关于客户
Philomec 是一家加拿大初创公司,专门从事机械工程服务。他们提供适用于多个行业的设计、CAD 和模拟服务。他们的主要重点是帮助公司使用机械和生物力学有限元模拟来设计和优化其产品。他们汇集了具有世界一流生物力学模拟专业知识的研究工程师。 Philomec 开发了一系列经过验证的人体骨关节模型,用于降低成本并加速骨科植入物的设计。他们创建了定制的、经过验证的生物力学模型,并由专家对模拟结果进行分析,使外科医生能够选择植入物的模型,并根据特定患者的情况调整手术操作。
挑战
由于材料的复杂性、实验数据的稀缺性以及缺乏变异性的表征,医疗行业,特别是骨科行业在验证生物力学模型方面面临着重大挑战。这些模型对于理解和预测生物组织在受到外力作用时的畸形和骨折风险至关重要。研究现象的多因素性质进一步加剧了这一挑战,其中包括影响机械行为的生物和化学参数。对个性化医疗的需求,特别是在骨科手术中,又增加了一层复杂性,因为它需要具有针对每个患者个性化的形状和特征的骨植入物。
解决方案
Philomec 是一家加拿大初创公司,通过使用 Altair HyperWorks 对肌肉骨骼模型进行显式多物理场仿真,开发了应对这一挑战的解决方案。这种方法允许创建定制的、经过验证的生物力学模型,并由专家分析模拟结果。这使得外科医生能够选择植入物的型号并根据特定患者的情况调整手术操作,从而减少使用的植入物的数量以及并发症的风险。与传统设计技术相比,植入物设计师还可以更快、更经济地优化其产品的几何形状。该公司在仿真方面的专业知识使他们脱颖而出,因为大多数咨询公司仅提供隐式 FEM 仿真。 Altair 的实用、可定制且高度通用的工具正是他们解决此类复杂且特定问题所需要的。

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.

Premium Appliance Producer Innovates with Internet of Everything
Sub-Zero faced the largest product launch in the company’s history:It wanted to launch 60 new products as scheduled while simultaneously opening a new “greenfield” production facility, yet still adhering to stringent quality requirements and manage issues from new supply-chain partners. A the same time, it wanted to increase staff productivity time and collaboration while reducing travel and costs.
