Easily upload, share and manage projects in the cloud

The digital transformation of engineering continues to advance. As part of its cloud services, EPLAN is presenting a service for cross-project collaboration – EPLAN eManage – which lets users upload EPLAN Platform projects into the cloud environment to share and work on them there. Uploads go into the secure ePulse cloud environment. The ee version was launched mid-March – and an expanded, paid version will follow in August 2021.

The EPLAN Platform systems in connection with this cloud service will network control cabinet manufacturers and panel builders, OEMs and system integrators as well as machine and plant system operators. They all work together on a central project that can be synchronized on the EPLAN Platform via eManage in roundtrip engineering. Clear access rights and role assignments ensure data security and provide fl exibility for project access. Users only need one click to publish their project data directly in EPLAN eView. This allows defi ned users the opportunity to look and comment on entire projects. It further enables cross-company review processes to be digitally implemented. eManage supports project participants in quickly searching for specifi c content. EPLAN Projects are synchronized for all project participants and stakeholders. Changes in the project are visible to all participants and the project documentation is always current – across the entire project life cycle and even into operations and service scenarios. DW

High Flow, Low Power, Low Leakage

Across an Extensive Cycle Life

The Lee Company is excited to announce a new generation of versatile and innovative 3-port solenoid valves. In a miniature 10mm package, the genvi® solenoid valve platform features high flow capacity, low leakage and ultra-low power consumption. Designed using innovative manufacturing techniques, this new valve offers not only unmatched reliability, but also an economical price point suitable for molecular diagnostics, respiratory therapy, compression therapy, environmental analyzers, breath analysis and other applications where performance and reliability are paramount.

When designing portable or stationary instruments, OEMs are often challenged with meeting aggressive size, power, and weight limitations, all without sacrificing the remaining elements of system-level performance. Each subcomponent is therefore pushed to offer improved performance within a smaller footprint.

Featuring high flow and low power consumption, genvi solenoid valves are the solution. An extremely tight leakage rating reduces compressor demand and further underscores the valve’s ability to provide consistent long-term operation across an extensive cycle life. Custom valve solutions, supported by The Lee Company’s engineering experience in microfluidics, are also available to meet specific application requirements.

NVIDIA launches Omniverse Design Collaboration and Simulation Platform

NVIDIA announced the coming general availability of NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise, a technology platform that enables global 3D design teams working across multiple so ware suites to collaborate in real time in a shared virtual space. NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise makes it possible for 3D production teams, which are o en geographically dispersed, to work seamlessly together on complex projects. Rather than requiring in-person meetings or exchanging and iterating on massive fi les, designers, artists and reviewers can work simultaneously in a virtual world om anywhere, on any device. NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise has been in early evaluations with design teams at companies like BMW Group, Foster + Partners, and WPP. It follows the launch three months ago of an open beta for individuals. Said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, “Building on NVIDIA’s entire body of work, Omniverse lets us create and simulate shared virtual 3D worlds that obey the laws of physics.

The immediate applications of Omniverse include connecting design teams for remote collaboration to simulating digital twins of factories and robots.” Omniverse Enterprise includes the NVIDIA Omniverse Nucleus server, which manages the database shared among clients, and NVIDIA Omniverse Connectors, which are plug-ins to industry-leading design applications. It also includes two end-user applications: NVIDIA Omniverse Create , which accelerates scene composition and allows users in real time to interactively assemble, light, simulate, and render scenes, and NVIDIA Omniverse View, which powers seamless collaborative design and visualization of architectural and engineering projects with photorealistic rendering. NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation (vWS) so ware, also part of the platform, gives collaborators the eedom to run their graphics- intensive 3D applications om anywhere. Omniverse Enterprise is tested and optimized for professionals to run on NVIDIA RTX laptops and desktops, and NVIDIA-Certifi ed Systems on the NVIDIA EGX platform. This makes it possible to deploy the tool across organizations of any scale, om small workgroups using local desktops and laptops, to globally distributed teams accessing the data center using various devices. NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise so ware is available on a subscription basis and includes NVIDIA’s Enterprise support services. NVIDIA’s partner network of leading computer makers -- including ASUS, BOXX Technologies, Cisco, Dell Technologies, HP, Lenovo and Supermicro -- are supporting NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise. DW
