STRENGTHS

• Enhanced user experience with an enriched 3D view, reinforcing adoption and interaction with the NC machine. In the Windows 8 PRO environment, NCSIMUL Machine Hub is a “tile” type application that provides one-click access to all available jobs.
• Streamlined ergonomics: the man-machine interface implements Microsoft Windows 8 PRO standards, notably ribbon mode capability. Other key features are intuitive, context-sensitive icons that facilitate use in touch mode.
• High-performance NC simulation: the result of a close partnership with Intel, NCSIMUL Machine 9 now implements algorithms that have been revised to make optimal use of multi-core processors and multithreading. Collision detection and material removal calculations are performed simultaneously, delivering quadrupled performance gains.

Olivier Bellaton, Managing Director of SPRING Technologies concludes: “Today’s upcoming ‘Y generation’ programmers really want to join companies that operate at the leading edge of technology. They know this is what makes the difference in the market place. Today, manufacturers who do not factor ultra-mobility into every stage in their corporate process will find it harder to hire people with the right profile. Making human resources and technology work together is the key to building the factories of tomorrow ─ smart factories!”
