关于客户
FuseFX is a company that uses its proprietary content-creation pipeline to build visual effects for episodic television, feature films, commercials, and virtual-reality productions. Founded in 2006, the company operates studios in Los Angeles, New York City, and Vancouver, BC. The company is known for its technical artistry that goes into work like creating eye-popping action sequences in The Tick, for example, FuseFX used Autodesk 3ds Max 3D modeling and rendering software with the Chaos Group V-Ray plugin. The company is growing quickly in terms of company size and the scope of its creative ambitions.
挑战
FuseFX, a visual effects company, was facing a challenge of lack of compute power, specifically, finding enough nodes for the compute-hungry process of rendering computer-generated imagery (CGI). The company was growing quickly in terms of size and the scope of its creative ambitions. One of the responsibilities was ensuring that the capacity of the FuseFX content-creation pipeline grows right along with the rest of the company. The company needed a solution that could provide unlimited computing power, the ability to expand rendering nodes quickly, affordably, and essentially infinitely.
解决方案
FuseFX turned to Thinkbox Software, creators of Thinkbox Deadline, an administration and compute management toolkit for render farms, for help adding cloud capabilities. Working with Thinkbox, FuseFX took advantage of the AWS Portal in Thinkbox Deadline to augment its on-premises render nodes with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Spot Instances. The new architecture allowed Thinkbox Deadline to have connectivity into FuseFX's AWS account, so it could spin up instances on demand and then terminate them when they weren't needed. FuseFX relied on AWS Thinkbox Deadline to manage and administer on-premises render resources for lighter workloads. When processing needs, or delivery expectations exceeded the capacity of the company’s on-premises render farm, the solution seamlessly added Amazon EC2 instances as needed.

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
Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations
