SOFTWARE UPDATE
used 3D modeling software. Powered by Dassault’s 3DEx- perience platform, Solidworks 2017 helps innovators design, validate, collaborate, build and manage their product devel- opment processes with integrated applications. The update features more core power and performance, as well as new capabilities to address paperless manufacturing through the support of Model-Based Definition (MBD), and printed-circuit board (PCB) design.
Acquisitions As part of its IoT expansion, software developer SAP SE
(Walldorf, Germany) has acquired PLAT.ONE (Palo Alto, CA, and Bogliasco, Italy), an enterprise-grade IoT provider that simplifies the process of creating, deploying and managing complex IoT solutions. The company will use PLAT.ONE’s ex- pertise and technology to accelerate the availability of key IoT capabilities in SAP HANA cloud platform such as advanced lifecycle management for IoT devices, broad device connec-
tivity, strong IoT edge capabilities that work seamlessly with a cloud back end, end-to-end role-based security, and rapid development tools for IoT applications. SAP also recently acquired Fedem Technology (Trond- heim, Norway), developer of advanced engineering analysis and building software for multibody dynamic simulation and lifetime calculation of structures and mechanical systems under the influence of complex loads.
SAP plans to build an end-to-end IoT solution in which a digital avatar continuously represents the state of operating assets through feeds from sensors, replacing the need for physical inspection with a “digital inspection.” Additionally, the solution is intended to consider complex forces in play and detect both instantaneous consequences of one-off events and long-term health effects of cyclic loads, making possible accu- rate monitoring of maintenance requirements and remaining-life prediction for assets.
