…that’s brought a lot of assurance for our customers.” Siemens, which markets AM simulation software in addition to its Additive Manufacturing Network, an online order-to-delivery collaboration platform for industrial AM, is addressing the security challenges related to 3D printing in various ways. Officials see the digitalization of the design-to-production process as creating new opportunities to address longstanding traceability issues, whether the production method is 3D printing or traditional practices like computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling, according to Aaron Frankel, vice president of Siemens’ additive manufacturing software program. Early in the design cycle, users of NX can specify rules for CAD…

…equipped with an on-board programmable logic controller (PLC) from Siemens or Schneider Electric, which ensures their efficient and safe navigation. Effective AGV navigation relies on good communication between the AGVs and the factory’s control system. This communication enables the factory to track each AGVs' location, load, and real-time status. Mercedes-Benz’s previous AGV system used Bluetooth technology along with HMS’ Anybus Wireless Bolt and Bridge products. However, they wanted to improve the system’s efficiency and prepare to comply with the EU Machinery Regulation. “While Bluetooth worked well, we now want to enhance our AGV system to support higher throughput, fast roaming,…

…many well-established industrial solution providers such as ABB, GE, Siemens, and Honeywell, and bring AI into brownfield deployment, lowering upfront cost and the barrier to adoption. Through their partnership with system integrators and regional distributors, these startups have also ventured into Europe, South Korea, and Japan. “The high labor cost and the quick time-to-market have driven U.S. manufacturers to be more aggressive with the adoption of industrial AI solutions. This has given birth to pure-play AI players in the US, and as such, keeps the US to be the global leader in industrial AI solutions. Over time, however, we believe…

…quickly study a system’s dominant aspects. Image courtesy of Siemens Digital Industries Software. Starting with a problem that the engineer defines, ML can help streamline optimization of a high number of variables. The workflow begins by using a co-simulation model to create datasets to train a ROM, providing sufficiently accurate results across all of the physics required (Fig. 2). “ROM can improve product design in numerous ways,” says Jenmy Zhang, post-doctoral researcher at Autodesk. “A few examples include reducing overall time to generate many design possibilities, predicting part performance on the fly during interactive design and product performance probabilistic sensitivity…
