The scenery of industrial machinery in manufacturing is\nseeing a pioneering renovation of technological progressions. It is a daunting\ntask to design, validate and manage modern manufacturing and assembly\noperations to achieve a first-class level of quality while optimizing cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this latest series of advanced machine engineering podcasts, we are discussing how machinery manufacturers are gaining a competitive advantage by implementing a digital thread approach to engineering, which enables the development of highly sophisticated machines, faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our special guest and engineering expert, Bill Davis, Director of Industrial Machinery and Heavy Equipment Solutions at Siemens Digital Industry Software<\/em>, is discussing Advanced Machine Engineering solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first podcast will cover some of the current challenges\nand trends facing machinery manufacturers and how these hurdles are driving a\ntechnological evolution that is enabling machine manufacturers to exploit\nprofits and discover industry trends driving the adoption of this innovative\ntechnology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill\u2019s\nextensive background in engineering, automation, converting and packaging\nmachinery, along with 30 years in engineering and management, empower him with\nan advantageous perspective of industrial machinery. His experiences have\nassisted customers with their go-to-market strategy. Throughout his experience,\nhe is leading the charge in bringing companies forward on their digitalization\njourney, whether it’s CAD, PLM, ERP integration, solution and simulation and\nother advancing technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our first\npodcast of this series, you will learn how the tools have changed for machine\nbuilders, with advanced capabilities to those used ten years ago. The industry\nis witnessing a changing dynamic in two different parts: CAD\/CAM and simulation\ncapability. There\u2019s more core technology around embedding simulation into the\ndesign process – so multi-discipline domains, finite element analysis,\ncomputational fluid dynamics, vibration and harshness – as well as more\ncollaborative multi-discipline types of design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These\nadvances include “The Generative Design Movement,” in not designing\nfirst and then simulating to see problems but using loads and constraints that\nare in the design to help shape the net material needed in the part, thus\ndriving the design via additive manufacturing. Lastly, there’s the simulation\nin everything in the machine to try and arrive at the final product without\nvalidating the PLC code and automation code that’s in it. So, these are significant\nchanges from a market perspective, including the solution products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
