Inside this issue

Connecting the Thread: 5G

5G wireless may bring benefits to cloud-based CAD, IoT, simulation and digital twins.

Connecting the Thread: Digital Twins

A factory floor digital twin can deliver insights to design engineers, but it takes some legwork to create a closed loop workflow between manufacturing and engineering.

Connecting the Thread: IoT

Commercial sector of IoT can use some templates for implementation, but most designers delve into unknown territory.

Striving for Zero

Reducing, or even eliminating, the use of physical prototypes can yield tremendous benefits. The question is: How do you proceed?

AR Added to Driverless Car Testing

Researchers make the case for a hybrid autonomous vehicle test process that combines simulated vehicles and traffic scenarios with real-world test drives.
