| Next Steps in Artificial Intelligence |
Representatives from Mercedes, Siemens, Beckhoff, Arburg, Hawe, KSB and Sick, among others, spent three days this summer discussing the relationship between humanoids and AI, the revival of reinforcement learning and AI utilization. As AI implementation becomes easier for manufacturers, the focus is evolving to address challenges and new opportunities across the entire industrial sector.

| Streamlining Drivetrain Design |
KISSsoft System Module allows intuitive concept design on a system level. In addition to the elementary components, complete gearboxes can now be designed in a separate module. The focus lies on fast concept building and fast calculations of complex kinematics. This is of benefit particularly in the initial phase of a project, when an engineer needs to be able to roughly model different variants of possible solutions to compare critical criteria.

| KISSsoft Design Software Release 2025 |
KISSsoft Gear Design Software is used in various industries, including electric vehicles, wind power, agriculture, marine, robotics, aerospace, and many others. Thanks to the synergies within the Gleason group, numerous features along the Design – Manufacturing – Measure initiative will be added to KISSsoft. Currently, the KISSsoft “Rollout” function calculates and visualizes cylindrical gear geometry, tolerances, and machining effects, ensuring proper meshing and form diameter evaluation. The new “Hobbing” function estimates cutting times, tool wear, and hobbing costs, providing a detailed process and interference analysis. KISSsoft supports gear designs combining efficiency and durability with low manufacturing costs!
