关于客户
Argon 18 是一家自行车制造商,由退休自行车手 Gervais Rioux 于 1989 年在魁北克省蒙特利尔创立。该公司采用最先进的技术开发和设计高性能自行车。 Argon 18 是专业自行车队的积极赞助商,并在 70 多个国家/地区拥有全球经销权。 Argon 自行车专为专业骑手以及寻求自行车最佳性能的普通公众而设计,以提供卓越的骑行体验。 Argon 18 最近与 ETS 增材制造加工、材料和结构工程研究主席合作,为 Lasse Norman Hansen 制造了一款新型场地自行车,Lasse Norman Hansen 是代表丹麦队参加 2016 年里约奥运会场地自行车比赛的运动员之一。
挑战
Argon 18 是一家高性能自行车制造商,旨在开发一款更坚固、高度集成、更符合空气动力学且效率更高的自行车。面临的挑战是在不影响结构强度和功率的情况下制造一辆轻质自行车。产品的重量可能是竞争性自行车行业的决定性差异。团队的要求是尽可能提供最坚固的自行车,同时获得最佳的空气动力学结果,因为骑手在赛道比赛中会消耗大量的功率。使自行车更具空气动力学特性通常会导致形状更薄,因此面临的挑战是使车架坚硬,同时平衡结构的强度和刚度。该项目的一个重要方面是开发一种新的铝制立管,供汉森先生在飞圈比赛中使用,该比赛是从出发点起最快圈速实现的。把立需要无缝地集成到自行车车架上,同时牢固地固定到叉插件上。
解决方案
采用有限元分析(FEA)来了解产品的结构,对其进行改进和优化。 CFD 分析和虚拟风洞模拟有助于改进空气动力学方面。随后,FEA 和 CFD 流程进行了几次迭代,尝试了不同的组件配置,使叶片更宽、更薄,并将其远离车轮、拉近,同时密切关注 CFD 和 FEA 数据。设计改进显着降低了空气动力阻力 (CdA),这是制造更快自行车的关键参数。使用 Altair OptiStruct 进行线性应力分析,以验证阀杆主体和夹具设计。应力分析表明,其刚度比典型的碳纤维杆高约 9%。它还确定了需要调整的几个尺寸,以保持零件的完整性,例如管状部分和车把夹紧部分的厚度。

Energy Saving & Power Monitoring System
Recently a university in Taiwan was experiencing dramatic power usage increases due to its growing number of campus buildings and students. Aiming to analyze their power consumption and increase their power efficiency across 52 buildings, the university wanted to build a power management system utilizing web-based hardware and software. With these goals in mind, they contacted Advantech to help them develop their system and provide them with the means to save energy in the years to come.

IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.

Intelligent Building Automation System and Energy Saving Solution
One of the most difficult problems facing the world is conserving energy in buildings. However, it is not easy to have a cost-effective solution to reduce energy usage in a building. One solution for saving energy is to implement an intelligent building automation system (BAS) which can be controlled according to its schedule. In Indonesia a large university with a five floor building and 22 classrooms wanted to save the amount of energy being used.
