. The global distinction means that the designation applies to the local market activities of all Deloitte member firms ("Deloitte"). In order to qualify for Global Cloud Elite status, OPN partners must have demonstrated full investment in the depth and breadth of Oracle Cloud solutions as well as a dedication to delivering them to joint customers. "We've been steadily gaining momentum in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace since its inception, receiving a number of recognitions along the way, such as being named the Cloud Transformation Global Partner of the Year in the 2015 Oracle Excellence Awards," observed Jeffrey Davis, Deloitte U.S. principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, and global Oracle leader. "But, the OPN Global Cloud Elite designation is a crowning achievement, since it recognizes Deloitte's ongoing investments in cloud training and tools as
