关于客户
都灵理工大学的 PoliTo 帆船队由 40 名学生组成,分为六个组:行政组、结构组、流体动力学组、公共关系组、材料组和运动组。该团队成立于2014年,采用层级结构运作,每个小组有一名负责经理或一名团队负责人。然而,每个团队成员的个人意见具有相同的分量。该团队还得到了该大学机械和航空航天工程系的支持。该项目背后的基本理念是,即使是像 PoliTo 帆船队这样的小团队,也可以处理由天然材料组成的小船的设计、建造和航行等项目,并从中学习经验。
挑战
1001VELAcup 是一项比赛,来自各个大学的学生团队设计并建造自己的船只来参加帆船赛。船只必须遵守特定的级别规则,包括尺寸限制和使用可持续材料。都灵理工大学的 PoliTo 帆船队是参赛队伍之一。他们面临的挑战是设计一艘由 70% 可持续材料制成的船,在给定的尺寸限制内,并使用 Altair 的 HyperWorks 计算机辅助工程 (CAE) 工具套件。该队的目标是提高去年的成绩,去年他们在帆船赛中获得了第八名和第三名。该项目的重点是在给定的帆船赛规则范围内设计和建造一艘小船(一种特定类型的帆船)。特别的挑战是团队必须使用特定类别的材料,例如可回收的天然材料,即亚麻纤维、玄武岩纤维或木材。为了使用给定的材料开发轻型且坚固的船舶结构,团队必须使用复杂的建模和模拟工具来找到理想的结构形状和材料布局。
解决方案
PoliTo 帆船团队使用 HyperWorks 工具 HyperMesh、OptiStruct 和 HyperView 对小艇的一部分进行设计和结构分析。他们首先根据小艇的预期用例以及比赛的给定规格和规定,在纸上画出船的草图。然后他们在 CAD 系统中创建了第一个粗略的虚拟模型。在研究了可能发生的最坏的负载情况后,团队在 HyperMesh 中重新创建了管状结构。他们表征了材料特性并确定了边界条件,例如支撑点和最危险的负载情况。学生们使用特定的管段并使用 OptiStruct 进行分析以获得第一个结果。当最初没有出现预期结果时,团队开始进行许多不同的分析,改变杆部分的尺寸并施加不同的载荷。在迭代过程结束时,学生们找到了适合他们的船的最佳配置,结合了两个预设的设计目标:高结构鲁棒性和低重量。

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.

Splunk Partnership Ties Together Big Data & IoT Services
Splunk was faced with the need to meet emerging customer demands for interfacing IoT projects to its suite of services. The company required an IoT partner that would be able to easily and quickly integrate with its Splunk Enterprise platform, rather than allocating development resources and time to building out an IoT interface and application platform.
