Hexagon AB announced the acquisition of Apodius GmbH, a start-up specializing in measurement solutions for fiber composite components. Based in Germany, Apodius was founded in 2012 and serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) as well as suppliers in the automotive, aerospace, electronics and appliances industries with the development, production and integration of measurement solutions for carbon fiber. Carbon composite materials are enablers for lightweight structures in various high-growth fields like aerospace, automotive and renewable energy. Furthering Hexagon’s strategy to expand its expertise and portfolio to support current and future manufacturing trends, the Apodius acquisition adds core capabilities to support the implementation of measurement solutions in multi-layered textile reinforced structures for extremely light, rigid and robust fiber composite components. “The requirements for composite fiber inspection go beyond the classical dimensional metrology which Hexagon’s current offering provides,” said Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence President Norbert Hanke. “Apodius’ solutions offer a perfect complement to our portfolio,

Zero Wait-State has today announced numerous strategic new hires and resources to support and augment the success of its PLM practice. In 2010, in response to changing market demands and customer needs, Zero Wait-State shifted its attention to focus exclusively on PLM and its three core areas of expertise: Implementation, Integration, and Data Migration.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) today announced that it has developed an innovative digital solution to connect Intelligent LEDs, to GE's Predix operating system for the Industrial Internet through Intel® Atom™-based gateways, providing critical analytics to save significant time and costs in the manufacturing process. The digital solution will analyze temperature at various points on the metal turbine parts as they are assembled and cooled, allowing operators to know when the next operation can be performed, reducing wait time between operations and improving quality monitoring. The pilot application was built and deployed for GE Power's gas turbine manufacturing plant in Greenville, South Carolina. During the turbine manufacturing process, rotor stacking is a key process and needs extremely high levels of precision. If the rotor wheels are stacked incorrectly due to differences in the surface temperature, it will require reassembly, incurring heavy additional costs and two to three weeks of shipment delays. TCS'
