Siemens launched the Eigen Engineering Agent, its purpose-built AI for automation engineering, now generally available. The Eigen Engineering Agent represents a new class of industrial AI product: one that no longer just generates suggestions but instead uses multi-step reasoning and self-correction to carry out tasks autonomously.  Unlike generic AI tools, the Eigen Engineering Agent operates inside real engineering systems, with full awareness of each project’s context and constraints. With this understanding, it is able to execute automation engineering tasks like PLC coding, Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) visualization, and device configuration, while meeting industrial standards for correctness, safety, and reliability.  As industrial innovation cycles tighten and shortages of skilled engineers persist, the Eigen Engineering Agent frees engineers to focus on higher-level system challenges, without compromising accuracy or reliability. It completes AI-powered workflows two to five times faster than manual alternatives, with up to 80 percent higher solution quality and 50 percent greater engineering efficiency.  “As demand

This announcement is regarding the SDC Verifier 2026 R1 release for engineers working on offshore, marine, wind, and other code-driven structural verification tasks. This version expands support for offshore design standards, improves how plated structures and tubular joints are checked, and removes a number of practical workflow issues that slow engineers down in day-to-day work. It also brings compatibility updates for the latest CAE environments, including Ansys 2026 R1, Simcenter 3D 2512, and Femap 2512.

ENCY Software has released version 2.8 of ENCY, its CAD/CAM system, and ENCY Robot. This release brings faster toolpath calculation, more flexible background verification, improved simulation behavior, and a set of practical usability and stability updates. ENCY calculates the machining result and runs checks during toolpath calculation. This is especially convenient for simple projects that do not include fine-step finishing operations. In ENCY 2.8 and ENCY Robot 2.8, background simulation during toolpath calculation can now be configured more flexibly. System settings now let you define separately both the machining result calculation and the level of checks performed at the toolpath calculation stage. If background machining simulation is disabled, the system calculates only the toolpath from the 3D model, while the machining result can be checked later in Simulation mode. At the same time, operations that require the result of the previous machining step for correct calculation continue to work properly: ENCY automatically calculates the required intermediate result for

PROSTEP’s presence at this year’s Hannover Messe HMI is focused entirely on data ecosystem connectivity. At the Platform Industrie 4.0 booth (Hall 13, Booth C24), the PLM integration specialist demonstrates how easily its Digital Thread platform, with the OpenPDM and OpenDXM brands, can connect to different data ecosystems. The foundation for this was laid within the Decide4ECO project through the development of the Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) connector. The connector supports the exchange of data from common PLM, ALM, or ERP systems via Catena‑X and other data ecosystems such as Manufacturing‑X. With the development of the EDC connector, PROSTEP is responding to the growing demand from industry for solutions that support sovereign data exchange across industry boundaries. At HMI, the company presents practical use cases. Based on OpenPDM, PROSTEP demonstrates the integration of PLM applications into data ecosystems and the exchange of sustainability‑relevant indicators, such as the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF). The exchange of certificates,

IBM and the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (U. of I.) announced an expansion of the IBM-Illinois Discovery Accelerator Institute. This includes deploying quantum-centric supercomputing to Illinois innovators through the integration of U. of I.’s National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) Delta and DeltaAI supercomputers with IBM quantum computers. Launched in 2021, the Discovery Accelerator Institute has 20 current, ongoing projects across hybrid cloud, AI, quantum computing, materials discovery, and sustainability, and its members have published more than 230 research papers. Moving into this new phase, the Institute will build on its first five years of technological progress in AI systems and computational science to shape how quantum computing and AI will drive the next generation of supercomputing. These new initiatives will include the development of new algorithms that enable classical and quantum systems to work together on problems neither can solve alone; as well as the

Atos, a global leader of AI-powered digital transformation, announces it has been entrusted by the European Space Agency (ESA) to launch an Open Competition to expand DestinE ecosystem. DestinE is a flagship initiative led by the European Commission and implemented by the ESA, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) to create a highly accurate digital twin of the Earth. DestinE’s ecosystem is designed to assist policymakers, researchers or innovators simulate, monitor and better understand natural phenomena and human activity, offering new ways to engage with and understand our world better to shape a sustainable future. As a result of this first Open Competition, 12 innovative Service Providers have been selected to deliver Advanced Applications & Services (AAS) on DestinE Platform. Some of these services are now fully operational, offering unprecedented opportunities for exploration and understanding. Assess quality of life with
