Paris – SPRING Technologies, vendor of software that optimizes the use of numerical control machines, is proud to announce that its NCSIMUL CAM module has won the Innovation Trophies award at France’s INDUSTRIE 2016 trade show, in the category Digital Tools. The award acknowledges a decisive technological breakthrough.
“Programmers have been dreaming of this for 30 years; Spring has done it,” said CEO, Gilles Battier. “Of all the innovations SPRING has developed since we established the company in 1983, NCSIMUL CAM is the one I am most proud of. Customers have long been hoping to bridge the technological gap. The solution will enable them to step resolutely into the Workshop of the Future.”
Battier continued, “If the Factory 4.0 paradigm is going to help industry anywhere in the world to make the decisions that will be vital for competitive capability, there is no alternative: Factory 4.0 must be flexible and agile. NCSIMUL CAM has been developed to streamline the digital process and rethink the approach to CNC programming. We bring a concrete answer to today’s issues: a quick and easy way to manage the complexity of technology and production to optimize productivity.”
With NCSIMUL CAM, new NC machines can now be quickly integrated into the production cycle, and existing machines can be redeployed in the shop to optimize their uptime, while tool paths are reprogrammed in just a few clicks to speed up production rates across all types of NC machines.
Battier remarked, “The prize rewards our vision of the Factory of the Future and the R&D work that we have undertaken with the Centers for Competitiveness: ASTECH, EMC2, SYSTEMATIC, and VIAMECA. I’d also like to highlight our Open Innovation partnerships with major corporations: SAFRAN, AIRBUS and the FREYSSINET Aero Equipment (a small and medium company), with whom we have been working for over 5 years, helping us to develop NCSIMUL CAM and, thus, contribute to our award-winning success today.”
SPRING, (an acronym for Société de Programmation et de Recherche en Informatique Numérique et Graphique), was founded to search for programming solutions in digital and graphic IT technologies with a view to delivering these solutions to the reality of machining on the shop floor.
