…data onboard,” Walker says. “The system is designed for interoperability so that when the system calling the shots calls a shot, the robot can execute the task.” This space is still evolving, and, as Berkshire Grey’s Blair noted earlier, there is a tug of war over who will be responsible for order optimization. And, it may not be an either/or situation: Depending on the company and its underlying system of record, it may be a robot execution system, it may be a WMS, it may be a warehouse execution system or it may be a work execution system. If there’s…

…optimisation software and underlines our commitment to openness and interoperability with third party products,” says Dr. Hendrik Schafstall, CEO and managing director at Simufact. “With the integration of the QuantAM build processor, we can provide an end-to-end build optimisation process, helping the users of Renishaw systems to produce AM components with repeatable dimensional accuracy right first time.” The collaboration extends to improving the simulation process itself. The increasing adoption of multi-laser LPBF systems for production applications presents new simulation challenges. Faster energy input from multiple lasers means that metal components often experience higher temperatures during the printing process, affecting their…

Elysium, a global interoperability solutions provider, has integrated its advanced suite of software to support realizing MBD/MBE (model-based definition/model-based enterprise) with Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to aid users in achieving fast, accurate, compliance-checked transfer of data in multi-CAD environments. The new Elysium integration also ensures that customized quality checks, geometry/product manufacturing information (PMI)/attribute validation and geometry simplification are done automatically within the 3DEXPERIENCE modeling, simulation and product lifecycle management ecosystem to create streamlined data workflows. This enhanced functionality is equally applicable to outside CAD and engineering data that can now be brought into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as tested, compliant data…

…(PWG) to focus on a standard to enable tool interoperability between Failure Modes, Effects, and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) for functional safety and the design and verification flow of electronic circuits and systems. “Functional safety is a requirement for safety-critical applications,” says Lu Dai, chair of Accellera. “The purpose of the PWG is to explore industry interest and to determine the level of commitment in moving forward with standardization efforts. Our standardization initiatives are user-driven, and we look forward to feedback from the community in the coming months to help us determine our efforts in this area.” “The EDA industry is…

…We’ve known since the earliest days of CAD that interoperability is important in engineering software, and it turns out it is also important in the new world of AI and DL for product design. Much of the work to date in AI is based on open source data models, modified by users as needed for their products. This update adds six new deep learning models, making it even more useful when building CUDA code for a deep learning project. Autonomous automotive engineering gets a boost in this new update. MathWorks has added support for Unreal Engine sensor models. This allows…

…independently created and used in different systems. To ensure interoperability, the engineers incorporate industry standard modular interfaces. The driving forces behind this approach lie in seemingly mutually exclusive demands. Industrial facilities seek machines tailored to accommodate the unique demands of their applications, such as size, operating speed and specialized features. At the same time, however, plant managers place a high value on flexibility. To further complicate machine makers’ tasks, customers want the machines immediately at the lowest possible price. To meet these demands, machinery companies turn to modular strategies, making sure each functional area of the machine can be customized…

…Army is increasing readiness by strengthening its relationships and interoperability with business partners, like 3D Systems, who advance warfighter requirements at the best value to the taxpayer,” says Dr. Joseph South, ARL's program manager for Science of Additive Manufacturing for Next Generation Munitions. “Up until now, powder bed laser 3D printers have been too small, too slow, and too imprecise to produce major ground combat subsystems at scale. Our goal is to tackle this issue head-on with the support of allies and partners who aid the Army in executing security cooperation activities in support of common national interests, and who…

…why security is so important, cited a lack of interoperability as a sticking point and discussed a number of different technologies (AR, blockchain, AI) and how far they’ve come in the supply chain. Allen also talked about the circular economy (an economic system aimed at minimizing waste and maximizing resources) and discussed how “failure is learning” in the technology world, noting that “we should all be teaching the management chain that every failure puts you closer to success.” In his presentation on how AI is transforming the supply chain, Vineet Sinha of Johnson Controls discussed the complexity of the modern-day…
