关于客户
GrafTech International is a global leader in the production of carbon and graphite products, serving a wide range of industrial applications. The company operates through its Advanced Energy Technologies (AET) subsidiary, which focuses on innovation and technology. GrafTech's products are essential in various industries, including automotive, equipment and machinery, and more. The company is known for its commitment to quality and innovation, leveraging advanced technologies to meet the evolving needs of its customers. With a workforce of over 1,000 employees, GrafTech is dedicated to enhancing its sales processes and building stronger relationships with its customers through the deployment of cutting-edge simulation apps.
挑战
Rick Beyerle, a senior scientist at GrafTech's Advanced Energy Technologies (AET) subsidiary, identified a significant challenge in the sales process of their carbon and graphite products. The sales team needed to build trust with prospective customers, often requiring a 'proof of concept' to establish credibility. However, creating these proofs of concept was resource-intensive, requiring Rick and his team to divert R&D resources to modify and rerun validated models for each customer's specific configuration. The sales team, untrained in numerical modeling, found it difficult to navigate the complex models, which featured hundreds of parameters and boundary conditions. This situation led to inefficiencies and delays, as the application engineers were instructed to prioritize live tests over time-consuming simulations.
解决方案
To address the challenge, Rick and his team at GrafTech developed a user-friendly simulation app called 'SpreaderCalc' using the Application Builder available in the COMSOL Multiphysics software. This app allows sales engineers and field specialists to predict the performance of various virtual prototypes before testing costly physical prototypes. The app provides a streamlined and inclusive workflow, enabling the sales team to offer real-time answers to prospective customers. By deploying the app through the COMSOL Server, the simulation results are accessible via a secure web connection, making it easier for salespeople and customers to use. The app has significantly reduced the time and resources required to provide proofs of concept, allowing the sales team to focus on building trust and securing second meetings with potential clients. Additionally, the app fosters collaboration and transparency, enabling customers to present their buying choices more effectively within their organizations.
运营影响
  • The deployment of the SpreaderCalc app has streamlined the sales process, allowing sales engineers to provide real-time answers to prospective customers.
  • The app has reduced the time and resources required to create proofs of concept, enabling the sales team to focus on building trust and securing second meetings with potential clients.
  • The app fosters collaboration and transparency, making it easier for customers to present their buying choices within their organizations.
  • The use of the COMSOL Server ensures that the simulation results are accessible via a secure web connection, enhancing the overall user experience.
  • GrafTech is already creating variants of the app to assist with niche markets such as thermal interface materials, EMI/RFI shielding, and rapid heating processes.
数量效益
  • The app has reduced the time required to run a design of experiments (DoE) from a week to just one hour of an application engineer's time.
  • Previously, only one customer-oriented model per year was provided due to high costs, but now the app allows for more frequent and cost-effective simulations.
