Dassault Systèmes announced that a beta test is underway to evaluate a new generation of the Living Heart model that can be highly customized for individual patients or patient populations. The test aims to deliver a level of configuration and automation that makes the model a powerful resource to simplify medical device research and development, and accelerate the testing and regulatory approval of new treatments. Members of the Living Heart Project are testing the creation of highly customized models that offer the ability to adjust tissue properties, structural variations and other aspects at the touch of a button. Because this new generation builds upon the project’s years of experience with real patients, its insight into human physiology enables it to create thousands of virtual patient twins and be used as a robust training set for generative AI. Researchers and clinicians can understand a disease and how a patient population will react

Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announced Domaine Carneros, grower-producer of ultra-premium Carneros sparkling wine and limited-production pinot noirs, reduced its carbon emissions last year by 375 metric tons of CO2 through the deployment of a microgrid, while saving more than $70,000 on annual energy costs. In the heart of Napa Valley, Domaine Carneros has deployed Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure™ Microgrid, a standardized, validated microgrid platform that manages the winery’s on-site energy generation. Through its deployment of solar arrays and the microgrid, Domaine Carneros self-generates 70% to 80% of its energy for winery operations such as fermentation, bottling, and wine tastings. “Deploying a resilient and energy-efficient microgrid solution has been critical to the winery’s operations in light of an increasing number of Public Safety Power Shutoffs and extreme weather events that have posed significant threats to the winemaking industry in California,” said Jana Gerber, North American President of Microgrids for Schneider Electric. “The system allows

Plex by Rockwell Automation, a leader in cloud-delivered smart manufacturing solutions, announced that the precision metal forming and assembly company, Schaller Group, has chosen the Plex Smart Manufacturing Platform as an integrated, state-of-the-art manufacturing and business solution to run its Michigan-based aerospace and prototype facility. Schaller selected the full suite of Plex solutions, including Plex Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Plex Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and Plex Quality Management System (QMS). The decision to migrate to a new solution was driven by challenges Schaller faced across its current systems and increasingly stringent cybersecurity requirements from their customers. Across the board, processes were multi-platform and manual. The company did not operate off a single source of truth, but rather, various spreadsheets, a legacy ERP system, and numerous paper documents—all in a siloed manner. This lack of integrated systems created a significant challenge to meeting their customers’ cybersecurity requirements. Another major pain point for Schaller was
