Honeywell Acquires Ballard Unmanned Systems
Honeywell has acquired assets from privately held Ballard Unmanned Systems, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Southborough, Mass.-based Ballard Power Systems Inc. Ballard
Unmanned Systems designs and produces industry-leading, stored-hydrogen proton
exchange membrane fuel cell systems that power unmanned aerial systems (UAS),
particularly those used for energy inspection, cargo delivery, and other commercial and
defense applications where demand for UAS services is growing. Honeywell is acquiring
the key intellectual property, inventory and equipment of Ballard Unmanned Systems.
Ballard's team of fuel-cell experts will also join Honeywell as part of the acquisition.Fuel
cells function much like traditional batteries but with a key difference: They don't run out
of power or need to be recharged. A fuel cell uses the chemical energy of hydrogen or
another fuel to cleanly and efficiently produce electricity. Unmanned aerial systems
powered by fuel cells can fly longer distances, are quiet and have zero greenhouse gas
emissions.Ballard Unmanned Systems' fuel cell power systems can run up to three times
longer than batteries and are five times more reliable than small engines. Furthermore,
unlike traditional gas engines that have carbon emissions, they utilize hydrogen, a clean
source of energy.
"Adding Ballard Unmanned Systems to the Honeywell family is another example of
our commitment to invest in the growing UAS segment," said President and chief
executive officer, Honeywell Aerospace. "We can now begin producing top-quality,
scalable power systems for our UAS customers and eventually adapt these systems
for other future aerospace, defense and adjacent segment applications."

Airbiquity Launches OTAmatic Vehicle Configurator To Help Automakers
Manage Connected Vehicle Software
4
Solution Description
Airbiquity®, the global leader of connected vehicle services, launched its OTAmatic® Vehicle Configurator, a tool for defining and managing connected vehicle software. The OTAmatic Vehicle Configurator
gives automakers insight into the exact hardware and software configurations within a vehicle, manage known combinations of electronic control units (ECUs) and software versions in vehicles, and meet
emerging government compliance requirements for type certified vehicle systems. In recent years, the number of vehicle ECUs receiving software updates via over-the-air (OTA) technology has been steadily
increasing, making it difficult for automakers to track and manage software configurations across their fleets. As these ECUs receive OTA software updates over time, different software permutations will appear
in the field as not all vehicles will be updated at the same time. This results in a multitude of software combinations which need to be tracked and managed by the automaker for vehicle maintenance and
regulatory compliance. The OTAmatic Vehicle Configurator gives automakers the power to address these issues and better control the software configurations in their vehicles. The OTAmatic Vehicle
Configurator:
• Deploys software only in approved combinations. Minimizes unanticipated issues by ensuring software contained in tens to hundreds of independent ECUs in a vehicle are limited to prevalidated
configurations tested and approved by automakers.
• Provides a breakdown of vehicles in the field. Reports the exact version of software and hardware installed in vehicles so automakers can understand the state of their vehicle fleets.
• Displays a history of vehicle configurations. Allows automakers to compare configurations for vehicle lines or individual vehicles to understand changes over time.
• Works with Airbiquity’sOTAmatic software management system. Configuration candidates can automatically be created from factory feeds of newly manufactured vehicles or by importing Bill of Materials
(BOMs) using a web-based tool, then provided to automakers for review and approval. Configurations can also be provided for review when a vehicle reports a new combination from the field.
• Works with non-Airbiquity OTA software management systems. Existing OTA systems can be enhanced by Vehicle Configurator integration using supplied APIs.
• Enables regulatory compliance for tracking type certified vehicle systems. Allows automakers to record the software (RXSWIN) associated with the type certification of a vehicle system and supports
UNECE (WP.29) requirements for tracking software updates.

