Anark Corporation today announced it has signed a Strategic Reseller Agreement with PLM Group, SolidWorks' largest reseller in the Nordic region. The paradigm shift away from traditional 2-dimensional engineering drawings to communicate design intent, and the move toward paperless processes in manufacturing through the use of Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) best practices, enables substantial cost-savings and new efficiencies within design and manufacturing operations. Leveraging Anark's well-known 3D MBE successes within the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as many of the world's most innovative Enterprises (like General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Ericsson Communications, Honeywell, and Boeing Defense), Anark and PLM Group plan to rapidly repeat and extend these successes within world-leading manufacturing enterprises located in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. "The adoption of Model-Based Enterprise practices has produced compelling and company transforming results, with many of our customers reporting 30% reduction in engineering time, 20% reduction in scrap

The Environmental Materials Information Technology (EMIT) Consortium today announced technology upgrades that are being delivered in a new version of the GRANTA MI:Restricted Substances software from Granta Design. This collates input from Consortium member organizations on how to refine the underlying data structures (known as the ‘schema’) of the system. The resulting new template database can be applied by any users of the software to improve existing implementations or quickly create new ones. The EMIT Consortium is pioneering an effective approach to managing restricted substances risk—a problem which, left unmanaged, can result in multi-million dollar implications including: product  redesigns due to material obsolescence, diversion of resources to meet reporting obligations, and even costly legal liabilities for non-compliance. Members include Airbus Defense & Space, Airbus Helicopters, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, NASA, Rolls-Royce, and United Technologies Corporation. Granta provides the GRANTA MI software system used by members. Through its twice-yearly meetings (most recently, hosted by Honeywell Aerospace in September)
