  (PC: itbrief.com.au) VMWare Horizon has played a crucial role in how IT supports employees' work, irrespective of how they decide to work. During the initial transition period of remote work in 2020, VMWare's total cloud-deployed Horizon desktops grew by 82%. It has recently announced new capabilities that include SaaS innovations to make it simpler for IT to manage Horizon deployments wherever they may be, on-premise or in the cloud. “Apps are moving to the cloud and employees are accessing them from everywhere, creating a more complex environment for IT to manage,” said Shankar Iyer, senior vice president, and general manager, End-User Computing, VMware. "VMware Horizon is a modern platform built to reduce this complexity, increase management efficiency, and improve employee productivity regardless of whether the desktop and application workloads are on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both."

  (PC: plm.automation.siemens.com) Siemens Digital Industries Software extended its Xcelerator portfolio with new functions for better electrical and automation design of industrial equipment. This new suite of solutions i.e NX™ Automation Designer software and NX™ Industrial Electrical Design software provides a central design application for industrial electrical and automation design. It provides direct integration with Teamcenter software for product lifecycle management and the entire NX design software, resulting in a unified multidisciplinary design environment for production systems engineering. This latest release helps customers in functional design, by allowing them to start their electrical and automation design work without Teamcenter. NX Automation Designer addresses the growing demand for product variety from consumers by reducing businesses' IT costs. It boosts engineering productivity with a new level of multi-disciplinary collaboration.   To know more details, cl

  (PC: 3ds.com) Boticário Group, the world’s largest beauty brand having over 4000 points of sale in Brazil and over 15 countries, has selected Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to digitally transform the manufacturing of more than 300 million products per year sold under its consumer brands like O Boticário, Eudora, quem disse, berenice?, and Vult. The leading beauty brand will use the “Perfect Production” industry solution experience based on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to refine the shop floor management of its manufacturing operations and accelerate the manufacturing process at its two production plants in Brazil. This will result in increased visibility causing reduced inventory costs and defects. This will benefit the quality and efficiency, supporting the company’s competitiveness.

  (PC: weather.com) A group of researchers is using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to calibrate NASA’s images of the Sun. For over a decade, NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory provided high-definition images of the Sun. The Atmospheric Imagery Assembly or AIA is one of the two imaging instruments on SDO that continuously looks at the Sun, capturing images across 10 wavelengths of ultraviolet light every 12 seconds. Even though this provides useful information, the AIA or similar Sun-staring instruments degrade over time, and data needs to be frequently calibrated. To overcome this drawback, scientists decide to look for other techniques to calibrate the instrument. Machine learning was a perfect solution. With the help of this technique, it can recognize a solar flame without degradation. The algorithm helps understand how much degradation is affecting AIA’s current images and how much calibration is needed. To know more details, click this link .

  (PC: adsknews.autodesk.com) Autodesk recently announced the commercial availability of its digital twin platform, Autodesk Tandem. An FMI report has recently revealed that close to 95 percent of all the data is unused in engineering and construction, causing inefficient processes and revenue loss for all AEC firms and owners. "Autodesk Tandem is a cloud-based digital twin technology platform that aims to turn that stat on its head," said Bob Bray, senior director, and general manager, Autodesk Tandem. "It enables projects to start digital, stay digital, and deliver digital, transforming rich data into business intelligence." This digital twin platform can collect all information about a building, its systems, and critical equipment in tabular and 3D representations. Building operators and facilities managers can find what they are looking for in case of operational issues for proper maintenance. To know more details, click this link

(PC: itweb.co.za) Fujitsu has started the development and deployment of the system that connects the artificial intelligence track cameras, increasing safety at the Nuerburgring racetrack. The initial plan is for 2.8 km of the Nordschleife track section, where only radio contact with the marshals has ensured safety. In case artificial intelligence detects a potential issue, relevant triggers are sent to RaceControl and, oncoming traffic is provided via trackside displays. The Nordschleife track is the most famous track of the Nuerburgring’s two racetracks. It is a 20.8 km track, having a total of 73 turns that also includes blind corners, drops, and significant elevation changes. The Fujitsu solution is based on cameras set up by Nuerburgring that are connected to RaceControl via fiber optic cables. Fujitsu is developing an AI-based system to monitor all the video feeds in real-time and detect potential dangers where any.  To know more details, click this link

  (PC: prnewswire.com) Siemens Digital Industries announced recently that TotalEnergies Gas Mobility selected MindSphere, the industrial IoT as a service solution, to collect, monitor, and analyze data across its network of Natural Gas for Vehicle (NGV) refueling stations. TotalEnergies Gas Mobility is the global competence center for natural, renewable, and hydrogen gas for mobility and small-scale LNG. TotalEnergies Gas Mobility has already connected with around 50 stations across the Netherlands, Belgium, and France in the first year, with a plan to reduce maintenance costs via remote monitoring and service schedule. The company selected MindSphere due to its wide range of IoT capabilities to arrange, collaborate, and deliver digital services, advanced security, governance options, and robust scalability. MindSphere is a part of Siemens' Xcelerator TM portfolio of software and services. To know more details, click this link