3D Systems Delivers New Innovation for its VSP® System – Receives
510(k) Clearance for Improved Patient-Matched Surgical Guidance
9
3D Systemsinventor of 3D Printing and creator of Virtual Surgical Planning for craniomaxillofacial (CMF) applications - is announcing that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
has provided 510(k) clearance for maxillofacial surgical guides 3D printed using its LaserForm® Ti and DuraForm® ProX PA materials. The new clearance allows for more innovative
surgical guide designs that improve performance and is the latest delivery on 3D Systems’ customer-centric approach to address the needs of surgeons performing maxillofacial and
reconstructive surgeries. 3D Systems’ surgical guides produced using these materials as part of its VSP® System offer unprecedented flexibility in design options, and are capable of
having lower profile designs to enhance visibility and access in the surgical site, while also possessing improved strength and rigidity. Creating patient-specific surgical guides as part
of the VSP System has been shown to save surgeons and patients hours in the operating room. As a pioneer in the personalized medicine space, 3D Systems’VSP technology received
FDA market clearance as a service-based approach to personalized surgery, combining expertise in medical imaging, surgical simulation, and 3D printing. The surgeon initiates the
process, bringing their clinical knowledge and desired surgical plan to an online web meeting with a 3D Systems biomedical engineer to simulate and plan the surgical procedure. The
outcome is a digital plan that is transferred to the operating room via accurate 3D printed patient-specific models, guides, and templates. 3D Systems has provided VSP solutions or
anatomical services in more than 120,000 unique patient cases.3D System’s new material options allow for innovative surgical guide designs that improve performance in surgery. It
is now possible to design surgical guides with less overall material bulk while improving strength and durability. Mechanical testing shows that Titanium cutting and marking guides
produced in LaserFormTi are 20x stronger than traditional guides.4 With the improvement in strength, Titanium fibula cutting guides can be 70% thinner than traditional guides –
facilitating improved access to the surgical site. Similarly, Nylon marking guides produced in DuraFormProX PA exhibit up to 88% higher toughness 4 – rendering them better able to
withstand forces applied during surgery. This enables the creation of thinner guides than previously possible and facilitates a close, snap-like, fit to patient anatomy that cannot be
achieved in the traditional material.

GE Digital OPM for Power Generation Provides Modular, Interoperable
Performance Optimization Tools for a Changing Industry
10
GE Digital introduced its Operations Performance Management (OPM) solution for Power Generators. This robust three-module solution increases revenue and margins
by coupling Process Digital Twin technology based on first principles (physics-based modelling), AI, and advanced machine learning, with cutting-edge modelling and
analytics and edge control, enabling optimized power plant performance across a generation fleet.OPM improves the performance of plants, sites, and generation
portfolios by consolidating data into a coherent single source of truth available to users across the organization, from the plant to headquarters. It also ties in historical
context and economic impact with expanded operational capability to drive actionable insights and decision support. This information is used to monitor and diagnose
performance issues, identify areas of improvement, and predict capacity and its cost, to improve day ahead and intraday planning. The resulting guidance and executable
advice drive desired outcomes for improved efficiency, flexibility, capacity, and emissions.Due to renewables and a global focus on emissions reduction, thermal plants
cycle more often and are online less, shrinking the window of generating opportunity. These new operating modes mean that generators increasingly need tools that
enable flexible operations, leverage machine learning and AI technologies, support process automation, and support accurate, timely dispatch. With a connected UX from
plant to trading floor, traders, dispatch planners, and commercial teams can have accurate and timely information on plant-specific capabilities and costs, and as a result,
optimize their market offers and dispatch decisions to manage risk and uncertainty, while increasing margins and profit.With better monitoring, diagnostics and guidance,
generators can ensure performance is maintained to minimize costs and improve output. They can apply models and analytics at the plant and asset level to open operating
boundaries and optimize operations. They can bring individual plant capabilities to the forefront of the decision-makers – traders and dispatchers – in a way that presents
advice, rather than just data, in real time and contextualized for the role and decision that needs to be made.

