About The Customer
Scuderia Mensa is a Formula Student racing team from RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in Germany. The team has been participating in the international Formula Student competition since 2006, designing and building racing cars. The team is managed by Viola Mc Kearney, who is responsible for the implementation, administration, and financing of the project. The team's goal is to build a car that can compete against other teams in Formula Student competitions all over the world. To achieve this goal, the team relies on the support of partners, such as Bricsys and MERViSOFT.
The Challenge
Scuderia Mensa, a Formula Student racing team from RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in Germany, has been building racing cars for the international Formula Student competition since 2006. The team's challenge was to design the Monocoque for its 2020 racing car. The design process required a tool that was simple and intuitive to use, given the complexity of the project. The team also needed to ensure that the tool could be easily adopted by the students, who were balancing their studies with their participation in the Formula Student program. Furthermore, the team was reliant on the support of partners to construct its vehicle, adding another layer of complexity to the project.
The Solution
In 2020, Scuderia Mensa partnered with Bricsys to use BricsCAD® Mechanical for the design of car parts. BricsCAD® Mechanical was found to be a simple and intuitive tool for the team's project. To facilitate the adoption of the software, MERViSOFT, the local Bricsys partner, offered the students the opportunity to participate in a BricsCAD training course. This training was crucial for the team, as it allowed them to develop their skills in programs outside of their studies. The training ensured that the adoption of the software was quick and easy, allowing the team to focus on the design and construction of the car.

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).

Monitoring of Pressure Pumps in Automotive Industry
A large German/American producer of auto parts uses high-pressure pumps to deburr machined parts as a part of its production and quality check process. They decided to monitor these pumps to make sure they work properly and that they can see any indications leading to a potential failure before it affects their process.
