Siemens and the University of Cincinnati today announced a partnership to establish an innovative simulation and modeling center enabled with Siemens product lifecycle management (PLM) software. Housed on UC’s main campus in its College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS), the Siemens PLM Simulation Technology Center will be a hub for developing and applying new methodologies and technologies in engineering education and research in all aspects of PLM. Through a significant pledge from Siemens of up to $1 million, as well as Siemens’ staff support and additional PLM software, this partnership will enhance experiential learning opportunities for students in UC’s CEAS. “As manufacturing companies worldwide move closer to Industry 4.0, it is more important than ever for academic institutions and educators to move beyond only CAD software and embed digitalization into their curriculum,” said Chuck Grindstaff, president and CEO, Siemens PLM Software. “The Siemens PLM Simulation Technology Center will help

Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business and BSH Hausgeräte GmbH, the largest home appliance manufacturer in Europe, have agreed to further strengthen their long-term relationship to help enhance PLM software for specific industry needs. The two companies decided on a closer working relationship due to a shared vision of Industrie 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Their close cooperation is expected to help Siemens gain deeper insights into the special requirements of the home appliance product lifecycle process while reducing costs, saving time and maintaining quality and innovation for BSH and the entire industry. “The challenges we as a company are facing in the course of the digital transition make a new approach towards development and production processes necessary. Optimized PLM processes are essential to achieve this,” says Joachim Reichel, CIO, BSH Hausgeräte GmbH. “The common developments with our long standing PLM software partner make these new

Dassault Systèmes today announced that NAOS Group, a leading company in the design of marine vehicles, is the first to deploy the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to virtually create and manage the master reference of a superyacht, from digital design to production documentation.  With the “Designed for Sea” and “Optimized Production for Sea” industry solution experiences, NAOS integrates all design, engineering and manufacturing processes in a single virtual environment for efficient, real-time collaboration.  Ships are increasing in size and integrating more energy-efficient equipment as well as automated and connected systems.  In parallel, safety and environmental regulations are impacting their architecture.  NAOS, recognized internationally for highly flexible and  fuel-efficient ship designs, wanted to facilitate the numerous design changes that are typically requested by shipyards and ship owners during the complex project development process. With the “Designed for Sea” and “Optimized Production for Sea” industry solution experiences based on Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, NAOS can

TXT Retail has announced that ECG – The European Clothing Group, has selected TXT’s Product Lifecycle Management solution (TXTPLM) to unify and rationalize design activities for all brands and customers. The project will adopt the entire collection lifecycle process set including Collection Design, Product Development and Sourcing, Supplier and Material Management, and Workflow Management. ECG will be guided by the TXT AgileFit deployment methodology which accelerates deployment and time to achieve benefits thanks to reference processes, a full set of documentation and a pre-configured optimized solution framework. Part of the Shopinvest financial holding, ECG sources and develops multiple brands serving over 20 national and international fashion houses. The company works closely with manufacturing platforms in Europe and the Far East and offers multiple services in the areas of production and styling. ECG products are designed in-house by teams of dedicated designers and product managers, who channel their expertise into making

Dassault Systèmes today announced that Bureau Veritas, a leader in testing, inspection and certification for industries including marine and offshore, has selected its “Designed for Sea” industry solution experience to accelerate ship structure modeling and calculations that help customers comply with new regulations and optimize their ship designs. Based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, “Designed for Sea” combines powerful virtual design, modeling and collaboration applications that enable Bureau Veritas to quickly create a 3D structural model of a complex ship hull prior to its construction.  Bureau Veritas can then use this to evaluate and precisely calculate a hull’s optimal structure in a shorter amount of time, which can then serve as a master geometric reference for other shipbuilding certification processes. The necessary thickness of a hull depends on criteria such as a ship’s length, speed and navigational zone.  It must also comply with the International Association of Classification Societies’ new Common Structural Rules that

GE today announced plans to acquire two suppliers of additive manufacturing equipment, Arcam AB and SLM Solutions Group AG for $1.4 billion.
