关于客户
Mabe 是一家全球性公司,设计、生产电器并向 70 多个国家分销。该公司于 1946 年在墨西哥城成立,生产各种商品,包括冰箱、烤箱和洗衣烘干机。对于像 Mabe 这样的白色家电制造商来说,其家用电器的设计和工程质量对于获得最佳客户体验至关重要。然而,这些产品从仓库到运输到客户家门口的整个过程中都可能遭受跌落和撞击损坏。 Mabe 是一家总部位于墨西哥城、价值 30 亿美元的跨国公司,了解精心设计的包装对于保护其设计、制造和分销并在 70 个国家/地区销售的 15 个品牌的电器的重要性。
挑战
Mabe 是一家设计、生产并向 70 多个国家销售电器的跨国公司,在通过优化包装材料来改善洗衣干衣机的保护方面面临着挑战。该公司希望减少产品潜在的运输损坏,同时避免使用过度包装,否则会导致材料和运输成本显着增加。面临的挑战是制定一个优化的包装设计,考虑到各种装载场景和替代包装设计,并在设计阶段的早期,在对包装进行任何物理测试之前这样做。 Mabe 还希望将来将为洗衣烘干机开发的分析模拟技术转移到其他产品的包装中,从而使公司能够优化和加速其设计工作。
解决方案
Mabe 与 Altair ProductDesign 合作,因为 Altair ProductDesign 在对广泛的产品和包装应用优化策略方面拥有丰富的经验。第一个任务是生成一个有限元分析 (FEA) 模型,准确地表示 Mabe 的产品及其包装结构。 Altair 的 HyperWorks 预处理解决方案 HyperMesh 用于创建所有产品相关结构组件以及发泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 泡沫、层压纸和瓦楞板等包装结构的完整 FEA 模型。然后,Altair ProductDesign 工程师能够让洗衣烘干机和包装材料的虚拟模型承受与物理测试中相同的负载。利用 HyperWorks 的 OptiStruct 和 HyperStudy 技术进行拓扑优化,以改善产品保护、降低材料成本、减轻包装重量并提高 EPS 泡沫结构和层压纸角柱的性能。

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.

Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.

Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
