Immersive engineering
In collaboration with the Sony Corporation , Siemens is also delivering a new solution for immersive engineering that brings together Siemens NX software for product engineering with a breakthrough head-mounted display from Sony to enable content creation for the industrial metaverse .
Now available for pre-order and shipping beginning in February , Siemens ’ new Immersive Engineering toolset brings the power of mixed reality to the product engineering and manufacturing community , enabling high-fidelity mixed reality and 3D-focused collaboration .
“ In the era of digital twins , Siemens and Sony have collaborated closely to bring NX Immersive Designer to market . With 4K OLED Microdisplays , intuitive controls and the comfortable design , closely integrated with Siemens ’ advanced software , we firmly believe this new immersive engineering solution will pave the way for the future of engineering .” said Seiya Amatatsu , Incubation Center , XR Technology Development Division , Sony Corporation .
Designcenter for product engineering
Koerte was joined on stage at CES by Tony Hemmelgarn , President and CEO , Siemens Digital Industries Software , to unveil Siemens ’ new Designcenter software suite . This brings together its portfolio of design and engineering software including Solid Edge and NX software in one unified offering so that companies of any size can design and collaborate using the Parasolid modelling kernel .
“ A lot of companies make their design software available to small businesses or to the very largest enterprises . Designcenter is unique in that it is truly open and accessible for everyone — companies of every size can scale with the same solution set , their data in the same format — without interruption ,” said Hemmelgarn .

Microscope and measurement machine
ZEISS has expanded its portfolio in optical and tactile measurement technology with the introduction of ZEISS O-INSPECT duo . This solution combines precise measurement technology with highresolution microscopic inspection , enabling the examination of both large and small components in a single device .
“ ZEISS O-INSPECT duo is aimed at quality laboratories and companies that demand the highest standards for the inspection and measurement of components . It combines efficiency , flexibility and precision to meet the increasing demands of modern production processes . It has been specifically designed for the measurement and inspection of complex components ( from large workpieces , such as circuit boards and fuel cells , to smaller components ). Thanks to the integration of a highresolution microscope , it is now possible to inspect large components without cutting them . This saves valuable resources and allows for faster and errorfree processing of measurement data ,” said ZEISS .
A significant benefit is the combination of optical and tactile measurement technology . Non-contact sensor technology enables the measurement of sensitive components for precision results . For tactile 3D measurement , the ZEISS VAST XXT sensor is available , which captures various measurement points in scanning mode at high speed .
ZEISS O-INSPECT duo also features an adjustable ring light and a five-megapixel
colour camera to make even small defects visible . The platform is compatible with ZEISS CALYPSO software for measurement applications and ZEISS ZEN core for microscopic analyses .
“ With the integrated pallet system , measurements and inspections can be prepared and then carried out easily and ergonomically on the system . The optional vibration isolation ensures high precision , even in environments with floor vibrations ,” added ZEISS .
ZEISS Industrial Quality Solutions is a leading manufacturer of multi-dimensional metrology solutions . These include coordinate measuring machines , optical and multi-sensor systems , microscopy systems for industrial quality assurance as well as metrology software for the automotive , aircraft , mechanical engineering , plastics and medical technology industries . Technologies such as 3D X-ray metrology for quality inspection round off its portfolio . n
