BobCAD-CAM has released a new DVD training product for multiaxis CNC programming as part of the company's Training Professor Video Series. The new learn at your own pace training DVD offers a comprehensive solution to learning the intricacies of multiaxis machine programming. Easy to follow video and written tutorials cover everything from setting up a job with CAM wizards and Dynamic Machining Strategies to optimizing multiaxis CNC programming with advanced machining strategies and simulation. "Shops that machine multiaxis jobs know how important it is to have confidence in their programming before the chips start flying," explains Walter Czyrsky, Technical Director at BobCAD-CAM. "The more movement you have, the greater the risk of collisions, gouges, and other programming errors. As with anything, training is key. Besides the obvious educational value, one of the best parts about the DVDs is being able to reference them over and over again, whenever and wherever. It adds that confidence you need,

Accenture and Dassault Systèmes are building a proof of concept (PoC) to show how digital technologies can improve efficiency and create more agile manufacturing in industries such as heavy industrial equipment and aerospace. Working with a large industrial equipment company, Accenture and Dassault Systèmes are building and implementing a three-phase solution that harnesses digital technologies to create a link between engineering and the manufacturing shop floor for non-repetitive manufacturing companies. The adaptive solution provides a new level of continuity for product assembly including the sequence in which parts are built, and provides a better level of insight into the process for engineers and the assembly staff. The first phase of the agile manufacturing solution creates the theoretical assembly sequence required to build a product such as a train, airplane or digger. Phase two helps create, optimize and re-plan quickly an operational plan and schedule for each worker on the shop floor. The

Abstract: The need for innovative model-based design and analysis technologies that can connect performance analysis data, processes, and knowledge across functional domains is becoming critical as product complexity continues to grow even while product development cycles continue to be shortened by competitive and regulatory requirements. VCollab is one such innovative technology. Conclusions: The effective utilization and deployment of VCollab’s CAX technology provides several significant business benefits to engineering organizations: Increased productivity, effectiveness, and corporate leveraging of scarce CAE analysis resources and domain expertise. CAX provides a common language for intelligent processing, rapid visualization, sharing, and automated reporting of 3D CAE results data and associated CAD and CAE models. Increased collaboration among product design teams in making critical design decisions sooner and faster based on CAE activities. Based on customer feedback, VCollab could minimize the need for CAE analysts and designers to build numerous Microsoft PowerPoint presentations by providing an interactive 3D design review and

Industry 4.0 is a collective term embracing contemporary automation, data exchange, and manufacturing technologies, directed at the value chain organization which draws together Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), the Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Services (IoS). Industry 4.0 facilitates the vision and execution of a "Smart Factory" where cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world, and make decentralized decisions.  Over the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real time. Via the Internet of Services, both internal and cross-organizational services are offered and utilized by participants of the value chain. The aim of Industry 4.0 is to improve the competitiveness of a company with the aid of technology. Companies need to be efficient and able to make decisions in the shortest time possible. Every second of a machine not in use is money wasted. With
