AVEVA today announced that AVEVA Engage™ is supported on Microsoft Surface Hub™. This move brings AVEVA’s revolutionary new decision support platform for Capital Projects and Operating Assets onto the powerful team collaboration device from Microsoft that is designed to advance the way people work together naturally.  Be it a capital project, or the minute by minute operation of a complex asset, engineers and operators are faced with important decisions throughout the life cycle. Access to accurate, relevant information is essential. In the project phase, this access minimises the risks of budget or schedule overrun and in operations, it minimises risks to safety and production.  AVEVA Engage addresses these issues by blending ultra high-definition 3D visualization with instant information access from multiple document and data sources. It transforms the decision-making process and utilises the collaboration capabilities of Windows 10 and Office 365 to extend reach across disciplines. AVEVA Engage showcases the possibilities

Altium LLC and CST® have announced the release of a new Power Distribution Network (PDN) analysis extension for Altium Designer®, the flagship PCB design tool from Altium. PDN Analyzer powered by CST® allows PCB designers to easily resolve PDN issues as they arise during a board layout process without requiring physical prototypes or dedicated simulation expertise. The PDN Analyzer provides a complete PDN analysis workflow including voltage and current visualizations in Native 3D, integrated power distribution network analysis, and a fully unified design and analysis workflow in Altium Designer. This tool is available now as an extension to the Altium Designer platform, and those interested can contact the Altium sales team to get started. “Today’s higher signaling rates, lower voltages, and higher design densities make it critical to have a very efficient power delivery network,” said Jeff Loyer, Signal and Power Integrity Product Manager at Altium. “PDN Analyzer is architected to enable

Trimble announced today that it is partnering with the University of Cambridge to collaborate on research to advance technology development in the engineering and construction industry. Trimble will work closely with the Laing O'Rourke Centre's Construction Information Technology Laboratory (CIT). CIT is a state-of-the-art research facility with a mission to solve complex engineering problems and automate difficult construction tasks through decision support tools. These tools would recognize data patterns, retrieve useful information and generate knowledge of the built environment. The construction industry is highly information-intensive and requires extensive data and information exchange during the construction process between project stakeholders. To enhance competitiveness and efficiency, engineering and construction companies are adopting new forms of information technology to improve productivity, scheduling, quality and costs of a project. The goal of the Trimble Sponsorship Program is to enable research focused on advanced, accessible and intuitive technologies that can drive increased collaboration for the Design-Build-Operate (DBO)
