…and service of cranes and lifting equipment, has implemented Siemens PLM Software’s digital innovation platform to accelerate its product development process and connect product and performance data together. The company is using MindSphere, the open, cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) operating system, and the Teamcenter portfolio, to leverage the digital twin and reduce the number of physical prototypes. The Konecranes proof of value is one of the first implementations of IoT to develop a framework that connects and synchronizes the virtual (engineering design, analysis and simulation) and physical (testing and operational reliability) worlds, according to Siemens. “The product design process…

…Ravi Shankar, director of global simulation product marketing for Siemens PLM Software. “One critical area is to do what we call first-time-right print. Typically, companies attempt to print a part multiple times at a high cost before they actually achieve an acceptable result. That is delaying the transition of what is a very exciting technology into real production scenarios.” “If you look at AM today, the scrap rate is still very high compared to traditional manufacturing,” says Stefaan Motte, vice president and general manager of software at Materialise. “You can see anywhere from 5% to 10% to 15% scrap, depending…

…BluVision, UWB based RTLS deployments from Zebra, Sewio, and Siemens, in addition to AR and VR deployments from GE, Boeing, and Honeywell, among others, demonstrate this growing momentum, though the aforementioned challenges are hindering scalability. “The enormous benefits that wireless technologies can help achieve, including predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, big data analytics, more flexible workforces, efficiency improvements, safety enhancements, and many others will combine to produce increasing financial and production incentives that cannot be avoided,” said Zignani. “Wired technologies are simply not adequate to address all the multifaceted needs of the varied devices that will make up the IIoT and…

…in digital twins and simulation software include PTC, SAP, Siemens, and ANSYS. The above technologies have already started to converge, according to ABI, and robotics provide a physical representation of this convergence. Robotics use AI and computer vision and connect to IIoT platforms where they have digital twins. This connectivity and AI will increase in importance as more cobots join the assembly line and work alongside humans. The robotics vendors that can integrate the most deeply with other transformative technologies have the biggest opportunity. Such vendors include the likes of ABB, KUKA, FANUC, Universal Robots, Rethink Robotics and Yaskawa. “The…