GE Digital Visual Intelligence Platform Offers Best-in-Class Vegetation
Management and Asset Inspection
11
GE Digital introduced a purpose-built Visual Intelligence Platform for utilities. The SaaS solution is designed to ingest all forms of visual inspection data and executes
workflows and automated analysis which contextualizes data into Digital Twins of the network and environment. The Digital Twin generates business intelligence that
is consumable, shareable, and actionable to drive an expected 27% cost savings versus current practices. Global T&D utilities spend millions of dollars per year on
vegetation management and asset inspection programs to reduce outages, increase compliance, improve safety, and reduce the probably of catastrophic events such as
wildfires or major regional outages.Traditional approaches to Asset Inspection and Vegetation Management are slow and often based on Fixed Annual Cycles. Trees that
are too close to power lines are a significant hazard and a major cause of power failures during high winds and storms. In dry weather conditions, branches touching the
lines can catch fire, endangering human life, causing tremendous damage to the environment and existing infrastructures and putting utilities liability at risk. Visual
inspections generate large amounts of data which are often reviewed manually, which is labor and time expensive. Measuring electrical corridors, trees, incursions, and
clearances with LiDAR mounted on helicopters or similar is standard industry practice, but how do you turn this data into insights to improve reliability and safety with
less cost? New remote sensing technology, surveying methods, and AI-enabled data management solutions are available which offer utilities a clear upgrade path from
their legacy inspection and risk management programs.One European DSO wanted to reduce the cost of helicopter / on-land inspections while increasing precision and
frequency of inspections for overhead distribution lines. The Visual Intelligence solution automated the inspection process by generating a Network Digital Twin,
detecting vegetation encroachment risks and providing predictive pruning strategies and accurate asset defect detection.

dSPACE Introduces High-Fidelity Vehicle Dynamics Simulation on NVIDIA
DRIVE Sim
18
When it comes to autonomous vehicle simulation testing, every detail must be on point. With its high-fidelity automotive simulation model (ASM) on
NVIDIA DRIVE Sim, global automotive supplier dSPACE is helping developers keep virtual self-driving true to the real world. By combining the
modularity and openness of the DRIVE Sim simulation software platform with highly accurate vehicle models like dSPACE’s, every minor aspect of an AV
can be thoroughly recreated, tested and validated. The dSPACE ASM vehicle dynamics model makes it possible to simulate elements of the car —
suspension, tires, brakes — all the way to the full vehicle powertrain and its interaction with the electronic control units that power actions such as steering,
braking and acceleration. As the world continues to work from home, simulation has become an even more crucial tool in autonomous vehicle development.
However, to be effective, it must be able to translate to real-world driving. dSPACE’smodeling capabilities are key to understanding vehicle behavior in
diverse conditions, enabling the exhaustive and high-fidelity testing required for safe self-driving deployment.High-fidelity simulation is more than just a
realistic-looking car driving in a recreated traffic scenario. It means in any given situation, the simulated vehicle will behave just as a real vehicle driving in
the real world would.If an autonomous vehicle suddenly brakes on a wet road, there are a range of forces that affect how and where the vehicle stops. It could
slide further than intended or fishtail, depending on the weather and road conditions. These possibilities require the ability to simulate dynamics such as
friction and yaw, or the way the vehicle moves vertically.

NVIDIAAnnounces Cloud-AI Video-Streaming Platform to Better Connect
Millions Working and Studying Remotely
24
NVIDIA announced the NVIDIA Maxine platform, which provides developers with a cloud-based suite of GPU-accelerated AI video conferencing software to
enhance streaming video — the internet’s No. 1 source of traffic. NVIDIA Maxine is a cloud-native streaming video AI platform that makes it possible for service
providers to bring new AI-powered capabilities to the more than 30 million web meetings estimated to take place every day. Video conference service providers
running the platform on NVIDIA GPUs in the cloud can offer users new AI effects -- including gaze correction, super-resolution, noise cancellation, face relighting
and more. Because the data is processed in the cloud rather than on local devices, end users can enjoy the new features without any specialized hardware.The
NVIDIA Maxine platform dramatically reduces how much bandwidth is required for video calls. Instead of streaming the entire screen of pixels, the AI software
analyzes the key facial points of each person on a call and then intelligently re-animates the face in the video on the other side. This makes it possible to stream
video with far less data flowing back and forth across the internet.Using this new AI-based video compression technology running on NVIDIA GPUs, developers
can reduce video bandwidth consumption down to one-tenth of the requirements of the H.264 streaming video compression standard. This cuts costs for providers
and delivers a smoother video conferencing experience for end users, who can enjoy more AI-powered services while streaming less data on their computers,
tablets and phones.For example, face alignment enables faces to be automatically adjusted so that people appear to be facing each other during a call, while gaze
correction helps simulate eye contact, even if the camera isn’t aligned with the user’s screen. With video conferencing growing by 10x since the beginning of the
year, these features help people stay engaged in the conversation rather than looking at their camera.

