Platform library for co-simulation
For mechanical and plant engineering, a simulation platform is a powerful tool for using digital twins to cost-effectively configure entire plants, including the control system, and to test and commission them virtually.

SolidCAM presented the new features of the SolidCAM 2021 version at Intec/Z connect 2021.
A tool for designing linear technology, including the appropriate drives and control units, offers additional added value by also teaching the basics of the technology and is therefore suitable as a training tool.

Screws are among the most frequently used fasteners and are therefore often used in large numbers to join components together.
With the SolidWorks platform, Loll Feinmechanik has implemented a continuous data flow that also includes high-precision, CAx-optimized milling and is connected to the ERP system.
Subscription models are catching on. Many manufacturing companies, especially in the automotive industry, are also expanding their portfolios with digital services and developing new business models - often with flexible, customer-centric subscription models. However, as DoubleSlash observes, the monetization of a subscription-enabled business model is often introduced too late in the project.

Easy access to robotics - Kuka is pursuing this goal and is presenting the first elements of an operating system of the future at the digital Hannover Messe 2021.
Interview with Detlev Reicheneder, Autodesk
Digitalization and software are bringing about change in design, development and production. We spoke to Detlev Reicheneder, Senior Director Business Strategy Design & Manufacturing at Autodesk, about the opportunities and effects of software and digitalization on manufacturing today and in the future.
Software is playing an increasingly important role in production. The quality of the code is crucial for production processes, which is why attention should already be paid to defects and malfunctions during development. Modern static analysis tools can help, but there are a few things to consider when selecting them.
