关于客户
苏州三星电子有限公司是韩国和中国公司的合资企业,开发和生产主要家用电器。在过去的 17 年里,该公司推出了许多新型冰箱和洗衣机,每款都经过精心设计,通过优化来提供最大价值,减轻产品重量,同时保持最高质量的性能。每个组件的设计都是为了实现这一目标,该公司一直致力于优化其中一台洗衣机皮带轮的设计。
挑战
苏州三星电子有限公司是韩国和中国公司的合资企业,一直致力于优化其一台洗衣机的皮带轮设计。皮带轮是滚筒洗衣机的重要组成部分,传统上由铸铝制成。然而,随着成本压力的增加,该公司寻求通过优化设计和/或使用新材料进行生产来减轻滑轮的重量。面临的挑战是考虑替代材料,同时考虑其性能和成本。为了应对这些挑战,苏州三星决定采用拓扑优化技术。
解决方案
为了优化滑轮,苏州三星选择了 OptiStruct,它是 Altair HyperWorks 计算机辅助工程工具套件的关键组件。 OptiStruct 提供了重要的优化功能,例如拓扑、尺寸和形状优化。该公司采用了拓扑优化的变密度方法,该方法使用元素的相对密度作为设计变量来确定优化的材料分布。该过程首先对原始滑轮模型进行静态分析,然后定义拓扑优化模型。解决优化问题后,根据结果重建模型,并对新模型进行尺寸和形状优化。该过程以优化结构的静态分析结束,比较优化前后的结果。该公司还评估了从铝制皮带轮改用尼龙皮带轮的潜在好处。

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
