…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…

…of heavy electric trucks for customers such as Coca-Cola, SKF, and Lidl. The company's technical collaborators include Ericsson and Siemens, and it has also partnered with customers Oatly, Bridgestone, and GE Appliances, a Haier company. Since Oct. 1, 2020, Einride said its partners have seen a 90% decrease in CO2 emissions with electrical transport, while matching the cost of diesel. Einride will officially establish a U.S. headquarters in New York, where parts of the leadership team will be based. In addition to its headquarters, the company plans to open up regional offices in Austin, San Francisco and in the South…

…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…

…that’s brought a lot of assurance for our customers.” Siemens, which markets AM simulation software in addition to its Additive Manufacturing Network, an online order-to-delivery collaboration platform for industrial AM, is addressing the security challenges related to 3D printing in various ways. Officials see the digitalization of the design-to-production process as creating new opportunities to address longstanding traceability issues, whether the production method is 3D printing or traditional practices like computer numerically controlled (CNC) milling, according to Aaron Frankel, vice president of Siemens’ additive manufacturing software program. Early in the design cycle, users of NX can specify rules for CAD…

…equipped with an on-board programmable logic controller (PLC) from Siemens or Schneider Electric, which ensures their efficient and safe navigation. Effective AGV navigation relies on good communication between the AGVs and the factory’s control system. This communication enables the factory to track each AGVs' location, load, and real-time status. Mercedes-Benz’s previous AGV system used Bluetooth technology along with HMS’ Anybus Wireless Bolt and Bridge products. However, they wanted to improve the system’s efficiency and prepare to comply with the EU Machinery Regulation. “While Bluetooth worked well, we now want to enhance our AGV system to support higher throughput, fast roaming,…
