About The Customer
Mohyi Labs is an innovative company that aims to push the boundaries of drone technology. The company is known for its ambitious projects, such as the development of a Bladeless Drone, which utilizes Ducted Counter-Vortex Radial Impeller Propulsion technology. This technology is a testament to Mohyi Labs' commitment to pioneering new solutions in the drone industry. The company's CEO and Bladeless Drone Inventor, John Mohyi, is a visionary leader who recognizes the importance of advanced tools and technologies in achieving precision engineering. Despite the challenges faced in the development process, Mohyi Labs remains dedicated to its mission of revolutionizing drone technology.
The Challenge
Mohyi Labs, a pioneering company in the field of drone technology, faced significant challenges in the development of their Bladeless Drone. The company was working on a novel Ducted Counter-Vortex Radial Impeller Propulsion technology, but the design optimization process was proving to be a major hurdle. Prior to the involvement of ANSYS, the process required a considerable degree of detective work, relying heavily on indirect methods to deduce the characteristics of the invisible forces at work. While this approach was successful in the early stages, it was time-consuming, significantly increased the difficulty level, and escalated development costs. Mohyi Labs recognized the need for advanced physics simulations to achieve the level of precision engineering required for their project. However, these advanced simulations were, until recently, exclusive to large corporations, academic, and military users.
The Solution
ANSYS, through its startup accelerator program, provided Mohyi Labs with both the tools and technical support to unlock the power of the world's most advanced simulation tools. The ANSYS simulation tools, particularly the CFX turbomachinery module, allowed Mohyi Labs to directly observe and measure how well their counter-vortex geometry influenced the airflow, eliminating the guesswork in their design iteration process. This partnership with ANSYS not only provided Mohyi Labs with the necessary tools but also gave them more freedom to experiment. They were able to run through multiple design iterations in a fraction of the time and effort it previously took to print and assemble a single prototype.

Smart Water Filtration Systems
Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
