Industrial machinery in manufacturing is experiencing\nunprecedented advancements in innovative technologies. It is a challenging\nendeavor to design, validate and manage modern manufacturing and assembly\noperations to achieve high-quality while optimizing costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our third podcast of this series on Advanced Machine Engineering, we will learn the advantages that advanced machine engineering provides to the industrial machinery manufacturers. Our focus is virtual machine simulation and commissioning and how machine manufacturers are implementing this approach to improving quality while reducing delivery time for highly sophisticated machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are\njoined again by our special guest and engineering expert, Bill Davis, Director of Industrial Machinery and Heavy\nEquipment Solutions at Siemens Digital Industry Software<\/em>. His 30 years of\nexperience in engineering and operations management includes more than 20 years\nin industrial machinery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this third podcast, we are discussing the overwhelming evolution of technology within the machine industry. We cover some of the crucial trends that are shaping the industry, including multi-disciplinary design, virtual machine simulation and commissioning, multi-disciplinary Bill of Material (BOM) management and configuration management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our previous podcast took a deep dive into the multi-disciplinary design; however, for this session, we are shifting over to virtual machine simulation and commissioning and defining it in terms of how a machine proves itself to the customer physically, on the factory floor, and predetermining that virtually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, we\ndiscuss robotic integration with multi-axis capabilities, using code with a\ntransactional relationship for extracting its behavior, where there’s\ncontinuous data flowing back and forth between the PLC code and the robot.  This setup creates an exceptionally complex\nenvironment when driving machines to be more efficient, operating near the\nedges of their capability and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more, liste<\/a>n<\/a> to the conversation with Bill Butcher and Bill Davis, in this third podcast in the Advanced Machine Engineering series \u2013 where today meets tomorrow.
