关于客户
Re-Loc 是一家英国公司,该公司开发了一种新产品来帮助加快施工过程。该产品是一个夹子,可以紧密地安装在混凝土砖的空腔内,并固定在钢筋上,将其牢固地固定到位。该团队已经开发出一个粗略的设计,并证明它可以完成预期的工作,但当涉及到产品的制造成本时出现了问题。由于可能需要数百甚至数千个夹子安装在单个结构内以将杆固定到位,因此该产品的生产成本必须非常便宜且易于使用。
挑战
英国公司 Re-Loc 开发了一种新产品来加速施工过程。该产品是一个夹子,可安装在混凝土砖的空腔内并固定在钢筋上,将其牢固地固定到位。然而,考虑到单个结构需要大量的夹子,初始设计的制造成本对于大规模生产来说太高了。面临的挑战是减少零件的材料使用和成本,将设计提高到生产水平,并使其尽可能高效。该部件必须足够坚硬,以保持垂直和水平杆相对于空心砌块内表面的位置,允许混凝土浇注在其内部或周围,并在使用过程中承受所有环境因素。
解决方案
Re-Loc 联系 Altair ProductDesign,探索减少零件材料使用和成本的方法。 Altair 首先进行了一项研究,探索零件所需的材料,该零件需要具有足够的刚度和强度特性,并且适合低成本、大批量制造。他们发现注塑聚合物或泡沫将是最好的选择。然后,他们对现有设计进行动态仿真分析,以发现当前的性能水平。通过捕获原始设计的性能数据,Altair 对组件进行了拓扑优化研究,以研究改进设计和去除材料的方法。 Altair ProductDesign 将拓扑结果解释回详细的 CAD 设计,团队应用他们的经验建议进一步增强整体设计,以最大限度地提高性能。 Altair ProductDesign 生成的最终设计成功地达到了项目开始时设定的性能目标。

Continuous Casting Machines in a Steel Factory
With a very broad range of applications, steel is an important material and has been developed into the most extensive alloy in the engineering world. Since delivering high quality is absolutely crucial for steel plants, ensuring maximum productivity and the best quality production are the keys to competitiveness in the steel industry. Additionally, working conditions in steel factories are not suitable for workers to stay in for long periods of time, so manufactures usually adopt various machines to complete the steel production processes. However, the precision of these machines is often overestimated and the lack of flexibility also makes supervisors unable to adjust operating procedures. A renowned steel factory in Asia planned to improve its Distributed Control System (DCS) of furnaces as well as addressing the problem of insufficient accuracy. However, most well-known international equipment suppliers can not provide a satisfactory solution and local maintenance because the project needed new technologies to more accurately control equipment operations. By implementing Advantech’s automated monitoring and control solution, steel factories can not only improve the manufacturing processes but can also allow users to add additional functions to the existing system so as to make sure the operation runs at high efficiency.
