Hexagon acquires CADLM

Hexagon AB, a global leader in sensor, software and autonomous solutions, has aquired CADLM SAS, a pioneer in powering computer-aided engineering (CAE) with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to revolutionise the impact of simulation in product development processes and lifecycles. Founded in 1989, France-based CADLM has years of experience developing computational design and optimisation methods for industrial products and processes, and since 2014 has been developing AI and machine learning solutions. Its ODYSSEE software platform applies AI and machine learning to real-world sensor data and physics-based simulation data to produce accurate, predictive models of a product at efficient computing power levels. The combination enables faster, more efficient simulations of dynamic, multi-physics phenomena – such as automotive crash and safety – that fully characterise and understand real-world product behaviour. This insight enables engineers to explore the design space more extensively and interactively and improve next-generation products without prohibitive computing cost or time. Furthermore, the pervasive use of the digital twin beyond the early design phase enables manufacturers to leverage image recognition, predictive simulation and fault prediction to address challenges such as downtime, throughput, quality and flexibility throughout the manufacturing process. “The convergence of CAE with advances in data management, AI, machine-learning and an increasingly connected manufacturing lifecycle is transforming the industry’s ability to address increasingly complex design challenges with rapid innovation and increased productivity,” says Hexagon President and CEO Ola Rollén. “CADLM’s AI knowledge and technology further strengthen our Smart Manufacturing solutions portfolio, putting data to work beyond the early design phase to improve product design innovation, manufacturing productivity, product quality and environmental sustainability through reductions in material waste.” CADLM will operate as part of Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division. The acquisition has no significant impact on Hexagon’s earnings. Completion of the transaction (closing) is subject to normal closing conditions. Hexagon […]

Learn from Asia

Fabian von Heimburg Co-founder and Managing Director, Hotnest When I started my technology company in China 7 years ago, everybody in the West thought China was just copying European and US technology and there was no real innovation taking place. The overriding theme in the media and at conferences – where I spoke about the daily reality of operating in the Chinese startup world – was always belittling Chinese innovation, while South East Asia was not even mentioned. But what I saw seven years ago from my daily experience is that China was already very innovative in many areas – from e-commerce to social media – and had created a unique ecosystem. The world was surprised when China was suddenly recognised as being innovative and leading the way in AI, IoT and electric vehicles – areas where the West thought it was ahead. The problem was an inability and unwillingness from western observers to understand or acknowledge the tremendous development that was taking place. The West is frankly not used to learning from others. Europe and the US are mostly looking at each other, or worse, just internally for innovation and progress. Many Asian countries on the other hand, are used to observing very closely what is happening in Europe and the US in terms of innovation and progress. The West’s judgement of the rest of the world is more and more clouded by judgement based solely on differences in values. If Europe wants to keep progressing like it has in the last 50 years, it needs to finally start learning from Asia, just as Asia has been doing from Europe for decades. Our future depends on cooperation and mutual learning, avoiding conflict and solving the world’s biggest problems, such as climate change, together. Europe needs to learn how to […]

Hitachi launches Industrial Edge Computer CE series embedded AI model’

Hitachi has launched the Hitachi Industrial Edge Computer CE series embedded AI model, that was developed in collaboration with Intel Corporation. The product, an integration of Intel’s AI technology and Hitachi’s highly reliable control system design and manufacturing technologies, is a new model that incorporates an image analysis execution platform using AI and deep learning. Through providing this product, Hitachi contributes to the expansion of digital transformation, such as streamlining and automating tasks that rely on visual checks (the inspection process for finished products in the manufacturing industry) and solving management challenges using on-site data. Manufacturing companies are facing many challenges, such as the need for the improvement of on-site work efficiency and the development of a new generation of expert workers, so they are implementing a digital transformation using IoT, AI, and other digital technologies. This trend has been accelerating amid the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially with an urgent need for personnel allocation measures to maintain physical distance between workers on site. In order to fulfil these objectives, it is important to automate and conserve the labour used in visual inspections and other conventional inspections that rely on the sensory judgement of expert workers. Yet, in order for companies to enhance their competitiveness, rapid problem solving and decision making are also required by optimising the entire production tasks and making effective use of management data through the collection, processing, and analysis of data from on-site devices. Against this backdrop, Hitachi collaborated with Intel and developed Hitachi Industrial Edge Computer CE series embedded AI model as an edge computer that will enable the effective allocation of on-site workers and achieve automation and labour saving. With a built-in image analysis execution platform that uses Intel’s AI and deep learning, the product will allow the easy introduction of solutions using […]
