SPRING Technologies has joined Panasonic's Toughbook Engage Partnership Program as an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner.
"SPRING Technologies recently launched its new NCSIMUL SOLUTIONS range, supporting the whole of the 'smart' NC manufacturing process with improved integration, intelligence and instrumentation," said a company spokesperson. "This new experience, called NCEXPERIENCE, is dedicated to NC programmers and operators and pushes the envelope, not only for NC simulation tools but also by offering manufacturers a new way to manage their NC machines and manufacturing lifestyle."
"Via this partnership, combining new generations of hardware and software, operators on the shop floor can now access realistic 3D machine tool simulation, tool libraries and documentation (work sheets, etc.) from a robust, ergonomic touch tablet for complete operational freedom," said Solen Carreau, Regional Marketing Manager, Panasonic CPS.
"SPRING Technologies' flagship products, NCSIMUL Machine and NCSIMUL Player, are implemented on Panasonic's Toughpad FZ-G1, its first fully-rugged professional tablet, running Windows 8 Pro, with a screen that can be read in full sunlight due to Panasonic's proprietary IPS technology," said the spokesperson. "Capabilities such as multi-touch screen with 10 simultaneous detection points, stylus pen and configurable ports make this Toughpad easy to use and ideal in the field. With its wide range of connectivity options, data will always be readily available. The Toughpad FZ-G1 meets the MIL-STD-810G and IP65 standards and can run for eight or 16 hours, depending on users' choice of battery option, and is dust, oil and water-resistant."
"The partnership provides the link we needed to democratize our NCEXPERIENCE vision from process planning right through to the workshop," said Philippe Solignac, Corporate Marketing Director, SPRING Technologies. "The Toughpad FZ-G1 in the Windows 8 Pro environment delivers a seamless link between the virtual and real machine worlds, enabling SPRING Technologies to execute its strategy of 'ultra-mobility in the workshop' with greater operator independence, access to state-of-the-art software and hardware technologies to increase productivity."
