Avatars assemble vehicles at Ford?
Yes they do! Virtual vehicles, of course, and the avatars are called Jack and Jill.

This is not an easy task as the amount of information to take into account is huge. Starting with architectural information like the plant layout to libraries of standard manufacturing equipment which can be used to build the products to the required output of the manufacturing lines.
In addition there are a lot of people from different departments involved which need to communicate to finally get an optimized, reliable and well functioning factory.
In a previous blog post Brad Whitmore from Procter & Gamble described how he and his team solved this challenge.

Do you want to hold you CAD models in your hand? I mean, physically?
This is already possible for several years and known as rapid prototyping, 3D prototyping or direct digital manufacturing. And the price of these 3D printers is getting down. Still it’s something fascinating. I had the opportunity to see the whole process live at the Hannover Fair. Starting with the design in NX and then just using the regular printing capability to launch the HP printer driver. After some additional calculations the printer starts working. A few hours later you can already hold the part in your hands.
Take a look at this video to see the whole process in action.

As mentioned in my previous blog post about Hannover Fair here are some interesting pictures from the fair.
The first one is from the introduction video for the Virtual Commissioning showcase which we run every hour. Take a closer look and you will realize the move from virtual too real in the picture.

You may have read our latest press release about the product and production lifecycle initiative. At the press conference at Hannover Fair, Helmuth Ludwig talked about this as well. He highlighted in his presentation two important topics: the extended offering of Siemens Industry Automation in regards to the industry software market and an update about the integrated product and production lifecycle. I would like to share Helmuth’s presentation with you.
The major projects for the integrated product and production lifecycle are:
- Virtual Commissioning
- Virtual Machine
- PLM and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
- PLM and Plant Design (Comos)
Especially the first project “Virtual Commissioning” was showcased live every hour. You might realize that the guy on the right and myself look quite similar 
Take a look at the presentation for more insights.

We made a number of announcements at Hannover today. In case you missed them, here’s a brief summary. One of the announcements provides an update on our product and production lifecycle initiative so I’ve also included a video from one of my colleagues taken at Hannover that explains how a customer integrates product and production lifecycle with Siemens software.

A quick update from Hannover Fair 2010; the world’s largest industry fair is opening the gates today. Siemens PLM Software will be present on two different booths. One is our own in hall 17 and the other one is the Siemens AG booth in hall 9.
Here is a sneak-peak from the preparation we did on Sunday afternoon.

Just recently I had the chance to do a video interview with Ziyon Amram, Vice President Tecnomatix Digital Manufacturing solutions. He discussed the digital manufacturing market in North America and how the Tecnomatix organization supports this important market.

Furthermore he took a closer look at the Aerospace and Defense industry. Ziyon shared some examples about how the digital manufacturing solution integrated to the PLM platform Teamcenter helps this industry to manage today’s challenges.

Demographic change and healthcare is one of the megatrends engineers all around the world looking for innovations for. People are living longer and want to remain mobile in old age. One piece of a solution for this, are unique implants like artificial knee and hip joints. These implants are mostly made out of titanium and cobalt chrome, as they are very durable. The challenge is to manufacture and machine sophisticated and unique implants in a short time from these difficult materials.

Are you working in a manufacturing planning department? Are you an industrial engineer working on manual or semi-automatic work stations? If yes, the new capabilities of Jack (our digital human model) might be of interest for you. And if not, this might give you some insight about the work of a manufacturing engineer.
Let’s take a look at the left part of this picture:
