Product picture galleryNews from the software sector
The IT sector is playing an increasingly important role in automation. As a result, the demand for software in companies is also increasing. Computer&AUTOMATION presents the latest product innovations in this segment in a series of pictures.
The Wscad Suite 2018 is available with new features. In the Cabinet Engineering module, for example, the 3D view has been completely revised: 3D data in STEP format from wscaduniverse.com or other portals can be assigned via item management. In addition to a photorealistic representation of the enclosure, the actual component sizes are used for the calculation and visualization of mechanical collisions, for example between the enclosure door and components in the enclosure. Another new feature is a free augmented reality app, which allows users to scan components in the enclosure using a smartphone or tablet. At the touch of a button, the corresponding plan, article data in wscaduniverse.com or the original data sheet from the manufacturer are immediately available. The app can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple App Store and Google Play. In addition, there is now a flexible license management with a loan function for the suite: users can manage their licenses via an online portal and borrow them for up to 30 days. The item search within the suite is now similar in function and 'look & feel' to that of wscaduniverse.com - users no longer have to rethink when using the two databases.
