About The Customer
ZT InnovationsTM is a motor control consulting firm with over 45 years of experience in motor control and inverter design. They offer unmatched expertise in their field, designing not only algorithms but also software and hardware platforms. The firm prides itself on its passion for motor control design and the unique solutions it provides for various industries, including electric bikes, medical drills, drones, compressors, and more. Whether it's a new system design, optimizing existing components, or dealing with complex nonlinear design scenarios, ZT Innovations is committed to helping its clients get their motors running.
The Challenge
ZT Innovations, a motor control consulting firm with over 45 years of experience, faced a significant challenge in maintaining their reputation for delivering high-quality results in a short amount of time. The firm's business primarily came from repeat customers and referrals, making their reputation crucial. However, they found that the software tools available in the market were not providing a comprehensive solution for their needs. The firm had to use multiple tools for different steps in the process, which led to a sequential and time-consuming workflow. The tools they used required substantial simulation time to accurately represent the physical system, further extending the time to completion for their clients.
The Solution
ZT Innovations adopted Altair® PSIM™, a renowned solution in the industry for the simulation of motor controls, microgrids, and power supplies. PSIM provided a complete solution for ZT Innovations, enabling them to run a full system simulation in a single step, as opposed to the linear process they were previously accustomed to. This significantly reduced their simulation time. Moreover, PSIM allowed ZT Innovations to offer a more comprehensive solution to their clients, adding value to their services. The full system simulation capabilities of PSIM enabled ZT Innovations to be a full-service provider in their specialty of motor control design. The firm was confident that a simulation in PSIM realistically represented the actual system, enhancing their service quality and efficiency.
Operational Impact
  • The adoption of PSIM transformed ZT Innovations' workflow from physical testing and fine-tuning on the bench to a more efficient and scientific process. The firm was able to streamline its operations, reducing the time taken for each step in the process by working within a single tool. This not only improved their operational efficiency but also enhanced the quality of their services. The full system simulation capabilities of PSIM allowed ZT Innovations to offer a more comprehensive solution to their clients, thereby adding value to their services and strengthening their reputation in the industry.
Quantitative Benefit
  • ZT Innovations can now run a full system simulation in less than one minute of processing time.
  • Significant time savings were achieved on the design side due to the ability to work within a single tool for each step in the process.
