FluidHouse Oy is the leading supplier of hydraulic and oil lubrication systems in Finland and a global leader in its key market segments. The company's strengths are based on more than 40 years' experience in developing fluid power automation systems and innovative product development. Better competitiveness is something all companies are striving for. FluidHouse decided to develop its own competitive edge by creating smoother information flow - from pre-design to the manufacturing, installation and service. This will benefit both contract manufacturing and project deliveries. To achieve the goal, a single location of information was needed. FluidHouse selected Modultek's solutions to fulfil this need. SolidPDM makes it easy to manage and share all engineering data. Customer documentation and sales materials are managed with Aton Documentor. Both solutions use the same database, so all experts are utilizing and building-up the same data store. Established in 2003, FluidHouse Oy is a privately owned company and group

Xamarin today announced a relationship with Oracle that helps enterprises quickly implement high-quality mobile apps and gain a competitive advantage. The Xamarin SDK for Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, available today, allows enterprises to create scalable mobile solutions for iOS, Android, and Windows, with secure data integration and management. This new SDK, together with Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, a next generation mobile backend-as-a-service (MBaaS), represents a major transformation in making enterprise mobility simple and easy. Successful enterprise mobile apps require a consumer-grade, native frontend and an enterprise-grade secure, connected backend. The combination of the Xamarin Platform with Oracle Mobile Cloud Service makes this possible. Enterprises can create fully native, high-performance iOS, Android and Windows apps in shared code with Xamarin. With just a few lines of code, developers can connect their Xamarin apps to the Oracle Mobile Cloud Service for robust backend access, including enterprise security, push notifications, authentication, backend integrations, data

Anark Corporation announced that it is partnering with NCMS (The National Center for Manufacturing Sciences) and NAWCAD (Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division) on their ground breaking “Multi-PLM and Multi-CAD drives Common 3D PDF MBE Best Practices” deployment project sponsored through the joint NCMS & DOD Commercial Technologies for Maintenance Activities (CTMA). This program takes the next major step in establishing processes and procedures which will streamline and connect NAWCAD’s multiple disparate PLM and CAD Engineering tools to drive common and open 3D MBE best practices to the many downstream consumers of engineering data. For the past six years the Department of Defense has been leading the way in developing best practices and procedures to enable the 3D Model Based Enterprise (3D MBE) through the transformation of their Native CAD plus Model Based Definition (MBD) data into open platforms that are free to view and free to deploy like 3D PDF and

Max Conwell designs lighting for some of the most recognized names in music. But perhaps even more impressive than his list of clients, which includes Morrissey, No Doubt, and Incubus, is Conwell’s dedication to entertainment design technology. “When I started freelancing as a lighting technician, it was the infancy of moving lights and scrolling color changers,” says Conwell, founder of Naked Eye Lighting, a design consultancy in the United Kingdom. Those technologies have since matured, and his current work now incorporates exciting emergent techniques like 3D pixel and video mapping. With an established place at the forefront of the entertainment industry, Conwell’s style continues to evolve as he diversifies his portfolio with work in architectural and television lighting, as well. Conwell’s success is based on his consideration of both the artist and the audience. This process is highlighted in his recent work with Morrissey. Collaborating with the British star frequently over
