…with products. Partners present at the grand opening included Siemens for software and factory processes; BASF and GKN for materials; Materialise and ZiggZagg for services; and Avid Product Development for design optimization. Disrupting Manufacturing Business Models Business model disruption was as much of a theme as any particular technology or partnership. “We are in this business to impact how manufacturing affects the whole business model,” says Schell. An example can be found in orthodontics. First Invisalign (a 3D Systems customer) used 3D printing to create custom braces sold through orthodontic offices, then SmileDirectClub (an HP customer) moved to a home…

…State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (principal investigator), Siemens Corp., Spirit AeroSystems Topic areas addressed: Discovery workshops and market studies Description: Complex manufacturing systems can have many costs, errors, and hazards that may not be apparent in the design phase alone. Simulating systems by using digital/virtual twins allows for system testing in a digital environment prior to installation, enabling more successful installs and better “Day 1” experiences. This project will create a report detailing the framework for the creation of a virtual twin for commissioning, and all the steps involved in its development. The framework package will contain the…

…the vulnerabilities in robots owned by NASA, Huawei, and Siemens, as well as in hospitals, banks, and universities. Alias Robotics noted that the security flaws related to ROS 2 could have “devastating consequences” if they are not addressed. ROS 2 was released in February 2015. They could allow distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on robots, asserted Victor Mayoral Vilches, robotics architect and co-founder of Alias Robotics. “That means you can externally induce through network connectivity large, special crafted networking packages and literally generate essentially enough problems into a robot so that it becomes unstable,” he told Robotics 24/7. The vulnerabilities were…

…of the industrial machinery and heavy equipment industry at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “Modeling and simulation go hand in hand, and more engineers in machinery are embracing generative design, which helps build the model through topology optimization by running successive iterations on the simulation model.” The Best of Both Worlds Design modularization is another methodology gaining favor. This approach combines the advantages of standardization with those of customization. Using this practice, design teams subdivide a system into discrete, scalable modules that can be independently created and used in different systems. To ensure interoperability, the engineers incorporate industry standard modular interfaces.…

…institutes. Like other organizations — including BMW, Amazon, and Siemens — Fraunhofer IML relies on NVIDIA Omniverse for advanced applied research, said NVIDIA Corp. Fraunhofer IML moves from MP3s to AMRs The Fraunhofer Society has more than 30,000 employees and is involved in hundreds of research projects. In the 1990s, for instance, Fraunhofer was responsible for the development of the MP3 file format, which it said led to the digital music revolution. Seeking to send AGVs along the same path as the compact disc, Fraunhofer in 2013 launched the Smart Transport Robot (STR). BMW and others now widely use it…
