Gerber Technology introduces YuniquePLM™ V6.1 to further improve collaboration along the supply chain and accelerate time to market. YuniquePLM is web-based product lifecycle management software that helps the fashion and apparel industries communicate effectively, accelerate workflows and eliminate errors. YuniquePLM V6.1 generates and exports user-created product and line report views, and increases functionality within the 3D file support module. YuniquePLM V6.1 is an enhancement of its 6.0 version, introduced last fall. “Brands and retailers are facing continuous challenges to speed their time to market and improve margins, while collaborating effectively within the supply chain,” said Bill Brewster, vice president and general manager, Enterprise SW Solutions. “YuniquePLM V6.1 assists customers to meet the accelerated pace of today’s fast fashion environment. We have added data management, file sharing and reporting enhancements to this latest YuniquePLM product, based on the input of our customers,” he added. In addition to reporting and 3D file support upgrades, YuniquePLM

Granta Design today announced further major performance, deployment, and functional enhancements to its GRANTA MI™ Version 8.1 system for enterprise materials information management, including enabling users to access data twice as fast. These significant advances are being delivered via a simple-to-install software update this month. As well as delivering a quicker system, the update improves scalability, adds new tools for easy administration of large numbers of users, and provides a more efficient way to merge new data into company databases. These developments will be reviewed at next month's Material Data Management Consortium Meeting, hosted by GE-Aviation in Cincinnati, OH, the latest milestone in a continuous improvement program to enable best practice in the management and use of vital materials data. GRANTA MI, the industry-leading system first released in 2004, is now used by dozens of major enterprises worldwide in sectors including Aerospace, Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Industrial Equipment, and Medical Devices.

Trimble announced today that BuildingPoint® distribution partners have been established in Australia, New Zealand and the U.S. These latest additions are part of the growing BuildingPoint network that provides focused sales and services with a portfolio of software and hardware solutions for the Design-Build-Operate (DBO) lifecycle of buildings. BuildingPoint distribution partners represent Trimble Buildings' solutions that allow users to create and transfer constructible models throughout the DBO lifecycle—from concept and design to the field and back to the office again. The solutions utilize sensors, 3D positioning, data, Building Information Modeling (BIM), communications and analytics. The emergence of these technologies, along with the ability to integrate them within a comprehensive information architecture, provides an unprecedented capability to improve productivity, schedule adherence and cost discipline. Trimble's expanded information architecture enables these improvements by significantly improving project transparency and collaboration, which leads to much tighter integration of the elements of building design, building construction and post-completion building operation. BuildingPoint will

Altair today announced 17 nominations for the 2015 Enlighten Award. In its third year, the award will be presented in collaboration with the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) at the 2015 CAR Management Briefing Seminars taking place in Traverse City, Mich. from August 3rd-6th. The award aims to recognize the achievements in weight reduction within the automotive industry, from motorcycles to passenger cars, light trucks to commercial vehicles and buses. Comprised of worldwide automotive experts, the awards judging committee – chaired by Dr. Jay Baron, President and CEO of CAR and Director of CAR’s Coalition for Automotive Lightweighting Material (CALM) – will assess each nomination and select the overall winner. “The light duty fleet must undergo substantial technological changes to meet increasingly stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards,” said Dr. Baron. “Lightweighting is universally recognized by automakers as one of the strategic technologies.  The Enlighten nominations demonstrate innovative applications in

Key takeaways: At the same time that overall product complexity is increasing, manufacturers must also produce custom product configurations, often in small quantities Better collaboration between engineering, process and product planning, and manufacturing is required to manage growing product and variant complexity Collaborative manufacturing provides a key solution for analyzing the product mix to understand its impact on production, allowing companies to optimize overall production throughput Siemens PLM Software is enhancing their PLM portfolio with focused solutions designed to help customers define, sell, and produce today’s complex products more efficiently Introduction Manufacturing enterprises face many challenges. Two that are causing extreme stress are the increasing complexity and variations of their products and the need to be able to simultaneously produce multiple product variations at different production plants distributed globally. For example, a piece of heavy machinery could have multiple equipment options, i.e., loading buckets, lift units, drive train components, and engines. Each option may be

 PDF Key takeaways: The February 2012 commitment to innovation experience is well underway—more to come Maturing “Experience” concept is being extended to all aspects of Dassault Systèmes business and services Power of optimization capabilities with Quintiq brings high value and high returns With the aging world population and the availability of extensive computing resources, Dassault Systèmes’ BIOVIA solutions should result in enhanced returns A changing channel management strategy demonstrates deliberate intent towards partnership success Dassault Systèmes held their annual Industry Analyst event on June 10-11, 2015 at their global headquarters in Velizy, France. The agenda was full and included briefings from the executive team and a set of industry focused tracks covering the work they have accomplished in several segments. There was a strong emphasis this year on connecting the progress made since their February 2012 announcement of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE focus on innovation. This year, Mr. Bernard Charlès, the company’s President and CEO, opened the event with

PTC today announced a series of industry-first innovations across its PTC Integrity™ product family of software and systems engineering solutions. The new capabilities will help customers reduce barriers to process modeling, make higher quality, more profitable product line engineering decisions, and manage and re-use assets more easily in the Internet of Things (IoT) era. Smart, connected products are the future of manufacturing, and intrinsically more complex to design, build and service. Products that once operated in isolation are now part of an ecosystem with lifetime interdependencies. Capabilities that used to be implemented through a single engineering discipline, such as a mechanical brake, are now delivered through tightly coupled hardware and software that require close collaboration across disciplines. “Better software and systems engineering enable better, more profitable products,” said Roque Martin, senior vice president and general manager, ALM, PTC. “Software and systems engineering is the lifeblood of smart, connected products. Manufacturers that take advantage of the
