关于客户
Manz AG 总部位于德国罗伊特林根，是一家领先的高科技工程公司，近年来已从自动化专家发展成为生产线供应商。 Manz 拥有电池/燃料电池、显示器、电子和太阳能应用四个主要业务部门，为各个行业提供交钥匙生产工厂。该公司的新业务部门已经参与了SOWEMA项目，并且在轻量化设计和复合材料方面拥有丰富的经验。新业务部门是与 Altair 合作的推动力之一，旨在通过先前的组件优化来扩展灵活的 FPP 制造流程。
挑战
由于复杂的设计形状和主要是手工制造工艺，大批量且经济地生产碳纤维增强塑料 (CFRP) 部件是一项重大挑战。这限制了纤维复合材料的生产只能是小系列或单一产品。尽管CFRP部件具有理想的性能，例如轻质潜力和优异的机械性能，但其复杂的设计和成本密集的制造工艺一直是其缺点。纤维补片预成型（FPP）方法是在空中客车集团创新公司的领导下开发的，能够通过软件铺层计划自动生产复合材料预成型件。然而，下一个挑战是创建适合大规模生产和高效加工纤维补片的制造设施。这催生了 SOWEMA 研究项目，该项目旨在使用 FPP 方法开发灵活且全自动的制造工艺。
解决方案
Manz AG 是一家领先的高科技工程公司，与 Altair 及其工程服务部门 Altair ProductDesign 合作，通过预先的组件优化来扩展柔性 FPP 制造流程。 SOWEMA 项目的总体目标是缩短从 CAD 绘图到最终产品的整个开发和生产周期，同时保持 FPP 设施提供的灵活性和可重复性。为了研究可行性并评估整个流程（包括自动优化）的优缺点，Manz Altair ProductDesign 联合团队使用自行车座椅作为第一个测试对象。优化过程完全自动化，用户只需插入 CAD 模型和发生的载荷。自动优化的结果是一个包含组件优化结构的文件，包括特定于负载的纤维取向和层压结构。该文件随后补充了工艺和机器数据，然后 Manz 生产机器使用 FPP 方法制造了零件。

Case Study
Airbus Soars with Wearable Technology
Building an Airbus aircraft involves complex manufacturing processes consisting of thousands of moving parts. Speed and accuracy are critical to business and competitive advantage. Improvements in both would have high impact on Airbus’ bottom line. Airbus wanted to help operators reduce the complexity of assembling cabin seats and decrease the time required to complete this task.
Case Study
Aircraft Predictive Maintenance and Workflow Optimization
First, aircraft manufacturer have trouble monitoring the health of aircraft systems with health prognostics and deliver predictive maintenance insights. Second, aircraft manufacturer wants a solution that can provide an in-context advisory and align job assignments to match technician experience and expertise.
Case Study
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).

Aerospace & Defense Case Study Airbus
For the development of its new wide-body aircraft, Airbus needed to ensure quality and consistency across all internal and external stakeholders. Airbus had many challenges including a very aggressive development schedule and the need to ramp up production quickly to satisfy their delivery commitments. The lack of communication extended design time and introduced errors that drove up costs.
