…Varner also operates stores in Iceland, Denmark, Austria and Germany. All of the stores and e-commerce customers are supplied from the central logistics center in Vänersborg. Planning for the new facility began in 2013. Prior to that, each of the retail chains operated their own distribution networks independent of each another. These operated from 10 different manual warehouses in Northern Europe, all operated by 3PLs. While the supply chain had evolved over the years, it had become too complex and inefficient to address Varner’s changing needs. What’s more, Varner did not have the level of control it wanted over its…

…through a facility to do their work. In Mindelheim, Germany, Grob-Werke GmbH & Co. KG, a family-owned manufacturer of machines and assembly systems for manufacturing operations, turned to that same combination to streamline the way it picks and kits materials in a new logistics center to replenish assembly stations in its adjacent manufacturing plant. After all, if you think about it, picking pieces for the line is not unlike picking pieces for a single- or multi-line order for a consumer - they both involve handling a lot of individual parts. The result has been “a logistics paradigm shift,” according to…

…launched its AM simulation tool at Formnext in Frankfurt, Germany. Simulation helps companies predict the behavior of a part during production, so that they can optimize build preparation and reduce costs. “Specific simulations can be done in the virtual environment to reduce errors and optimize the entire production process for a specific part or specific geometry,” Motte says. “You’re not just reducing scrap, but increasing productivity.” The use of simulation also helps companies address the shortage of AM experts. “You need simulation to have stability in the process, because staff come and go,” says Brent Stucker, director of additive manufacturing…

…expenditures every year. Other players like France, Russia, Japan, Germany, and India are trying to come up with more efficient and economic ways of conducting space missions. For instance, in November 2013, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched a Mars Orbiter with a mere expenditure of $74 million, making it the most economical Mars mission ever. An endless space for robotics Even though the oldest space agency—the Russian Federation Space Agency or RFSA, now ROSCOSMOS—was established around 100 years ago, humans have really only just begun to explore beyond Earth. Ever since the USSR's launch of Sputnik on…