Kongsberg Maritime To Deliver Integrated Propulsion And Manoeuvring
Systems For Two 230m Ropax Vessels
44
Kongsberg Maritime is pleased to reveal that it has signed a contract with China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (Weihai) to deliver a propulsion and
manoeuvring system for two 230m roll-on, roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessels for Finnlines. Currently under construction at Weihai and expected
to be delivered for deployment in the Baltic Sea by 2023, the ships will each have capacity for 1,212 passengers and are specified with a focus on
sustainable technologies and green operation.Worth in excess of EUR 12 million, the contract will see the system fitted to Finnlines’ flagship
Superstar RoPax vessels. The ships will be built to the highest Swedish/Finnish ice class (1A Super), with a twin shaft line propulsion system
powered by four main engines. Kongsberg Maritime have proposed a system whereby the ships will be able to run two efficiency/speed profiles:
16 knots with two engines running, or 19 knots with four engines running. This capability is enabled via an innovative two-speed gearbox solution,
delivering a propulsion efficiency increase of about 3% compared with a single-speed gearbox.Efficiency is further boosted through the use of
KONGSBERG’s Controllable Pitch Propellers (CPPs). With the propeller and rudder integrated into a single system, hydrodynamic performance
is optimised, thrust is increased and drag is reduced, with a consequent reduction in emissions. Combined with a ‘twisted’ rudder design that
further improves manoeuvrability, twin-screw vessels can be expected to achieve efficiencygains of up to 6%.

applications including SAP Business Suite 7/SAP ECC 6.0, Business Warehouse and Business Objects. MWRD stepped off the vendor’s upgrade cycle and can now receive
Rimini Street’s ultra-responsive, premium-level support for a minimum of 15 years from the time that it switched providers, without having to upgrade just to stay fully
supported. MWRD realized significant savings by switching to Rimini Street Support and avoiding a costly, complex and risky upgrade to S/4HANA, and was able to invest
the savings in an IT modernization initiative across the organization, which included a new IT service management solution (ITSM).A utility company with more than 2,000
employees, the MWRD serves more than 10 million customers in the greater Chicago area with residential wastewater treatment and stormwater management. Tasked with
revitalizing an aging and deeply entrenched IT environment, MWRD’s director of IT set out to completely transform the organization’s IT landscape, starting with a
comprehensive inventory of the company’s IT infrastructure. As part of this thorough evaluation process, it became apparent that the company was underutilizing its SAP
applications by about 75%, and that their SAP support costs consumed more than a quarter of its multimillion-dollar software maintenance budget.In addition, feedback from
the internal IT team pointed to a lack of vendor support responsiveness. With these discoveries, the company initially investigated realigning SAP support to the realities of

