Each year, more than 60,000 buses roll off the line of Yutong's factory in the city of Zhengzhou. This figure makes the Chinese company the largest bus manufacturer in the world, with buses operating in over 120 countries and with a market share of more than 30% of the sector in China. Yutong, which allocates around 4% of its annual budget to innovation, has chosen Lantek to make its production system more efficient, incorporating Lantek Expert for its laser, plasma, and shearing machines. “At Yutong, an advanced nesting algorithm has been implemented to optimize its shearing process. It maximizes the efficiency of the machine process and the use of material. To achieve this improvement, complex preliminary calculations were done before the nesting to establish the optimal sheet size and the best part placement strategy to reduce changes in the orientation of the sheet,” explains Mr. Liu, head of Lantek China in

Altair announced today it has reached an agreement with the Airbus Group that provides designers and engineers of its Airbus, Airbus Helicopters, and Airbus Defence & Space divisions, as well as of any other company to which the Airbus Group holds more than 50% of voting rights, access to Altair's entire software portfolio, including the HyperWorks® CAE suite for its modeling, visualization, optimization and solver solutions. The new agreement follows a prior Airbus strategic software decision for OptiStruct®, Altair's structural analysis and optimization solution.  Airbus has successfully applied OptiStruct on many programs to optimize the weight and performance of its aircraft structures, such as the A350 XWB program, for many years. Terms of the agreement provide every Airbus engineers very flexible access to Altair's HyperWorks computer-aided-engineering (CAE), PBS Works™ high-performance computing (HPC), and solidThinking® design software solutions to support the development of lighter, high-performance aircraft structures.  "The Airbus decision marks an important

WorkPLAN, the ERP Project Management Solution from the Vero Software Group, will exhibit for the first time at 'Salons Solutions' in Paris from 6th to 8th of October. The Salons Solutions trade fair groups together six complementary themes including ERP and CRM, all intended to help visitors find the most innovative and efficient solutions to their requirements: control the three most important criteria to keep ahead of the competition: Quality, Costs and Lead Times. WorkPLAN Solutions, Hall 5.3 - Stand E55, is the turnkey solution to enhance the know-how of its users. It is designed to automate and facilitate sales activities and manage the production process for custom manufacturers, service and project based companies. With the help of the different WorkPLAN 2015R2 modules, companies can measure, stabilize and preserve project profitability, respect lead times, guarantee total transversal tracability by reducing bottlenecks, control documentation and issue performance reports (delays, quality, and prices) to increase

Airbus Defence and Space and Atos have agreed to join forces in response to the growing demand for cyber security solutions. The two companies have signed a strategic partnership agreement on research and development and the provision of a complementary range of products, services and solutions designed to counteract cyber-attacks.presentative Image Airbus Defence and Space and Atos – which benefits from the security expertise of Bull – have decided to complement their portfolios in order to provide larger and more effective range of cybersecurity products, services and solutions. By combining their respective expertise and research and development knowledge in Europe, the two partners will for example work on the development of security solutions for extended enterprises (group, subsidiaries and supply chain). The partnership includes a worldwide distribution channel partner agreement. It addresses a broad range of businesses and industries including banking and insurance as well as the public sector, notably the defence

Vero Software’s Machining Strategist just got even faster, as the latest release includes game-changing Waveform Roughing techniques. The powerful 3D CAM software contains a number of items of new and enhanced functionality, but Waveform Roughing is the most significant, giving faster material removal rates and longer tool life. With demands for ever-shorter lead times and improved quality, the high speed machining (HSM) provided by Machining Strategist is now commonplace in many mould, tool and die shops both in the CAD/CAM office and on the shop-floor, to machine hard materials with increased feed rates. New and enhanced functionality will now be released every six months, with the Waveform Roughing strategy being a major update in Machining Strategist 2016 R1.   Dean Kendall, Machining Strategist Product Manager, says Waveform Roughing is superior to the traditional roughing cycle where machinable geometry features are offset, either inward or outward, by a stepover.  “Traditional tool paths have to

Aras® today announced that AGCO SAS France, a part of AGCO Corporation, a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment sold in over 140 countries which include the global brands Challenger, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra and GSI, has deployed Aras Innovator® to consolidate product engineering systems and processes. Aras Innovator will integrate with, and complement, the existing AGCO corporate engineering PDM system. Minerva, a certified Aras partner working closely with ACGO France, has helped bring deep Aras technical expertise and drive improvements in several of the company's critical engineering business process automation projects. AGCO SAS France initially leveraged Aras to consolidate and replace legacy product engineering systems and introduced CMII change management. Later, AGCO was successful in extending Aras to cover a wide range of complicated engineering business process requirements for product development tracking, controls and dashboards due to the high level of flexibility and extendibility of the Aras platform. Recently, the Aras subscription,

ModuleWorks, the leading supplier of CAD/CAM components for 5-Axis machining and CNC simulation, and Fanuc Europe, a dedicated specialist for factory automation, are pleased to present the results of their partnership at EMO 2015 in Milan. On the ModuleWorks stand at EMO will be a demonstration of real-time collision avoidance running on the Fanuc controller.  This technology will be available to any machine tool company using Fanuc controls. The collision avoidance takes into account the entire machine environment, including machine elements such as the table and spindles, set-up elements such as clamps and fixtures, and job elements such as the in-process stock and tools. The simulation and collision checking is available in all controlled modes, including Jog mode, and can even be used for a dry-run to validate the NC program before machining. In addition, the simulation may be connected to Fanuc’s virtual control software, NC Guide, to allow offline simulation during the design

At this year's EMO Milano, CGTech will be demonstrating the new version of Vericut CNC machine simulation and optimisation software. According to the exhibitor, Vericut 7.4 includes many enhancements that further simplify the process of simulating a CNC machine. Changes to how users interact with Vericut further improve Vericut’s workflow and simplify day-to-day NC programming and simulation use. “This release increases the ability of manufacturing engineers to simulate the entire CNC machining process in order to produce better results and reduce the time spent in the programming and machining cycle,” says CGTech Product Marketing Manager Bill Hasenjaeger. “Vericut is constantly refined to provide the flexibility and tools our customers require.” Vericut is a CNC machine simulation, verification and optimisation software that enables users to eliminate the process of manually proving out NC programs. In version 7.4, the desktop is enhanced with a new docking method enabling the user to lay out the Vericut desktop
