pcds_conda
pcds_conda version pcds-5.7.0 has been released! Full release notes here: PCDS Conda Release Notes: pcds-5.7.0
We're preparing for a migration to python 3.10 and pyqt 5.15 within the next few months. This is for both performance and security reasons, as fewer and fewer new package versions support old builds of pyqt and of python.

NALMS
The NALMS project has made significant strides in recent months, but the team faced some technical difficulties during the final phase of development. While the NALMS deployment in S3DF Kubernetes is almost complete, there are still some communication issues that need to be resolved. To track these issues, the team has created an epic ticket on Jira that outlines the remaining tasks that need to be completed in the coming weeks to achieve a full deployment.
Despite these challenges, the project has reached a prototype stage where it is ready for use, and the team is eager to receive feedback from users.
A recent demonstration with major users Bill and Stefan, for Vacuum and GMD and XGMD fields was successfully completed.
If you're interested in trying out NALMS, there is a dedicated web page for installation.
You can find more information about NALMS on Confluence, including a description of what NALMS is and how NALMS workflow works. The team is committed to delivering NALMS in the next weeks.

EPLAN and Teamcenter
We're planning to integrate Teamcenter PLM and EPLAN. This integration will bring several advantages, such as improved efficiency by automatically reflecting changes made in EPLAN to Teamcenter, better part tracking through Teamcenter's BOM, improved lifecycle management with a complete view of history provided by Teamcenter, and enhanced document control through specific repositories and tags.
Furthermore, Teamcenter offers a document control that will check all the blocks (check, revision, approval) and then release the drawing in order to have always a complete ad update version. Moreover, after the release, only an official revision can modify the drawing, ensuring consistency of updates.
The Teamcenter admins will ensure that the integration module is updated with EPLAN to maintain compatibility and optimize system performance.
To properly manage Teamcenter content, several tutorials accessible with a Teamcenter license. We'll start getting familiar with the software soon.
Several meetings are scheduled to present the last version of Teamcenter to the ECS group and to start integrating Teamcenter and EPLAN.
