Infosys and General Electric are teaming up to create new technology that improves the efficiency and productivity of industrial machines, as they seek to fuel growth by expanding their portfolio of digital products. The partnership aims to develop so-called Internet of Things technology that helps derive practical benefits from large amounts of data generated through connected devices, the companies said in a joint statement on Wednesday evening. The Internet of Things -- the idea that products of virtually all kinds will one day be connected to the Internet and fully integrated -- is seen as key to software growth in the next few years, as connected devices are increasingly used for a wide range of activities such as controlling everyday electrical appliances from air conditioners to washing machines. "The internet of things is about dissolving the layers of complexity and the intermediaries that create distance between the point of manufacturing and the point

Delcam has launched the 2016 release of its Delcam for SolidWorks integrated CAM software for SolidWorks.  This includes a range of enhancements, in particular more options for the Vortex high-efficiency area-clearance strategy, faster creation of multiple set-ups, more efficient turning and user-interface improvements to make programming even easier and faster. Delcam for SolidWorks offers Delcam’s proven machining algorithms, which are already used by more than 50,000 customers, fully integrated into the SolidWorks environment.  The program looks and behaves like SolidWorks, and offers full associativity so that any changes in the CAD model are reflected automatically in the toolpaths.  However, this associativity is more intelligent than that offered in many other integrated CAM systems.  Delcam for SolidWorks doesn’t simply modify the existing toolpaths but also reviews the choice of cutting tools and machining strategies, and changes them if necessary. The 2016 release includes a number of enhancements to the Vortex area-clearance strategy.  Vortex
