You may be aware that CIMdata has been hosting a series of educational webinars. We have seen record attendance and many of the past webinars are available for replay from the CIMdata on-Demand page of our website. I recently hosted a webinar on IoT which generated lots of questions that we did not have time to answer live and and I am working my way through them. Here are a few. For those of you who were unable to join the webinar you can watch it here. Watch this space. Stan Convenience versus security is always a debatable point for emerging technologies like IOT / Cloud computing. How is IOT going to handle this? We mentioned standards. Many have a strong security component. Device level security is paramount. There is always encryption and stripping off identifying data. If users have to do much it is not going to work. I think are going

 PDF Key takeaways: The theme this for year’s Aras ACE conference was “RETHINK PLM” which inspired attendees to reconsider how PLM can be implemented to support rapid changes due to changing business and technology needs Peter Schroer, Aras CEO posed several questions that he was contemplating to rethink PLM: What if mechanical is no longer the big driver for PLM? What is the true intellectual property of a complex product? How will Cloud impact product development? Aras grew its revenue by 80% in 2014 (and has grown an average of 45% over last five years), added 35 new employees, and announced new partnerships with IBM and Infor Aras reviewed deliveries on last year’s roadmap including Visual Collaboration, a secure 3D view and markup solution tightly integrated with threaded discussions linked to product objects, new ECAD integrations, as well as this year’s planned roadmap which includes support for technical documentation, manufacturing process planning, with updates to

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the immediate availability of the EZ-VIP productivity package for ASIC and FPGA verification teams using Questa® Verification IP (QVIP). This package increases productivity by reducing the time spent creating, instantiating, configuring and connecting up a QVIP testbench by 5X or more. This means verification teams have more time available to use QVIP to verify that their design is functionally correct. The EZ-VIP package consists of QVIP Configurator software, a VIP bring up service package and a new EZ-VIP API. The QVIP Configurator software creates, instantiates and configures UVM testbenches for all protocols in the QVIP library, including PCIe, AMBA, USB, Ethernet, MIPI and Memory protocols, avoiding the time-consuming and error-prone process of writing these testbenches by hand. In many verification projects, a complicated end-to-end UVM verification infrastructure has to be created before a single test can be written. The bring up service package leverages

Actify Inc. announced the general release of SpinFire Ultimate 11.0, the next evolution of its flagship SpinFire Professional product, one of the most advanced product visualization solutions available in the market for the discrete manufacturing industry. SpinFire Ultimate marks a new era for the SpinFire product line and makes product data, especially CAD data, more easily accessible to both technical and non-technical users, extending powerful 2D and 3D CAD visualization beyond the Engineering department, without requiring a CAD system.

SpinFire Ultimate 11.0 is the first of the phased release Actify has planned for this product in 2015 and users can look forward to more improvements in the coming months. “With the

Over 6,000 public servants will have access to the latest technology tools, improved customer service, 24/7 support and faster turnaround times following the announcement today of contracts signed between the NSW Government and global technology specialists, Unisys and Infosys. Minister for Finance, Services and Property, Dominic Perrottet, said the Baird Government was continuing its innovation drive by outsourcing the functions of shared service provider ServiceFirst to the business community. "The hard working ServiceFirst staff have done a terrific job in a difficult environment of making legacy systems and processes work for the agencies they support", said Mr Perrottet. "But this model is inefficient, expensive, based on outdated technology and designed for a 9 to 5 world which no longer exists. This is causing our staff frustration and costing taxpayers money." "It's time to move our back office into today's world, give our public servants the tools they need to work effectively and shift

Delcam will hold two webinars on 16th June demonstrating the latest developments in laser scanning with the company’s PowerINSPECT inspection software.  The webinars will show how rapidly laser scanning allows millions of points to be gathered, typically providing 75 times as much data as conventional scanning in less than half the time. For full details and to register for the webinars, please go to http://www.powerinspect.com/webinar/index.asp The webinars will show how to carry out laser scanning with PowerINSPECT on a range of hardware devices, including FARO and ROMER portable CMMs, and how to extract geometric features from the resulting point-cloud data.  They will also highlight how PowerINSPECT’s exceptional versatility allows data collected with the software’s tactile-probing functionality to be combined with the results from laser scanning.  Advice will be given on how to choose and use the best approach, either laser scanning or probing, to measure different types of geometry. The 2015 release of
