Siemens Energy Selects News
Syntax, the leading multi-cloud and multi-ERP managed cloud provider for mission-critical applications, today announced a partnership with Siemens Energy to design and implement its new SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud (DMC) infrastructure for over 80 production sites globally.

Syntax will execute the SAP DMC subscription contract for five pilot plants located in Germany, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. These sites reflect the enormously wide range of Siemens Energy’s requirements as Syntax gathers critical process data for analysis, process modeling and execution, and resource coordination.

During this period, Syntax will also provide expertise in the integration of manufacturing processes for the company, creating a strong foundation for a digital factory implementation through the creation of a standard template. This Siemens Energy template, which is set to be developed before the end of 2023, will gradually be rolled out globally over a period of seven years.

"We are very proud that Siemens Energy has chosen Syntax for this strategic and important global initiative, The combination of SAP know-how, industry experience and global positioning that Syntax brings to the table is unique – especially with the addition of our recently-founded global Center of Excellence for Manufacturing and participation in global certification programs.”

-Ralf Sürken, CEO Europe, Syntax.

As one of the world’s leading energy technology companies, Siemens Energy operates globally along nearly the entire energy value chain. Its products include gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, transformers, and compressors. Siemens Energy’s stake in Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy makes it a global market leader in renewable energies including conventional and renewable energy technology, such as gas and steam turbines, hybrid power plants operated with hydrogen, and power generators and transformers.

"We chose to partner with Syntax because of its holistic approach to digital transformation, and its high level of expertise and extensive experience with projects related to the SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud, As an important part of our sustainable digitization strategy within the production areas, this project is of great strategic importance for Siemens Energy. Using the same systems at all production sites is the basis for notably better cooperation, protection against cybersecurity threats, and more efficient interests of the customer."

Velo3D Unlocks New 3D Printing Capabilities with Flow 5.0

Velo3D | March 01, 2023

On February 28th, 2023, Velo3D, Inc., a pioneer in metal additive manufacturing technology for mission-critical components, announced the latest version of its Flow print preparation software. Engineers utilizing Velo3D's fully integrated solution gain various new features with the release of Flow 5.0, such as the ability to assign different parameters to each part on the build plate and user-selectable core parameter sets that increase control over builds. Flow 5.0 also includes checks and messages that identify potential errors before a build starts, reducing build failures for customers. Engineers can be sure a part will successfully print before starting. The new solution can also label parts through the Flow print preparation software. Customers can easily add alphanumeric characters to uniquely identify their parts. The Label Updater tool can update characters after a print file is produced. The release also speeds up build time calculations involving components with different part quantities. After preparing a part for print, users can change the amount and see updated build times to understand scaled production economics. This accelerates OEM planning and contract manufacturer quotes. The Flow print preparation software is an essential part of Velo3D's fully integrated solution for metal additive manufacturing. The software converts traditional CAD files into print files without design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). Other elements of the solution include the Sapphire printer family, the Assure quality assurance software, and the Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process, which ensures consistent, repeatable results across multiple Sapphire printers using the same print file. About Velo3D Velo3D has developed a unique solution to the limitations of legacy metal additive manufacturing.
