SOUL OLPS User Meeting at the Broetje-Automation headquarters in Rastede, Germany

SOUL OLPS User Meeting 2025: More productivity and quality in NC programming and simulation

Putting the customer at the centre – that is the idea behind the annual SOUL OLPS user meeting at Broetje-Automation. From 19 to 21 March, this year’s SOUL OLPS user meeting took place at the company’s headquarters in Rastede. The annual event is a valuable opportunity for in-depth discussions on current challenges and best practices in NC programming and simulation. In addition to sharing best practices, new features for the leading offline NC programming system were presented, including integration with the latest “3D Experience Platform” and the realisation of a comprehensive digital twin of machine, process and component.