Launched in February 2020, the AMPLI project simulation, supported by the EIT Manufacturing and reuniting a consortium of five partners – ESI Group, coordinator of the
project, Whirlpool, IPC (Innovation Plasturgie Composites), ENSAM and LMS (Laboratory for Manufacturing Systems & Automation) – will combine advantages of
simulation and augmented reality to provide manufacturing workers with real-time knowledge and information. The project will bring an important step forward the digital
transformation of European factories. The plastics industry has already introduced enabling technologies to achieve zero-defect manufacturing and improve work cells
flexibility such as in-mold sensors, in-line quality control, autonomous devices or predictive models. Augmented Reality (AR) offers new ways to interact not only with
machines but also with manufacturing and product models. However, for further adoption, existing AR tools are still not specific enough to be relevant and need to offer
dedicated platforms regarding each industrial domain. The objective of the AMPLI project is to provide machine operators with real-time knowledge and information to
improve decision-making and working procedures thanks to the development of an AR tool dedicated to the manufacturing value chain of polymer forming process. The AR
tool will be based on the combination of plastic domain-based knowledge (from tuning, production and maintenance) and the integration of numerical simulation.
AMPLI project approach is to embed and enable physically realistic virtual objects in a real environment to be interactive. It is based on the improvement of AR mechanisms
and usability through:
• embedded process simulation results thanks to reduced order model
• customized plastic and composite processing interface by mixing measured information coming from the manufacturing work cell and information coming from models

Honeywell And Wolters Kluwer Team Up To Help Employees Safely Return
To The Workplace
60
Honeywell and Wolters Kluwer announced a collaboration to integrate Honeywell's Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) connected devices and safety software with the risk and environmental, health
and safety (EHS) software from Enablon, a Wolters Kluwer business. The collaboration is designed to enable enterprises in asset-intensive industries to improve their risk, safety and operational
excellence programs. The collaboration enables customers to monitor their EHS performance, receive early warnings about issues from their Honeywell equipment and take proactive steps to help
prevent incidents and improve safety compliance.Given the heightened uncertainty of today's business environment, companies have an urgent need for a more holistic, integrated, enterprise platform
to operationalize real-time data collected from human and machine input. By leveraging this data, companies can use actionable intelligence through the integration of technologies to mitigate safety
risk and remain compliant with regulations.
Scenario – How it could work in today's environment:
• Before visiting the facility, Honeywell's Digitized Workforce Management software provides an electronic questionnaire which, when complete, provides an access code and time of arrival to
reduce the need for transfer of paper documents and improve social distancing.
• At the entryway, the connected safety software solutions allow Honeywell's artificial intelligence-driven elevated body temperature monitoring solutions to conduct non-invasive, preliminary
screenings of personnel entering a facility.
• The system also detects if individuals are wearing the required personal protective equipment needed for entering the building and if they are doing so properly, in compliance with safety
regulations.
• These data points and other manual data points are then reported to the Enablon EHS software.
• Through a dashboard view, management can monitor workers to ensure that they remain compliant with rapidly changing health and safety regulations. The EHS solution also allows frontline
operations employees to carry out measurements, checks and recordings directly in the field, without the need to walk back and forth to a control room.

Honeywell Teams Up With Microsoft To Reshape The Industrial Workplace
61
Honeywell and Microsoft announced that Honeywell will bring to market its domain-specific applications built on the Microsoft cloud platform to drive new levels
of productivity for industrial clients. With the integration of the AI-driven autonomous controls of the Honeywell Forge enterprise performance management
software with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service, customers will be able to access operating data that includes workflow management support to improve
performance and energy efficiency within the enterprise environment. Workers in the field will benefit from real-time access to critical data that will help them
prioritize, analyze and solve problems more quickly. The first area of focus will be in automating maintenance for building owners and operators. To optimize their
buildings' energy, performance and comfort, they often need to pull data from a variety of sources that are not normalized and inform remote and dispersed
workforces. Facility managers must determine what problem to fix, when to fix it and who to assign to the job, which can be very difficult without having the
necessary asset know-how and work order management capability.Honeywell Forge delivers cost savings, improved energy efficiency and a better occupant
experience to customers. For example, at Crown Towers Perth in Australia, the Honeywell Forge Digitized Maintenance solution provided faster inputs on
potential maintenance issues versus traditional annual maintenance schedules and helped reduce reactive work orders by 90%.Dynamics 365 Field Service allows
companies to remotely detect and address potential issues early to avoid unnecessary downtime or operational inefficiencies by analyzing IoT data and to improve
proactive service offerings through AI-infused IoT alerts and work orders. Leveraging the global scale of Microsoft's cloud will enable Honeywell to quickly bring
new offerings to market while helping customers meet regional security, privacy and compliance requirements.
