EDAG Production Solutions and Framence have entered into a strategic partnership. Together, the companies are developing solutions for digital twins, engineering, and the digitization of industrial production environments.
To remain competitive in the market in the future, more and more companies are considering digitizing their CNC manufacturing processes. The right software solutions can make process knowledge transparently accessible and significantly reduce the workload on the shop floor—provided the right conditions are in place.
Quality controls in production
How can complex components in automotive production be inspected fully automatically and in real time with the help of machine vision and robotics? The case study shows how floor pans are measured and inspected fully automatically.

New platform facilitates chip design
Siemens is cooperating with the Chips JU within the framework of EuroCDP and is facilitating access to modern EDA software for chip design, development and innovation for European companies. The aim is to strengthen start-ups, SMEs and research institutions and make the European semiconductor industry more competitive.

Further development of robotic AI
Sereact secures 110 million US dollars in a Series B round. The capital will be used to further develop the Cortex 2 AI platform - a solution in which robots actively take over picking processes in warehouses and production.
Industry 4.0 places new demands on qualification and process understanding. An industry-oriented production simulation illustrates agile production and networked automation and enables complex processes to be analyzed and optimized in a practical manner.
Increased efficiency through simulation...
Schnaithmann Maschinenbau has planned and implemented three assembly lines for the automated production of automotive displays. Together with Schnaithmann's customer, a German automotive supplier, various system concepts were simulated, validated and compared with each other.
