For years, engineers have poured their time and efforts into designing intricate aircraft systems, laboring over every detail without truly grasping the sheer scale of their creations. All of this changed the moment they put on a VR headset. Suddenly, engineers are finding themselves standing next to a life-size wing, experiencing their designs in a shared virtual reality space as if they were physically present. This is not just a technical breakthrough; it is a groundbreaking moment for engineers that promises a new profound understanding of their work. The convergence of AI, VR and advanced simulation technologies brings a transformative and promising future for aerospace engineering. Drawing inspiration from the immersive experiences of the 3D gaming world, these cutting-edge solutions will revolutionize how engineers design, test and refine aerospace systems. The same compelling, interactive experiences that captivate gamers are now poised to empower engineers, providing unprecedented levels of detail, accuracy and engagement throughout the design process.

The global market for digital twin technology is expected to grow from $10.1 billion in 2023 to $110.1 billion by 2028. Industrial manufacturing companies across sectors are beginning to utilize digital twins to optimize production, enable predictive maintenance and reduce design errors. Like simulations, digital twins are virtual, computer-generated versions of physical systems, such as an industrial robot, a manufacturing process, the complex layout of an automated storage and retrieval system, or even the inputs and nodes of a global supply chain. What distinguishes twins from simulations, however, is that digital twins incorporate real-time data from the physical systems and processes they emulate and often allow users to provide active feedback to those systems. This has brought an unprecedented increase in manufacturing capability across the board.

Despite vast technological advances, food insecurity is one of our oldest problems as humans. 280 million go hungry each day while a third of the global produce is wasted. Our customer Blendhub is making food security a sustainable mission. Their goal is to transform food production and facilitate access to healthy, affordable and local products. BlendHub is working to resolve the supply-demand disconnect at the heart of the issue with digital twin technology and software-defined automation. By working from a modularized design contained within a 40-foot shipping container, they can reduce their cost overhead and complexity to deliver food reliably to those in need. The modularity and agility BlendHub can achieve is possible because they start to define and optimize the systems they need in the virtual world. Their work in the digital world has also brought down the deployment time for their micro-factories. Check out the full story via the link in our comments. #Sustainability #DigitalTwin #Automation

Cold brew coffee, cookies, cupcakes, craft beer and cola—not just the grocery list for a fun afternoon with friends. These are also beacons of smart manufacturing; revolutionizing the food and beverage industry. But, beyond the buzzword, what really is smart manufacturing? And why should it matter to you? It all comes down to flexibility. Trends shift quickly and consumer demands are more unpredictable than ever. Whether it’s a sudden craze for a new flavor of craft beer or a spike in demand for a healthier cola option, the ability to pivot quickly can make or break a business. Smart manufacturing is driving this need for flexibility through the use of automation and digitalization. But what about sustainability? Sustainability is the greatest challenge of our time. Smart manufacturing, with its emphasis on automation and digitalization, plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability goals. Automation streamlines processes, reducing energy use and waste, while digitalization provides the data-driven insights needed to optimize resource management. #SmartManufacturing #Sustainability #Digitalization
