Bombardier expands use of Siemens Xcelerator to digitally transform aircraft engineering

by

Bombardier is deepening its investment in digital transformation by expanding its adoption of Siemens Xcelerator software, aiming to streamline aircraft engineering processes from initial design through to production.

The Canadian aerospace manufacturer has selected Siemens’ NX software for 3D modeling, simulation, and manufacturing, as well as Capital software for electrical systems design.

These new tools will complement Bombardier’s ongoing use of Siemens’ Teamcenter product lifecycle management (PLM) system, first implemented in 2018. [Read more…] about Bombardier expands use of Siemens Xcelerator to digitally transform aircraft engineering

IntuiCell unveils ‘world’s first’ digital intelligence that learns like a human brain

by

IntuiCell, a Nordic deep-tech startup at the forefront of blending neuroscience and AI innovation, is announcing a world-first scientific and technological milestone: the development of digital intelligence capable of real-world, real-time learning.

This breakthrough by Intuicell, a spin-out of Sweden’s Lund University, marks a paradigm shift in its field: moving beyond static machine learning models (the mainstay of traditional AI) to a fully functional “digital nervous system” capable of scaling naturally to human-level intelligence.

Earlier this month, IntuiCell released the first video footage of an off-the-shelf robot quadruped (with no pre-programmed intelligence or instructions) which the company has augmented with a digital nervous system.

Nvidia unveils ‘blueprint’ for developing industrial robot fleets

by

According to Gartner, the worldwide end-user spending on all IT products for 2024 was $5 trillion. This industry is built on a computing fabric of electrons, is fully software-defined, accelerated – and now generative AI-enabled. While huge, it’s a fraction of the larger physical industrial market that relies on the movement of atoms.

Today’s 10 million factories, nearly 200,000 warehouses and 40 million miles of highways form the “computing” fabric of our physical world. But that vast network of production facilities and distribution centers is still laboriously and manually designed, operated and optimized.

In warehousing and distribution, operators face highly complex decision optimization problems – matrices of variables and interdependencies across human workers, robotic and agentic systems and equipment. Unlike the IT industry, the physical industrial market is still waiting for its own software-defined moment. [Read more…] about Nvidia unveils ‘blueprint’ for developing industrial robot fleets

Escape the Legal Black Hole: How to Craft a Digital Marketing Strategy That Actually Gets Clients

Introduction: The ‘Build It and They Will Come’ Myth

In the bustling digital metropolis of today’s legal landscape, simply having a website is like setting up a shingle in a ghost town. You might have the fanciest signpost and the most polished oak door, but without a steady stream of foot traffic, your efforts are futile.

Many law firms fall prey to the “build it and they will come” myth, investing in a website only to watch it languish in the vast expanse of the internet, a virtual storefront gathering dust.

This is the “legal black hole” – a website that exists but fails to attract clients or generate leads. It sits there, a static online presence, lost in the cacophony of competing voices and flashing banners.

How to Effortlessly Manage IT Assets with the Right Tools?

by

Even an average person, let alone an entrepreneur or a specialist, heavily relies on several digital tools. Sure, there’s a tool or two that you use regularly, but for a lot of them, subscriptions may be quite complex.

While some subscriptions are made monthly, others require paying for a quarter or a full year upfront. Even if they don’t require it, they might incentivize you by offering you a significantly better deal.

So, you paid last fall, but did you pay in October or November? If this happened a year ago, chances are that you just don’t know. [Read more…] about How to Effortlessly Manage IT Assets with the Right Tools?
